I've seen it done on a RB a couple of years ago, personally i dont know why you would bother with a RB, for the money it would cost, you can get greater gains for less money with a good turbocharger setup. It is different however and pretty cool to see people doing something a little bit different.

i think when i look up supercharging on a skyline and read into it - it comes out expensive and lots of custom work

if you are a fabricator / mechanic then i think its fine - but for your average dude who just wants a bolt on kit turbo is easier and better $ for kw etc

yehi was thinking maybe turbo and supercharged, like some rallycars, my engine is already turboed and rebuilt but yeh i was thinkn to do something a little bit diffrent

Ah ok. Yeah a twin charged setup would be a good setup however extremely expensive to do and set up correctly. Would be interesting to find out how much something like that would cost. Has anyone in Aus ever twin charged a RB25?

not a 25 but a 26, I have seen it in person and what a monster. Now this motor is in a R32 GTR cant wait to see a run on the track with that.

I dont think its fake it is in the same spot as the one in town and just has dual turbos. They created less lag but rob your top end

Not true...kind off. If those superchargers are twin screw, then they will not limit the top end power at all.

As for the pic, its been discussed before, and that particular thread came to a conclusion that it IS fake. Fake or not, its crap coz there is not way you can fit all that in a skyline engine bay :D.

ask stocky, from memory he said it wasnt worth it. its alot of time and effort for not much results, just get a correctly sized turbo, and with the leftover cash go RB30DET

that pic of the twin charge kit isnt fake either, i thought it was at first too because the pipin looks dodge, but i've got a pic of it from another angle, and from what i can tell its real

the only thing with that is with the way the piping is (from what i can see) the system wouldnt work, as they are booth running in parallel not series, and there doesnt seem to be any sort of valving in line either, think they just threw it together to try and look good lol

i love suprechargers, they are a great upgrade on an NA engine.. hell i would love to put one on my V35. a guy on WA had one on his V35 before he sold it..

but for an engine that already comes out turbocharged, like the rb, it just seems silly to bother going with the R&D of a supercharger when you can just bolt up a different turbo if you're not happy with power. that alone is reason enough not to bother in my eyes

Very well said. Pretty much sums it off perfectly.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
