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?

and the site with the build

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.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
