i would so have sold the 34 and bought a gtr with the money u wanna spend on ur sc kit.

massive waste of cash imo

but hay each to there own i guess

Um, then doing any mods to a car is a waste of cash, your logic fails.

I'm in the process of doing a VQ30DETT into my R34...waste of cash? I don't think so.

no, that isnt the logic. the logic is spending the amount in question for a result which seems a little fanciful, is a waste of cash.

is your vq30dett costing you 30k? what sort of power do you think you'll be pushing once complete?

The VQ is costing me less than half of $30,000, from start to finish.

Power? around 500HP With a lovely torque figure.

It's all about being different. Would i put a VQ30 into my R34 if it was going to cost 30k? Yup.

if you want a supercharged skyline, throw an ls2 in there and charge that... wont cost 30k, will be 400rwkw

Or even better, get your hands on an LSX from GM. 7.5L, 620HP, 800nm, and factory warranty too.

I dunno if you're aware, but Nissan stroked the RB engine to 2.6L and added two turbos to it about 20 years ago.

AFAIK stroking an N/A to 2.7L and adding a supercharger to it is the most f**ked up thing I've heard. And doing it to be different just reeks of someone trying to be a hero. So please, don't be the kettle that calls the pot black.

Supercharging your car to be different.??

Get some attention for doing something worthwhile to your Skyline, most people would love to be able to spend that amount on their Skyline, not waste it on unpractical ideas.

There is a reason you don't see any S/C lines around and believe me its not JUST a money issue.

As for 700hp+ Good luck, think you might need even more of that endless cash pit

Why do you need that much hp, surely if you were after power you would not go down the path you have??

What exactly are you trying to achieve??

If you wanna S/C to be different do it in a RR not RB

Go the supercharged RR LMFAO!!!!!

MISSR34, can i ask where you got this figure of 500rwkw from? seen a few V8 commodores with that charger or similar, keping in mind they roughly double the capacity (or more) than the motor your building, and i havent seen any of them make 500rkw.... that said i havent been actively looking for results

guys alot of you are missing the point with Cara, she is trying to do something different. Obviously doesnt care about the cash but wants something unique. Good luck to her and the SC is what i say.

thanks dude. much appreciated. in the end i have researched my butt off to make sure im doing the right thing! and i know i am...sure its 30k but i know its gonna be worth it in the end lol :D im happy with my decision.

There is no point to be missed. She is missing the point that she is wasting her money! But she doesn't care and doesn't want to take on advice from people. I bet her 3 'friends' that are giving her the thumbs up will be more than willing to take all her cash!

I am sure there is a fine line with being unique and throwing your money away.

If it was that beneficial then everyone would have done it a long time ago.

i have all faith in the 3 people that are the main "boys" of my build, my tuner, my engine builder, and the dude im getting the supercharger off of. all 3 actaully know each other too which is a bonus, and all 3 have said i will make the power with no issues. :D
i guess it also comes down to what has been done to the engine aswell. im going all out! im storking to 2.7L ive got custom cams being made to suit the supercharger to help with max performance levels as well. the entire engine is being built around the specs of the T Trim and what is going to help make the most power it can.

i have all faith in my 3 main boys that they will get her at about 500 rwkw.....

I think they all saw you coming and its no coincidence that they're all encouraging this bullshit fantasy build at your expense. Misplaced faith I'd say.

500rwkw is a lot of power. That is bleeding edge stuff, similar to what some of the best big single turbo, race engine RB26s do.

I think you'll find that its not going to happen for $30k either. Had any thoughts about the gearbox, diff, driveshafts, brakes, wheels and rubber you'll need to contain that 500rwkw?

Cams and 200cc aren't actually going to make an enormous difference.

Ok so lets just say that "hyperthiticly" I'm considering supercharging my r34 skyline as im on my p's,will a sc14 supercharger make enough difference to bother with and would it be hard to hide,I'd plan on setting up a hiden on/off button so i can use it when im on the track and then turn it of for daily driving :D

What will i need? other then the supercharger and do i need to add anything,would i be able to do it myself without any hasel's?

My advice, wait until the school holidays are over and then concentrate hard between 9am and 3pm. "hyperthiticly" you will make much more progress in life by learning to spell than you will by trying to illegally modify your car, well concealed or not you are guaranteed to have "hasels" with the police.

Bingo.

Cara you sound exactly like my g/f stubborn as all hell and wont listen to reason. You have a plethora of people telling u this wont work with experience and examples to back it up and your not listening to rational reason. Why would all these people be bullshitting on you? Do u think jealosy is an issue when people are straight up mocking you for this idea?

Best of luck I say, not with the car but with life in general with your attitude. No offence.

alrighty

i showed this thread to a friend of mine last night. he works at sabaddin automotive and before that at the original rank rotary he has many years experience working with serious hi performance car and has built many 500+ hp cars.

he said ur a dreamer (amongst other things) and said ur pretty much getting ripped off. u would need to more than double ur budget to get to anywhere near ur goals. and ur using the wrong motor for it.

and to the op ur a dumb flamin mongrel seriously

i dont want all the wheels to spin just the back ones :) ,and i dont want to give up something i love doing just because the police dont want me to.

You will get caught.

And then you will pay " Stupid Tax".

By the sounds of it you will pay alot of stupid tax.

What sort of performance advantage, track times or purpose are you selecting the 750hp supercharger setup for?

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
