RCF with HKS Supercharger(s)
Was browsing Minkara for some custom goodies to pair with my HKS Supercharger and stumbled upon this RCF build which I thought was pretty fascinating. Not sure if this has been posted here before, but the owner goes by the name "SkyBlue" with youtube videos under the same username:
Initially I saw that he had installed a custom HKS GT Supercharger here using the HKS GTS8555 turbine:
Then noticed he added a second HKS GTS8555 charger here:

Again, not sure if this has been reposted, but much respect to the owner for the amount of custom fabrication he put forth into this along with the piping of the turbines:
Custom Toda Racing Forged Pistons:
CP Carrillo Custom Forged Rods
Custom J&K Service Camshaft, Cylinder Block Reinforcement and Crankshaft Balance
All managed through what I believe is the first of its kind (I've personally never seen this before) a twin set up of HKS F-Cons that control the car's ignition, timing, tuning, etc. I believe this may be a one-off piece directly from HKS Japan:

The rc-f already has forged internals but lowering the compression is a good idea if you want to turn the boost up. The carrillo rods are much stronger than the oem rods.

Any notice the upper block cylinders being supported. Looks like a closed deck block from the factory. Who wants to bet that would hold 1000whp with decent comp and forged internals with a good tune???

I wouldn't call a bunch of pins inserted between the tops of the cylinders a closed deck. Sure better than nothing, but that's not factory. They'll be heptagons or hexagons with enough pressure. This ain't no 2JZ.

It looks to be a part of the block not just inserted pins. Plus it not being a fully closed deck block think of the cooling capabilities . Imagine a 10.1 comp with twin turbos- 6466 twin scroll in there!!! Can't compare to the 2jz because nobody has yet to push the limits of this motor..

My last built closed deck block the upper block inserts were pressed in. I was over 800whp on e85 before going closed deck block with custom cp pistons... I still may pull the trigger on a used 17 gtr next year, decisions decisions...

yeah, I routinely get GT-R UOA's, typical HP is 1700WHP. lol after a while one thinks about how much money you'd have to spend to go faster and a stock GT-R will still walk on this thing all day, sort of what keeps me from doing the super charger or Novel exhaust. Only thing I will say about the GT-R is that it is much stiffer and very clunky, that trans does not like shifting under 4K.

I have been following this company for a while now. To me its all looks and no go. But I will be the first to admit my mistaken opinion if this setup is proven on a track,dyno etc. But I am not holding my breath. This is the only company out of Japan that I dont feel confident with and I have dealt with a bunch. Looks nice but whats the point if thats all it does?
