increased fuel consumption, also using a 1GZE SC is like using a stock trubocharger off a GTSt. Unless u go for a $6000 vortech/eaton centrifugal supercharger (which is like puttin a T88 on ya GTSt) you'll never get optimal results out of a supercharger.

The reason Nissan never came out with em is that in small capacity cars (3.0L and under) its not completely efficient.

if u do consider supercharge

the car will be be more like a 4.0L aussie six

plenty of torque and power, but power wont peak that high in the rev range as our cars currently do.

u can get SC that can rev and stay someone efficient at the higher revs, but it also cost money

not necessarily, those are the oldschool superchargers that work better at higher revs.

If you look at the boost charts, the turbo charger has an exponential boost (very low boost for initial phase and very high boost after the sweet spot). A supercharger however is belt driven, ie constant. It has a linear looking chart, therefore you'd have better midrange boost than a turbo, and much better pickup at the lower end. You do however have to tune it so you don't overboost at higher revs.

eg: say hypothetically your max boost is 14psi

REVS.-> 0 . 1000 ..2000 . 3000 . 4000 . 5000 . 6000 . 7000

SC.....-> 0 ... 1 ...... 4 ...... 6 ...... 8 ..... 10 .... 12 .... 14

TURB.-> 0 ... 0.5 .... 1 ...... 2 ...... 4 ...... 8 ..... 11 .... 14

however true linearity is only achieved by centrifugal superchargers (I think, not sure) and thems the more expensive ones.

Oh and as for the q about the ECU having to be modded... NFI, I gave up and decided to go for a GTR b4 I could investigate it.

there are companies which specialise in superchargers. go through your yellow pages and find one and given them a call and have a chat about your options. i'm sure they will let you know all that you have to do.

SC can't be too bad of an idea if mercedes chooses them over turbo's. also many american professional drag cars use superchargers because of their low-down torque and power.

would be great to see a SC skyline zoom past any gtst and do well against a gtr!

u gotta spend sum serious cash for that. The company I wastaling to was adelaide based, and they specialised in supercharging civics and the like, so I gave em a buzz... think they were working on a supra at the time, either doin a super/turbo twinny or a straight super, sumfin liek that, they were the ones that gave me quotes for manifold fabrication n stuff.

I got their email at home, I'll post it when i get back from work

    • It’s not driver training though, it’s just an online questionnaire and $65 
    • Almost certainly no. In Vic they have this crazily restrictive set of rules for mods that is usually interpreted as "no more than 2 modifications to the intake system". And they're not real hot on upgraded turbos at all, let alone high mounts. That means if you fit a bigger (particularly front mount) intercooler (which is, of course, almost impossible to go without) then you're already down to one other mod allowed. You'll really benefit from hearing from someone from Vic who knows the real state of play. Even better, speak to an automotive mods certifying engineer from Vic. You can actually read the rules from the govco websites yourself, too.
    • Well, I'm not clicking on a link to f**king bookface (never have, never will), so I can't really know what the complaint here is about, but.... There's nothing particularly wrong with forcing people to have a higher license category to drive super/hypercars. Note that the laws are not about modified cars - only listed standard cars, because there are not supposed to be cars modified enough to meet the law's category limits anyway. If you have a modified car that falls into those power limits you're already in trouble anyway. What is wrong is the bullshit on-line "test" to get the upgrade, instead of any actual work and training.
    • Meh Don't have Facebook anymore but watched a YouTube about it, they also talked about them not being able to use and "sports" modes, not really sure how they would enforce that apart from logging the Db for the cars that have exhaust valve activation in sports mode Apart from all the high end sports cars and supercars that make the sort of power they are talking about standard, I cannot see it bothering anyone else, unless of course road side tests now include having a dyno and scales on site to test the power output vs weight What is it? 500hp per ton? And if the only additional cost is $60 or so, as the video stated, I cannot see that being a war stopper for the people that outlay a few hundred thousand dollars on a performance car In fact, I see it would be a ego boost for some, because they have a "special" drivers licence for a "special"person with a "special" car And if I did have a modified car that made over the limit, there's no way in hell I would apply for a "special" licence, I could see the authorities checking your licence against your rego, so if old mate applied for a licence, but owns a, say, R33 Skyline, that may trigger an inspection of said car as to why, and how, that old mate has a R33 that would fit the bill of making over 500hp per ton Again, meh, not something I believe will be a real issue to 99.9% of people
