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

[Merli]

Greddy built I think?

[Slide]

there you go

btw this is my new engine:rofl:

Thanks mate

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

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...

IIRC, that GREDDY one was called a fake when it was originally posted.

Adrian, I wouldnt mind seeing those pics.

Looks stock as a rock.

I am hunting for the pics as we speak.

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

[Dahtone Racing]

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

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.

guys it definitely a photochop, the supercharger is 'welded' onto a silicon joiner piece.......

fake

[GTS_DUY]

maybe not...there are twin intake pipes going into the intercooler

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

[Bass Junky]

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.

Slide, I am not having a go at you. Thanks for the pic.

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..
