Hey DRD-00F that is one big turbo but does that thing really goin 2 fit in the supra.? but look forward 2 seeing your pics on that supra, just wondering does the supra have more engine space or does the skyline have more.?

StockyMcStock thats just supercharge rite.? no turbo yeah.. that sc looks like a sc-14 but it also looks like the kompressor supercharge i saw on ebay... thats pretty impressive power for an sc tho but duno how much mods he had 2 do 2 get to this power...

paulr33 just thought maybe reving harder could catch up a bit on the shifting on turbo cars, but u r rite rev hard doesnt mean more power but unless u reali mod it out properli but i just thought sometimes thinking of the normal way of power is a change might find some kewl ideas..

Anyone trust e-sc..? i'm thinkin of giving it a ago imagine e-sc + sc + T man i think i'm starting to go mad here........ miner.gif

erm....... no it's not. see the wastegate high mounted at the back of the engine bay?

here is the manifold:

here it is with just the turbo:

which is fairly large:

here is a youtube video i made of it:

this engine shits all over a turbo-only setup in almost every way.

p.s. i was thinking of making kits but it's too expensive and nobody could really afford it.

Edited by StockyMcStock

well i built the bottom end myself with new pistons, so that was super cheap.

had the head reconditioned, ported it myself.

made the exhaust manifold for $150 all up

the only real extra costs above a single turbo setup are the blower purchase price ($300), modifying the drive snout ($200), billet drive system ($500) and belts ($40) the steel was basically free and the idler bearing was cheap as chips.

it would cost a LOT if you asked a shop to do it. not to mention they would have NFI how to make it work. even the bloke who tuned it on the dyno didn't understand it.

Heres the supra i was talking about... you can see part of the engine in, the turbo and super chargers are mounted... and that thing at the front is a radiator, not an intercooler...

custom made exhaust manifold... not the first one they made... but best one for the job...

anyway, its coming along nicely... we're still waiting on parts and what not...

Thats look sweet it looks like an earlier model of the supra is that rite.?

So how long is this project goin to take.?

were still waiting on some of the internals to come form the US, but i think they are on their way and being rushed... after that, theres still body work, electronics an paint... 'late march' has been uttered from time to time... but so was 'before christmas' 5 months ago...

i put money down when it started that it would pass easter... im gunna make $50 soon i think :(

they work pretty quick, its jsut parts that take forever...

man the dump pipe clearance to the firewall must be tight.

when i was looking at making kits for the 2jz supras i had a good measure up of it all, everything seemed far too tight at the back and you couldn't fit a GT42 compressor in between the engine and strut tower, but they've managed to jam it in behind somehow. dump pipe must be TIGHT!

what sort of blower is it? looks like one of the TRD ones, which are (as far as i can tell) enlarged and revised SC-14's. i hope it has the capabilities to produce the required boost and not run into the redline of the blower.

p.s. if the guys need any tech support, let me know. i trust they're using a bypass gate?

i dunno... im not a mechanic... but they've done all this before, never on a supra, and not quite to this extenet, but they have done it before...

and yeah, shit was tight on the 2JZ before hand anyway... now its gunna be really tight.

and yeah im pretty sure it is the TRD one... ive got one at home from the states that i tried to sell him but it was too big... might put it on the MX5 instead... gutless POS...

im not going there this weekend as i have paintball, but my mate is... ill let you know if there are any updates over the weekend...

I think he meant the MX5 was gutless.

haha yeah i did... the MX5 is gutless, and the supercharger is literally too big for this application... basically in just size...

im heading to the shop tomorrow... ive got some shit to talk about... ill see what they're up to... :(

If you´re after a turbo and a supercharger on a car, I seem to recall a car that did that. I´m pretty sure it was the Nissan march or something similiar. From memory it came equipped with a turbocharger and a supercharger with a clutch that engaged one or the other.

Oh, found a link:

http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/id/?id=132715

yep, it´s T&S/charged

small engine though.

If you found out how it was done, maybe it would help.

***UPDATE***

they felt the supra was too heavy for the mods, so they chucked it on this trolley instead :rofl:

yeah i dunno, they're waiting for some internals that still haven't come from the US... no real progress can be done til they get in...

DRD 00F Please keep us posted.!

Hi All,

I have purchased this e-sc and going to put it on with a turbo setup on my n/a i was also thinking getting a chipped n/a ecu then a emanager, any other suggests of this setup.? i'm tryin to keep as low as possible in budget. thanks.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
