This is what the bar now looks like completed with the mesh and indicator lights put in.

Still yet to figure out where the number plate will be going.

Grill is also yet to be done.

The light bulbs have also been changed to those philip white crystal ones.

I can say that it looks way better with these bulbs!

The yellow look in the old bulbs were not all that appealing!

First pic is of the old headlights still in the car.

The 2nd pic is of the philip crystal headlights I put.

  • 2 weeks later...

When it starts to go down towards the down on the graph, those are the injectors maxing out.

New injectors should be here tomorrow or Friday the latest.

Injectors & new coilpack goes in this wknd (i'm hoping).

Next wknd, oil cooler and oil filter relocator goes in next wknd.

Then, after all that, come Wednesday the car goes back on the road and in for a tune up with the new stuff being added to it.

Possibly 2wks after being back on the road, new adjustable cams will be going on. Once these go on, the aim is for 270kw's!!!!!

What oil cooler kit did you get...I am lookng at one but im not overly keen on the prices!! And apparently the just jap ones leak! May I ask (Genuine question not hasseling you) why did you get the car tuned...then order parts..then get it tuned again in the space of a month??? All mine is going on in one go to save on tuning! Best of luck with acheiving you goal power figure

I didnt think I would of required a oil cooler kit. After asking dan about it this morning by SMS, he recommended that I should get one.

One I'm looking at is the one from the business trader section in the 'for sale' area the gr33dy guy is selling. It's $340. I dont know much about these oil kits except for whats advertised. Unless anyone else knows anythin about them, information would be great.

Reason for the tune a few weeks ago was that I was wanting to see how much power I could get out of it all with just what had been done. I did not expect the injectors to be maxed out to 100% but, they did to which Nick at Brisbane Tuning recommended that I upgrade to a set of injectors between 550cc to 650cc. Nothing more otherwise i'll see alot of lag.

With the new injectors, coilpack and oil cooler kit going in, this will only take upto an hour Nick said where as, the last tune I had took up to 3 & half hrs.

So, with the price Brisbane tuning are charging me, I'm not going to complain about goin back just for an hour to tune the car again. Well worth it in the end.

233rwkw is still a nice figure...but with your turbo where can you go boost wise now?? isnt 17-18psi

right at the limit for a highflow?

Nick said that i can get it upto 20PSI and around 260-270kw's on a standard rebuilt, high-flowed turbo.

that 238kw's i mention was from the first run I got after the tune was completed. Computer crashed at the time and wasnt able to save it, so when we did the 2nd run, we got 233kw's.

Looks like she's coming together nicely dude. Might be time to start thinking about internals (and a bigger turbo :O ), particularly if you're going to keep looking for more power, would hate to see all this hard work and such a nice car go bang prematurely.

One thing that I'm curious about though, and I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but if 21/22psi is "on the edge" of the turbo's ability, is 20psi on the downward curve of its efficiency range?

That i'm not to sure about. Nick just stated that I can get 20psi out of a standard high flow turbo without busting anything internally or breaking anything at all.

However, to get the 20psi, the injectors would need upgrading which they should be arriving tomorrow or friday.

There will be plans to upgrade the turbo sometime later on into the year towards the end. Just got to get use to the power I have now.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
