It could just be me, but why would you run a turbo that small and a supercharger that big, it's back to front.

No idea, but the fact that there's no intercooler just means by the time the already hot air gets to the supercharger and gets even hotter, the turbo will have a nice time...

That engine is going to die so soon.

Its prob running on methanol and has some sort of water injection to compensate for no FMIC.

The turbo is only feeding from 2 cyclinders also so it would be slow to spool up.

That said, they are americans so who know whats they were thinking!!

a few points i noticed:

1. blower looks like an eaton M90 or M112 lysholm type.

2. that's a big enough twin-screw on a little 4cyl honda on its own, let alone twincharging it like that.

3. no aftercooler between the system and the engine = ridiculous intake temps, it must run meth or C16.

4. maybe the turbo has a large a/r exhaust housing, the main reasons to twin charge like this are to spool up a large turbo very quickly, and to keep intake pressures above exhaust back pressure, so the theory is you can run a larger snail for a smaller engine, with no real drawbacks.

all in all, a very strange looking twincharge, but the principles are the same as my setup.

perhaps there's a water/air intercooler between the blower outlet and the inlet ports on the head? they don't have to be large in volume and can be packed with icy water for quick track sprints. i like the remote-drive they set up for the eaton there, very innovative.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
