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.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
