I'd be keen to supercharge my skyline, but id do it properly with an aftermarket supercharger.

What i want to know is, bang for buck what puts out more power: n/a + Turbo or n/a + supercharger??? (on a minimal budget)

that is like asking how long is a piece of string. unless you can give turbo and supercharger sizes it is a pointless question,

if the engine was a rb25 and it was NA + stock turbo or NA + toyota supercharger then i would have to say that the turbo will shit all over it. the toyota supercharger is miles too small to effectively provide enough boost in the top end of a 2.5L. even on a 2L it would struggle. you have to remember that the superchargers are generally for toyota's 1.6L engines.

i know people who have put them on commodores before and while they do make a difference it does trail off a bit up top. the commodore motors are a bigger motor, but they don't rev as high as the rb motors so it sort of balances out a bit and brings them closer as far as the volume of air they use

I was meaning an aftermarket supercharger coz i know toyota ones are shit, but i don't have much to spend so id say about $2k is my budget. Also n/a plus T = shit power you only get like 180kw which is like a stock r33 gtst.

When did Stock r33 GTSt's make 180kw? Mate take a 180rwkw NA+t against a 180rwkw DET and the +t will leave it miles behind.

Gee... I must have only picked up 5KW with all the mods done on my R33 GTS-t then...

FMIC, full 3" TBE, lightweight flywheel, CAI setup... 185KW (That was a "roller coaster" setup though of a power curve... Once tuned 193RWKW...

DE+twill be more tractable power wise off boost too due to higher compresion.

meh, my 33 GTST made 178rwkw with nothing but a frount mount... It was running quite a lot of boost though...

added an ecu, full exhaust, pod filter and gained like 12 kws...

Now it's over 200 with all that shit, but the turbo is pushing out a bar of boost or more...

Every car is different.

don't waste your time with a supercharger, especially if you have a 'minimal budget'. Modifying performance cars has nothing to do with minimal budgets...

firstly, 180kw is a hell of a jump over a stock NA. it is roughly a 60kw jump. what do you think is the reason why a NA+t using stock turbo etc won't make more power than a DET? and what makes you think that just bolting a supercharger on will be better? the reasons why a NA+t will only make as much power as a DET will be the same reasons why you won't get much of a different result with a supercharger install with a budget of 2k. do a NA+t and spend about 5k on the job and it will make a lot more than 180kw, as would a supercharger upgrade at the same money

not entirely true. if you have both cars crawl along at about 1500rpm and then floor it the NA will pull away, but if both cars are at around 3000rpm or a bit higher when you floor it the NA will pull away a fraction (doubt it would even be half a car length) as the NA will spool up the turbo quicker then they will both accelerate about the same. at the end of the day 180kw is 180kw. the NA will have more down low but up top they will both go the same. the only other thing that may make a difference is the gear/diff ratios. which ever ones has the shortest ratios will have the quicker acceleration, but will have to change gears sooner.

lol.

dont compare the kw, compare the torque & response difference.

eg: i made 180 on 10psi but torque was around 499nM

comparing with other 180rwkw RB25DETs around they were getting 400~ nM of torque and were probably running bit more boost as well

Furthermore to dori's post... you can make alot more then just 180kw..... but you must have the MONEY/time/motivation/know how and tuner...

if this is the dude in newcastle im thinking about that reckons he's strapped a supercharger from a toyota on a n/a skyline it run's like a f**king piece of shit and the bloke is f**king full of shit, and yer apprently he put something like this thread up on "SAU" which im assuming this is it so yer

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
