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.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
