there are a few R31's that are super charged, can pull about 130 kws with about 10 psi (correct me if im wrong)

Thats funny. :D

Drop a RB25 head on a RB30 with a set of rb25 pistons to bring the comp up to 10.5:1 and you see that kind of power. :)

twin turbo supercharged..

now thats nice.

there are massive advantages of a setup up like this.

you can use a spuercharger for all the downlow boost. and have either one or two massive snails to finish off the job, if i had the money and time i would try and do something similar..

here's a photo..

i havnt really found any info on this motor ever tho.. if anyone could help??

I know why they call supercharges parasites.

 

Checking out one of the whipple flow maps I noticed to flow 500-600cfm it sucks around 40hp.

Yes, but, with a turbo you are also losing a lot of power due to the extremely high exhaust backpressure (usually a little higher than the boost pressure).

Where's Warpspeed when you need him.

I went throught the supercharging thing on in line 6 cylinder engines back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Admitedly that was on Holden Red motors. I really carnt see why it carnt be done now even better with the multi valve twin cam engines of today.

Considering my motor was making 497hp and 523lbs/ft of torque on pump gas and even more on alcohol !

I know nissan made a car (cant remember which one - one of those small cc jap race cars) that had both a supercharger and a turbo on it. The supercharger would give it the botton end power then as the revs rose and the turbo came onto boost it would change over to the turbo.

A supercharger has all of the advantages that a Tubro has as disadvantages(ie good at the bottom, running out of puff at the top, no lag, turbo has no reall loss of power at the bottom end, but the supercharger takes power from the bottom end of the rev range)

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
