Has anyone got that photo of the supercharged twin turbo RB26?

hey adrian, how does it go? it just looks stock from the outside yeh?  i heard of it but never actually knew which one it was, maybe i seen it before...

ben...

Looks stock as a rock.

I am hunting for the pics as we speak.

just because it might not work doesnt mean its a photochop.

they could have built it just as a show peice its not in a car

oh and btw its a Blitz job

the turbos are KKK ones

the above picture is definately a photochopped fake. think about the pressurised flow direction through the turbos and blower. it simply would not work.

explain why and you may be forgiven.

it is not a photo chop to my knowlegde and i dont know if it was built to work or not the question of the thread was (Has anyone got that photo of the supercharged twin turbo RB26?) so i delivered.

There is a dark grey R32 GTR (RB26DETTS) in the gong.  I have photos of the engine bay somewhere if you like.

No 5hit!

I seen this guy out my way heaps , even last night, pulled up next to him @ the servo... & u would never think his car is tts? is it..

i was going to talk to him, but he looked real cranky or grumpy, plus he was leaving anyways, maybe next time..

i was in my commo, but few weeks ago, i tried giving him a run, & nothin, i just left him! ? He gave it a bit, but nothing noticeable, & quiet as a mouse!

there are two inlets to the intercooler, one from each turbo. (duh?)

if the blower outlet joined into the two turbo outlets as it appears to, then as soon as the turbo outlet pressure got above the blower's outlet pressure it would try to reverse the direction of the vanes and most likely destroy the blower. certainly it would destroy it if the pressure difference was large, as it most likely would be with turbos of that size. unless there is some extremely tricky pressure switching device under the piping somewhere which is used to switch from blower to turbo only at a certain boost level then it's definately fake. it simply wouldn't work.

there does not appear to be any room for such a device in the picture. also the turbo outlet pipes would have to be pressure equalised somewhere before the solenoid switch, there is no evidence of that either.

If it is real, then it would only be for display purposes, as it will not function for a number of reasons, most of which have been given by StockyMcStock. I would think that a teeth belt-driven pulley arrangement would be used, not a v-belt one.

i never said it ran nor did i say it ever had i just provided a picture.:slap:

why doesnt anybody else look for it

There have been plenty of engines which have been turbo charged and supercharged.

I remember reading about a Corolla a few years back like this.

The Supercharger is probably on a clutch arrangement on the front pulley, and being screw type, would be able to be closed when the rotors aren't spinning.

NXTIME :) its all good

:werd:

there is also the factory built Nissan March Super Turbo

Issue number 48 of HPI explaines how they use a butterfly valve to block one side so it runs kind of sequential. at different stages its an alright read but you cant really see where the pipes go and if they join up from the pic..

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.

      The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.

      And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4

      One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
