yes you can

 

rb25des has been done...i have seen pics....

Thanks man, Ive gotso much choice RE what option I take..

R33GTS-T

R34GTS

R33GTS-Supercharged

R32GTST - a bit old..

R32 GTR- If I can get it imported for around $20k I doubt it and they are a bit old..

If you find any Supercharged Skylines post some info and or pictures people.. its a path that isnt looked at often.

it has been discussed many times on the forums, but is rarely done because there was a factory turbocharged option. most people just buy the turbocharged car saving time, money, hassle, and tuning issues

BUT... a supercharged skyline would be a very nice machine and is definately possible to do

Can you.. Supercharge a skyline?

It might sound stupid but ive just gotta know..

I've seen photos of an RB26DETT with a supercharger. The supercharger took care of the lag issue (as you know these puppies don't suffer from lag) in the low end of the RPM range, but cut out when boost came on with the turbos.

Don't ask me what the power figures were as I never found that info out, but it looks and sounds like a nice concept.

apparently the real issue is the fact that a S/C will run out of puff at high RPM

hence the reason they are mainly used on V8s (they dont rev very high)

on a skyline it would be great off the line

but once the revs get up there it will be out of its effiency range.

dude, V8 REV HARD if they are built and balance right, my old 302 windsor reved to 9000rpm!!! swwweeeeetttt sound......

As for superchargers runnign out of puff, what about the drag cars? I know these are 6/71's+ but they work a treat! The biggest dilemma in 'twin charging' is the crossover point f supercharger and turbo charger... the best example is the nissan superturbo march.

the 25/30 shown in the pic above is NOT going to be twincharged, it is simply an SC-14 mounted on a 25/30 combo. i have my doubts about it, but nizmodore is going to find the limits of the little SC-14 on that engine i have no doubt.

i am currently gathering parts to build a twincharge system on my RB30 with an SC-14 and a giant turbo. don't worry about switching between the two compressors or anything, just set it up as a simple blow-through system. here the turbocharger feeds straight into the blower, which is primarily there to increase "off-boost" response (not that there is such a thing with this setup) and spool the turbo up very early. this means you can run a BIG exhuast housing and have a huge stonking top end power figure with solid midrange and low-end torque.

say the blower makes 4psi (as it does at the moment for me) right off idle, you will get massive exhaust gas flow at very low rpm. turbo spools early, and you then simply add the two pressures to get your final boost level. 4psi +10psi = 15psi (the blower gets more efficient as it's intake pressure gets above atmospheric) into the manifold and viola, easy twincharge setup.

fitting it all in and stopping belt slips are the two main challenges. charge cooling is another, but i'm just going to run an intercooler and an aftercooler. water/air and air/air respectively.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
