It could just be me, but why would you run a turbo that small and a supercharger that big, it's back to front.

No idea, but the fact that there's no intercooler just means by the time the already hot air gets to the supercharger and gets even hotter, the turbo will have a nice time...

That engine is going to die so soon.

Its prob running on methanol and has some sort of water injection to compensate for no FMIC.

The turbo is only feeding from 2 cyclinders also so it would be slow to spool up.

That said, they are americans so who know whats they were thinking!!

a few points i noticed:

1. blower looks like an eaton M90 or M112 lysholm type.

2. that's a big enough twin-screw on a little 4cyl honda on its own, let alone twincharging it like that.

3. no aftercooler between the system and the engine = ridiculous intake temps, it must run meth or C16.

4. maybe the turbo has a large a/r exhaust housing, the main reasons to twin charge like this are to spool up a large turbo very quickly, and to keep intake pressures above exhaust back pressure, so the theory is you can run a larger snail for a smaller engine, with no real drawbacks.

all in all, a very strange looking twincharge, but the principles are the same as my setup.

perhaps there's a water/air intercooler between the blower outlet and the inlet ports on the head? they don't have to be large in volume and can be packed with icy water for quick track sprints. i like the remote-drive they set up for the eaton there, very innovative.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
