hey all id probably never do this myself oh what am I saying if I had the cash to just throw around I would haha

im making this to discuse the twin charged engines, I saw a few pics and vids the other day of a vn commy with both a supercharger and turbo charger and thought it looked and sounded mean along with the fact it left anything behind it in a trail of smoke.

a rough idea of how it works was the supercharger kicked in at low rpm then in high revs after spooling up the turbo kicked in and took over.

what are your opinions on a setup like this? do you think it would be possible to do to a rb engine??

I like the idea but can think of many many things that could go wrong and even destroy the engine but what are your opinions? would you ever do this if you could afford to? cmon guys lets get the ball rolling I cant wait to read different opinions on this.

EDIT::- found the vn on facebook and its running a rb30 when I figure out how to post pics il put one up of the engine

Yuh, Stocky built the RB30 twin cam twin charged. That 30 is quite possibly the one in the VN seeing as he was trying to sell the driveline from the VL quite a while back.

There is no such thing as "kicks in" and "takes over". There's nothing sequential about these systems. They are just two compressors in series giving you the ability to work around a few problems that superchargers have and a few problems that turbos have in a way that covers up pretty much all the problems.

The only problem becomes fitting it all in.

Youtube search "Lancia Delta Integrale S4 Bergrennen"

and similar with "Toivonen Integrale S4"

besides the performance, check how they fitted all the mechanicals.

That work was done with the resources of a factory and a big testing schedule.

I'm talking about a VW Polo GTI here, 1.4L twin charged.

Still does 6L/100km when you baby it or go on the highway. Even driving spirited every now and then it still uses far less fuel then mine. Its nice to drive, but I'd rather drive my car most days. It's just nice to have the DSG in auto and cruise around when I'm lazy to play with button clutches etc.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
