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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
