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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
