Would it be possible to set up some sort of clutching system so it slips slightly until you get right on the throttle making it quieter?

All the supercharged v8s I hear only tend to really whine when full throttle.

Edited by Rolls

Rolls I dont think I could incorporate that sort of system unfortunately. The noise is abit different to that on a regular supercharged v8. Because their unit is mounted straight onto the inlet manifold the thickness of the ally dampens the noise from the outlet. But they usually also have an airbox that the intake sucks from unless its old school with carby on top with bug catchers through the bonnet. But most of those use roots blowers which are a little quieter then a twin screw as they dont internally compress. Plus I believe their whine is from the actual gears meshing not the pumping noises of the unit itself.

At idle and through most of the rev range the induction noise is really loud and then it gets overpowered by the pulsing outlet noise from the charger which is fine at higher rpm. Its just the idle noise I want to dull down.

After a video or two you will know what I mean.

Lol nice one Duncan. I have and I dont want to have to re do anything, not yet anyway. Lol if I do have to re do anything then I will consider twin charging it. Maybe in years to come. Build a tough RB30, another custom exhaust manifold to mount something like a gt45 or something around that to try and have a super responsive 1000hp.....

i know for a fact that a nice big 16x11x8" muffler will fit on the back of an R33, combined with the decent sized mid muffler you have now that should take a lot of the noise out, i know on a turbo skyline one of them mufflers and a hotdog will get a 3" exhaust to legal levels. (as mine is a 16x11x6 + hotdog mid muffler and reads 89db @ 4000, 92db @ idle)

Being NA it will be a bit harder to make quiet but you can always go a custom huge muffler if off the shelf sizes dont take enough out.

9" will fit also.

I'm running a cat, followed by a 5" mid muffler thats 550 mm long (Able to go out to 950MM from memory we measured), followed by a 7" Body, 950mm long, (These are both "cannon" style but custom made with fibre glass packing)

The rear one we measured we can push out to around 9/10" round without an issue.

There is also room to fit a 5" body stainless packed front muffler before the cat (Like some rotary guys do)

We looked at if need be on my system running the stainless muffler as part of the dump pipe.

There is so much room under a skyline for mufflers, it's awesome.

Lol that badge is awesome!

No new videos or updates yet sorry. Ive been busy working on the race car and my car is on hold at the moment until I work out what I want to do. Im heavily considering twin charging it....Simply for noise reduction and the new challenge.

Ive got a Mr turbo billet turbo at home which we had for the race car at one stage. Its a 900hp T76 somethingarather. So that coupled with the supercharger would make for something interesting surely!

The internal debate in my head is still going.....

Yeh it would have to be low mounted and further back then normal. I havent really done any proper measuring or checking yet. Just looked at it roughly by eye.

If I did do this it means, new custom exhaust manifold, new 4" exhaust, water/oil lines, moving or remaking the catch can, turbo intake, new turbo outlet to charger intake and plumbing up the meth injection system. Plus I gotta redo the supercharger drive system. Im pretty sure the belt is slipping a shit load. Im thinking change to gilmer drive instead of ribbed.

So thats a couple small things to consider!

Yeh it will no doubt add some whine. But aside from going to 8pk belt over the 6pk I have now, there arent too many other belt types and I dont have much room left to go further out for wider belts.

Whats the go joe?

I'd love to see you get the best out of the sc set up before twin charging... After all the work that's gone into it, it would be a shame to not get the best out of it and see where it goes.

Unfortunately nothing has progressed yet. Its been on hold while we are working on the race car. We're not allowed to work on more then one car at a time in the shed. Too easy to get bits n pieces mixed up and there isnt enough room.

I was considering trying to fix up the drive only and see where it goes, however the biggest problem at the moment is still the noise. My honest opinion is that twincharging it will cure that problem, atleast better then somekind of heavy duty airbox and another muffler/resonator or two. I really dont want to pull it all off and then have to do it all again.

Yeh you are right about the exhaust. I do have access to a big one that is probably around that size which is currently on the race car. But its the inlet noise thats number 1 on the list and what im mainly focused on.

The joys of modifications!

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
