saw it at autosalon yesterday, was a series 2 r33 with the plates PUNKD(i think there is meant to b a pun in there), and inside the engine bay there was a Phat Eaton(i think) positive displacement supercharger, no turbo to b found. my guess is it was originally NA and he made the switch to blow it, pretty unique i think.

it was messed up graphically... it had robotech side graphics and a big arse transformers autobots sign on the front... and also the word transformer somthing on the side next to veritech fighter off robotech... very bad mistake if you're a robotech or transformer fan (both of which I am).

The supercharger amazed the f**k thru me, but I could never find the owner around the car to drill him for questions... I've got pics of that engine setup from every angle so I should be able to find out who made it (and possibly get a replica) :)

Eaton supercharger. Maybe ask an eaton s/c dealer in victoria.

I was almost hoping there was a turbo underneath the manifod, but sadly none, just pipe leading straight to exhaust :)

I'd imagine it should be near to stock RB25DET output power with fatter down low torque curve, as most s/c are low boost induction around 6-7psi and works well at lower rev range.

I suppose ECU should have been changed as well. I was here today and seen no one standing by to be asked some questions too. Oh well... leave us wondering.....

Then could it be an RB25DET with turbo replaced with the super charger. Considering both stock boost and supercharger is the same, engine and ecu could cope with it. The only difference is that you get instant boost right from idle. No lag.

well theoretically a Supercharger is a non invasive upgrade, ie it does not require that you modify any internals, or exhaust system. you don't neeed new headers.

So realistically for an N/A its pretty cheap alternative.

Ive seen him run at sat nigh church. Nothing special, keeps up with most other cars it ran.

and yes wtf is with mixing the robotech veritech with fuggin autobot tranformer emblem? oooh he should be shot (im a robotech transformer fan of ye OLde)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
