I've seen it done on a RB a couple of years ago, personally i dont know why you would bother with a RB, for the money it would cost, you can get greater gains for less money with a good turbocharger setup. It is different however and pretty cool to see people doing something a little bit different.

i think when i look up supercharging on a skyline and read into it - it comes out expensive and lots of custom work

if you are a fabricator / mechanic then i think its fine - but for your average dude who just wants a bolt on kit turbo is easier and better $ for kw etc

yehi was thinking maybe turbo and supercharged, like some rallycars, my engine is already turboed and rebuilt but yeh i was thinkn to do something a little bit diffrent

Ah ok. Yeah a twin charged setup would be a good setup however extremely expensive to do and set up correctly. Would be interesting to find out how much something like that would cost. Has anyone in Aus ever twin charged a RB25?

not a 25 but a 26, I have seen it in person and what a monster. Now this motor is in a R32 GTR cant wait to see a run on the track with that.

I dont think its fake it is in the same spot as the one in town and just has dual turbos. They created less lag but rob your top end

Not true...kind off. If those superchargers are twin screw, then they will not limit the top end power at all.

As for the pic, its been discussed before, and that particular thread came to a conclusion that it IS fake. Fake or not, its crap coz there is not way you can fit all that in a skyline engine bay :D.

ask stocky, from memory he said it wasnt worth it. its alot of time and effort for not much results, just get a correctly sized turbo, and with the leftover cash go RB30DET

that pic of the twin charge kit isnt fake either, i thought it was at first too because the pipin looks dodge, but i've got a pic of it from another angle, and from what i can tell its real

the only thing with that is with the way the piping is (from what i can see) the system wouldnt work, as they are booth running in parallel not series, and there doesnt seem to be any sort of valving in line either, think they just threw it together to try and look good lol

i love suprechargers, they are a great upgrade on an NA engine.. hell i would love to put one on my V35. a guy on WA had one on his V35 before he sold it..

but for an engine that already comes out turbocharged, like the rb, it just seems silly to bother going with the R&D of a supercharger when you can just bolt up a different turbo if you're not happy with power. that alone is reason enough not to bother in my eyes

Very well said. Pretty much sums it off perfectly.

    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
    • At 30cm long, you only need 80lbs... Which isn't hard to put that much weight in. Just start to stand on it, but not full force. Even a light weight size 6 lady can do it. If I stood on, I'd get them to about 190ft-lb... And all Id need to do is... Stand...
