Supercharged RB?

[MadmikeX3]

Ok ive already searched far and near and high and low and was wondering if anyone has Supercharged a RB series motor? Im wondering what benefits could it reap if any? I know i know you turbo guy are like WTF is he thinking just turbo it thats all you need. But I just want a lil different RB to drop in my 240 vert.

At some point I have seen SCed RBs SRs and CAs. In the end the only thing they offer is freak factor. The builders start out with high hopes, there are initial oohs and aahs but as the honeymoon wears off and they try to pull serious power out of it they discover it just doesn't perform as well as a properly selected turbo system in any respect.I'm not saying don't do it just don't think you have found a secret source of more power. If you are going to do it, IMO, steer away from those cutesy little blowers you see in the kits and go grab a huge doomsday centifigal blower like the late model V8 guys use. I have never seen one of those on an import and they are proven to push stupid amounts of air if you can spin them. Maybe the reason the blown Nissans are always a failure is the blower they have used. I doubt turbo cars would be impressive if everyone was using stock turbos.

I was kinda going for the freak factor yes. but was not going for performance. Maybe some but no crazy massive amounts. Even if I did decide to go through with it it would be just a middle class sized vortec or something.

if you want freaky with just a little power go high compression NA with ITBs. Less work and the sound of something like that will give you a boner.

How about a twincharged 30?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...arch=

Throw something like this in there..

[MadmikeX3]

WOW!!!!1 I wish i could!!! But im thinking about the RB 30 swap becuase my vert will be a VIP car so it needs that VIP apeal ya know. Ive read about how to do the 30 swap but dont quite know how to do the small things you need to do to get it to work. There is a guy here http://www.carolinanissans.com...13769 Selling some RB 30 blocks If I was back in the states i might just pick one up and get started.

[DanCouga]

Holy crap! For that price, he can keep them.

In my advice, never NEVER do an RB30 if you live in the states. Unless you have a lot of patience, storage space and time.

[MadmikeX3]

Yeah I live in the states(Stationed in South Korea right now) and i hope ill have some time when i get back. What should I expect to shell out to do a swap and get running with little or no performance parts?

[themadscientist]

boring. 300hp is easy. even on an RB20.

No No shell out as in meaning of terms of money. How much does the typical 30 swap cost with all stock parts.

[themadscientist]

there is no such thing as a "typical RB30 swap". There is no such engine as an RB30DET. There are RB30E and RB30ET engines that have been modified with a DOHC head swap and altered timing belt arrangement with a custom length belt. If you want an RB just getting and firing up a regular RB will be trouble enough, don't make your life harder trying to source an aussie engine.

I knew there was no actual RB30DET i knew it was a Frankenstein. thanks for all the info and opinions i think now im just going o do a RB26DET swap and call it a day.

[themadscientist]

No i Said RB26DE T

[themadscientist]

RB26s are twin turbo. RB26DETT. I guess if you went big single you could say it was an RB26DET.

[MadmikeX3]

Thats what I was referring too was going to a Single Turbo Setup. Thanx

[themadscientist]

that will save you a lot of headaches going big single.
