There are no kits available. It has to be all custom fabricated and setup. Its not a popular or simple setup either. Parts are expensive and the system takes up alot of room.

At a guess if a workshop was to do it all, I would estimate 20-25K would pull up alot of the parts and labour including fabrication and machine work. But that wouldnt be including alot of the support systems needed.

Expensive to do, but the results are well worth it from what ive seen.

yeah it can be done, but expensive and lots of custom fabrication

you also have choice of what goes first, turbo or super into the intake

i think stockymystock has a rb30 twin charged, turbo and super from memory

from memory on his he had the super going into the intake after the turbo

so when on take off the supercharger would suck through the turbo winding it up quicker

intake -> turbo -> super -> plenum - i think stockymystock had this (macgyver is his user icon on here)

or

intake -> super -> turbo -> plenum

Yeh thats how his was setup.

Worked very well! The power delivery was insane. No lag and power all throughout the rev range. I was fortunate enough to have been taken for a spin in it!

His car is what initially got me thinking about supercharging and twincharging.

the key thing though, he did it all himself :D

paying workshop rates for that, forget it.

Exactly! Hence why my rough guess was 20-25 grand. Ive done the suprcharging half of my own car and its cost me about 10 grand so far in parts, though some of it was support system bits. I would guess probably 6-7grand for supercharger related bits, maybe abit more.

I just have to do the turbo side of it now, which looks to cost maybe a couple grand more. But so far ive done everything myself and thats what has kept the cost reasonable.

If a workshop is doing the job and the word custom & fabricate are used in the same sentence, its going to cost you.

A workshop that has the machinery to do it in house, probably a month or so. A workshop that would outsource the work they cant do themselves, many months. It takes time to measure, design and test fit, modify and refit then finish to be ready for final assembly. That would be working on it almost everyday too.

    • 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.
