has anyone ever sucessfully supercharged an rb20? i just got a hell of a deal on a vortech v4 supercharger and since im planning on building the blown motor im replacing over the winter i thought id see if it was feaseable and would it be worth the time. any thoughts and or ideas are more than welcome.

I don't know of anyone who has done it.. but rest assured it has been done.

Feasible? Yeah. Anything is possible with money.

I wouldn't do it unless you just want to prove a point etc.. its not the cheapest and most logical way to do it. How big is it? Where will you fit it?

I was going to get a FREE Lyschom supercharger, but when I figured out how much $$$ the Billet bracket would cost me I left it alone.

To me it wasn't worth the trouble.If I were you I would sell that blower.And just spend that $$ on a nice turbo.

I mean if you had the $$ to spend.What would be cool to see is a twin charged rb20.A small to decent sized superchager for low to mid then a large turbo for up top.Do the valvetrain so you can rev her up higher.

But the only problem with that is getting that x-over correctly mapped out and the valving.

Big HP without lag. nicee.........

well i know for a fact that this sc will provide more than enough air to the engine, its rated at a max of 1600 cfm and 30 psi , and as for the brackets a friend of mine has a machine shop and is willing to make custom brackets just for the fact he has never seen a rb20deR.by the way just in case anyone is wondering i picked up the sc for just shy of $600. i think it will be a great project and it will give me something to do over the winter. ive already purchased new internals, gaskets, and most of the valvetrain as i was going to rebuild the engine anyway so why not go all out?

sounds like you're pretty set in your head. Do it up and post pics!

F4ckin do it!

I think it would be awesome to hear the same sound that comes from a Terminator come from an RB and hear the RB exhaust note at the same time.

THe exhaust note of a s/c car is generally way awesome since the turbo isn't corking up the exhaust note!!

DOOO EEET

well as it stands now im gonna set it up to get 8:1 compression so i can really throw the boost to it. gonna shoot to completely max out the sc cuz iv never seen a rb20 with anywhere near that much boost.
