I started a thread about this a while back, should still be around, alot of the info you will require is already in it. Tittled "supercharging" (i think, or supercharger or something like that)

Search is your friend :(

Its in the N/A section to

in my humble opinion, supercharging is for cars with enough torque to wind the pulley around with little loss of power, something like a v8 or large 6 cylinder.

Thats just my humble opinion, u do know u can still get lag on a supercharger setup, depends what sort of s/c you put on ... blah blah blah.

Oh and boost is measured differently i think, like 7psi on a turbo is different boost than 7psi on a s/c

boost is always and is measured the same, but a blower doesnt make full boost until it reaches max revs or is wastegated... which apparently doesnt work very well but im going to find out for myself.

That depends on if you're talking about a Roots-type supercharger, or a centrifugal one.

A Roots-type is always at max boost. Driving a car with one just feels like driving a large capacity motor. There's little to no lag on these ones, but because they're "always on" it means you're always boosting. Those ones tend to be measured in litres of air, rather than PSI.

The 4AG and Mercedes ones have a clutch so the SC can be disengaged for fuel economy reasons, but I don't know if you can get that kind of setup in kits.

The centrifugal ones need to build revs (since its basically a turbo compressor, but powered from the crank instead of an exhaust impeller) to generate boost, and those ones have various compromises.

Whats the point of spending soo much money supercharging an N/A when a stock r33 gts-t would still be more powerful...

Ive seen dyno results for a Supercharged N/A. Its just about being different.

NA_R33's case is much different, but for an rb25de, its not worth it.

Have anyone got any pic of their super-charged RB25DE???? :(

i've heard of it being done with mixed results, i have yet to actually see a supercharged rb25de or rb20de. I reckon it'd be faster than a gts-t to a point; it would hit boost sooner. As i understand it a sc would give power linearly and a turbo gives it exponentially.

Depends on the setup and type. A roots type blower will give you a very linear power increase (it'll just feel like a big capacity engine).

With a turbo or centrifugal supercharger its a bit more awkward. If you make the right compressor choice the power delivery can be smooth, but not quite as linear as a roots blower.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
