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!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
