Supercharged

[Rolls]

Has anyone here done a proper supercharger conversion to their RB motor, I'm not talking about a cheap SC14 backyard job but a proper supercharger, much like the sort you see on those silly v8s putting 500hp out not even trying.

I mean for people trying to make massive power eg above 500hp would this not be a viable option? as you are going to start encountering decent lag even with an rb30det surely a supercharger would overcome this problem, maybe be a bit more expensive but alot more driveable and would sound infintely better.

Just curious as I dont think I've ever seen it happen before.

Funny you should say that....I know a very knowledgeble guy in Perth who is slowly putting an optcon blower on an RB. No completion date but it will be for towing a race car so we probably wont see its true potential

The bloke who machined and assembled my RB30DET was building up another RB30DET at home for a mate of his. Its been some time but I think he was going to run a whipple type supercharger.

Never heard what happened to the project.

i know a guy who is going the whipple route on his GTR engine. whether or not he gets off his ass and finishes it any time in the next 5 years is anybody's guess.

the only blower to use would be the whipple 2600 or 3300 (or Opcon if you have the money) as running a centrifugal would be pretty much like running a turbo.

p.s. i hope you read this tony

twincharge it would be cool

Seen a Rb30 in a LJ Torana with a screw style charger hanging out of the bonnet at summer nats last year.
