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.

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.

: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..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
