just because it might not work doesnt mean its a photochop.

they could have built it just as a show peice its not in a car

oh and btw its a Blitz job

the turbos are KKK ones

the above picture is definately a photochopped fake. think about the pressurised flow direction through the turbos and blower. it simply would not work.

explain why and you may be forgiven.

it is not a photo chop to my knowlegde and i dont know if it was built to work or not the question of the thread was (Has anyone got that photo of the supercharged twin turbo RB26?) so i delivered.

There is a dark grey R32 GTR (RB26DETTS) in the gong.  I have photos of the engine bay somewhere if you like.

No 5hit!

I seen this guy out my way heaps , even last night, pulled up next to him @ the servo... & u would never think his car is tts? is it..

i was going to talk to him, but he looked real cranky or grumpy, plus he was leaving anyways, maybe next time..

i was in my commo, but few weeks ago, i tried giving him a run, & nothin, i just left him! ? He gave it a bit, but nothing noticeable, & quiet as a mouse!

there are two inlets to the intercooler, one from each turbo. (duh?)

if the blower outlet joined into the two turbo outlets as it appears to, then as soon as the turbo outlet pressure got above the blower's outlet pressure it would try to reverse the direction of the vanes and most likely destroy the blower. certainly it would destroy it if the pressure difference was large, as it most likely would be with turbos of that size. unless there is some extremely tricky pressure switching device under the piping somewhere which is used to switch from blower to turbo only at a certain boost level then it's definately fake. it simply wouldn't work.

there does not appear to be any room for such a device in the picture. also the turbo outlet pipes would have to be pressure equalised somewhere before the solenoid switch, there is no evidence of that either.

If it is real, then it would only be for display purposes, as it will not function for a number of reasons, most of which have been given by StockyMcStock. I would think that a teeth belt-driven pulley arrangement would be used, not a v-belt one.

There have been plenty of engines which have been turbo charged and supercharged.

I remember reading about a Corolla a few years back like this.

The Supercharger is probably on a clutch arrangement on the front pulley, and being screw type, would be able to be closed when the rotors aren't spinning.

:werd:

there is also the factory built Nissan March Super Turbo

Issue number 48 of HPI explaines how they use a butterfly valve to block one side so it runs kind of sequential. at different stages its an alright read but you cant really see where the pipes go and if they join up from the pic..

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
