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

    • Unfortunately,  it feels like it's been on the decline for nearly a decade. Especially as wallet racing became popular with them(biggest wallet can pay off a car that wins). It seems like a different mindset kf ownership these days. But, hopefully people like yourself keep some of the skyline scene alive.
    • A bit of data is always good, beats the Facebook experts with their opinions Although the kWs aren't anywhere near what you are after, it should give you a good indication. I have Bosch 1480cc injectors, often called 1650cc (only when run at 4bar). I run mine at 3bar base so I don't thrash the fuel system. Up top, making 437kW with boost dropping, injector duty is at 69% on E80 (might have had some residual 98RON in there)  
    • I have some downtime due to winter, and just wrapped up converting the car over to flex fuel. We don't get E85 at the pump over here in Canada, but I will be running Ignite E90 Race gas. I'll be mixing it with 99-100 RON pump gas and shoot for 50% ethanol content, up to possibly 85% content if there's any noticeable gains. Here's the question. Most I'll ever want to hit is ~600rwkW. I've currently running 1200cc injectors and want to keep them under 90% duty cycle. As per some online injector calculators, I should be good with 1200's well past 600rwkw on E85. As per other calculators, I'll need 1600-2000cc's. The variety is rather amusing.  With you Australians having E85 at the pump, what realistic duty cycles are you seeing in those kW ranges on E50 & E85 on your injectors? Thanks, 
    • No issues here with my PRP gears in an OEM pump housing. I did confirm all housing clearances were to spec prior though. Cheers. 
    • Thread is a bit old but figured id give my input anyway just incase. Have had lots of water problems in my R32 and was getting sick of wet tools in the boot and water filling up half my taillights. I ended up finding that whenever my car had been repainted they didn't reseal the taillights to the body of the car so water was just flowing straight into the boot, this is amplified by all the water around the bootlid being directed down to the taillights so would get pretty wet whenever I washed the car or it rained. You could probably use silicone to seal them to the body but I think from factory they use a roll of automotive grade butyl rubber. Hopefully this helps you if that ends up being how the water is getting in on your car!
