Supercharged skylines

[AR93NT]

Has anyone heard of ppl supercharging skylines?

Are there many, if any of em out there?

What is the advantage if such exists?

...Just curious thats all.

[jacko]

I though about doin this just for something different! I would also be interested in hearing if anyone has done this before!

[seraphyn_r33]

less lag?? maybe less power?? but im guessing it would be a lot more expensive to supercharge the rb25 then go the conventional turbo route

[Gus-]

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

[LBR33]

That just seems wrong very very wrong.

[gaki]

That is so wrong.

It's definitly not going to give you much more power than stock N/A, and definitly way less then turbo charged.

Unless you spent big bucks on a decent supercharger (whipple twinscrew) I really don't think it is worth it.

Those little airpumps that hang off the side of the motor are gay & lack efficiency at the top end.

Thats funny.

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.

There was a Supercharged RB25 in the Melbourne Auto Salon.

HKS do a supercharger kit for the V35.

I am looking at this combo in the next 6 months.

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.

rb26dettr

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??

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.

What power does that RB26DETTR make?

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 !

[Guest Mashrock]

twin charging anything is always going to be good.

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)
