yes you can

 

rb25des has been done...i have seen pics....

Thanks man, Ive gotso much choice RE what option I take..

R33GTS-T

R34GTS

R33GTS-Supercharged

R32GTST - a bit old..

R32 GTR- If I can get it imported for around $20k I doubt it and they are a bit old..

If you find any Supercharged Skylines post some info and or pictures people.. its a path that isnt looked at often.

it has been discussed many times on the forums, but is rarely done because there was a factory turbocharged option. most people just buy the turbocharged car saving time, money, hassle, and tuning issues

BUT... a supercharged skyline would be a very nice machine and is definately possible to do

Can you.. Supercharge a skyline?

It might sound stupid but ive just gotta know..

I've seen photos of an RB26DETT with a supercharger. The supercharger took care of the lag issue (as you know these puppies don't suffer from lag) in the low end of the RPM range, but cut out when boost came on with the turbos.

Don't ask me what the power figures were as I never found that info out, but it looks and sounds like a nice concept.

apparently the real issue is the fact that a S/C will run out of puff at high RPM

hence the reason they are mainly used on V8s (they dont rev very high)

on a skyline it would be great off the line

but once the revs get up there it will be out of its effiency range.

dude, V8 REV HARD if they are built and balance right, my old 302 windsor reved to 9000rpm!!! swwweeeeetttt sound......

As for superchargers runnign out of puff, what about the drag cars? I know these are 6/71's+ but they work a treat! The biggest dilemma in 'twin charging' is the crossover point f supercharger and turbo charger... the best example is the nissan superturbo march.

the 25/30 shown in the pic above is NOT going to be twincharged, it is simply an SC-14 mounted on a 25/30 combo. i have my doubts about it, but nizmodore is going to find the limits of the little SC-14 on that engine i have no doubt.

i am currently gathering parts to build a twincharge system on my RB30 with an SC-14 and a giant turbo. don't worry about switching between the two compressors or anything, just set it up as a simple blow-through system. here the turbocharger feeds straight into the blower, which is primarily there to increase "off-boost" response (not that there is such a thing with this setup) and spool the turbo up very early. this means you can run a BIG exhuast housing and have a huge stonking top end power figure with solid midrange and low-end torque.

say the blower makes 4psi (as it does at the moment for me) right off idle, you will get massive exhaust gas flow at very low rpm. turbo spools early, and you then simply add the two pressures to get your final boost level. 4psi +10psi = 15psi (the blower gets more efficient as it's intake pressure gets above atmospheric) into the manifold and viola, easy twincharge setup.

fitting it all in and stopping belt slips are the two main challenges. charge cooling is another, but i'm just going to run an intercooler and an aftercooler. water/air and air/air respectively.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
