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 :P im happy with my decision.

Well, stroking a 2.5 to a 2.7 is going to adversely effect you compression ratio and make the engine more prone to detonation, you need to shift a huge amount of air for 500kw, the two of these add up to disaster. But I think the sc and engine will run out of huff long before then.

lolz na man she wants to do something unique like blow her car; thats different!

jokes aside, i like the charged route...check out the s15 twincharged which is really cool (i know its turbocharged too) but in the US they are selling quite a few supercharger kits for bmw 3 series with great results! aim for a reasonable amount of power like 400ish hp from an efficient supercharger and you can have a torque monster

The bmw kit is stealth; anodised black it just blends in with the engine covers so it can be made 'stealthy' im a big fan

Well now that I've read this from start to finish I'll comment:

To ahjosh - your a knob.

To the 34 girl - I think you may need to rethink the numbers, I know you say you have done "alot" of research and Im not doubting that. What I am doubting is the ability of a stroked 2.5L engine being able to produce 750Hp with a supercharger.

Regardless of what you do during this rebuild it simply won't flow enough - and if it does it will last all of about 1 day running 40 psi.

I don't mean any disrespect, but have you seen anyone get near these results with an RB25? or RB27? Best I've heard of is about ~200kw

At the end of the day - your car and your money so do what you want. But when its done don't expect people not to say "I told you so"

My 2 cents

totally agree with u on the fact tht ahjosh is a knob and the chick... but u can take a rb25 is capable of just more than ~200kw. im currently puttin gout 250rwkw....

but yea... 500kw even after increasing to 2.7L is just a joke.

he's referring to using a supercharger...

RB25's can make a shedload more than 200rwkw - has been proven many times, just not with superchargers...

there's a difference in the exponential power that a turbo makes and the linear power that a supercharger works. Also due to the supercharger's direct attachment to the engine (wheras a turbo works independently off the exhaust) there's a loss incurred. So just because a turbo can let an RB25 make more than 200 easily, doesn't mean a supercharger's gonna be just as easy.

just regarding the rb motor..i can't double check, but isn't there a few 1000hp skylines? what engines were they using? probably would be helpful looking up what exactly they did

Getting the horsepower from a supercharger isn't the problem. Getting the horsepower from a low compression engine to turn the supercharger to begin with will be a problem.

Maybe I should get all of my engineering/car manual stuff out and write up a FAQ on superchargers. It sure would stop a lot of speculation... Hell I'm going to do it.

EDIT: Oh and superchargers don't neccessarily make linear power gains. Centrifugal superchargers have a somewhat similar power curve to a turbo due to their design. Hell don't worry I'll write this FAQ up and be done with it.

It's not hard to tell that no-one has done any real research into it.... 2 seconds of RB supercharger kit found one to suit an RB30 off the shelf.

Castlemain Rod shop do a SC14 kit for an RB30. I'm sure you could use that kit and modify the outlet pipe to suit the NEO. As for wasting cash, a complete kit cost $2400. Easy.

Here's the link

So now go do it.

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 :)

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?

Stick to NA on Ps and turbos on full licence.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
