Is it possible to supercharge my r33 non-turbo?

Question

how much would it cost?

would it be faster than a stock r33 turbo?

Answer 1

yes, but not really worth it without internal engine work.  it will have too much compression for forced induction, so you'd need lower compression pistons.  it would be pricey and quicker than turbo.

it would probably be cheaper to get a gtr (twin turbo) half cut.

Answer 2

just upgrade your cars ignition system, increasing an engines Horsepower,when properly done,an ignition upgrade also give you better gas mileage and cleaner emission.increased gas mileage would be as welcome as the extra HORSEPOWER. MSD 6 amp.  box is a multiple spark discharge.a similar to the daily drivers many of you at home baselined the swinger at Raceway park  

Answer 3

it is totally possible. I don;t know if it would be any faster then the turbo, but it might with the right supercharger.prices seem to run around $3,000 to $4,000. turbo kits run from 1800 to 2500 and will give you 400-750HP. go with the turbo kit is my recommendation. try zune motorsports website.

Answer 4

R33 was designed with a turbocharger in mind. A supercharger forces more air into the combustion chamber than with normal operation, which means increased pressure. The Skyline series was designed for a turbo "modus operandi" which involves the compressor being powered by the turbine that is powered by the exhaust gases of the engine.

So while it is possible to do almost anything with your car, it'd be a lot cheaper for you to turbocharge it instead of having the other method of forced induction. The reason for this being that a turbocharger was in mind when this car was in design.

I hope this helps,

Answer 5

Yes

Too much to justify

Depending on boost levels, if stock is say 5-10lbs and you make 30lbs supercharged you should be going faster. However no matter what turbo is better because you aren't compressing the air using engine power you are compressing it using wasted exhaust gases so you end up with more power to the wheels.
