Yeah would work, I personally don't like that one myself and I normally use the one below, don't know why just prefer it over many of the others, just remember clean both surfaces well with carby cleaner put a thin bead around the aac valve let it dry for about 15 minutes finger tighten let dry for another 15 minutes then tighten her up.

Just completed this....took a newbie hour and a half. Car is a lot smoother both when accelerating and standing still. Seems to have removed the engine hunting issue.

One thing I did differently was cleaning the insides, spraying wasn't doing much so ended up filling a bowl with the cleaner and letting it sit for 5 minutes. Also the gasket was in pretty decent condition so just used the same one.

Thanks for awesome walk through! :yes:

I've been having a few issues with my car recently in the way thats it seems sluggish and hesitant through the rev range specifically between 2-4k
I recently adjusted my AAC valve before reading this without first unplugging the brown plug (rb20det) could this be a cause to the issue, maybe I adjust it too far or something? Ideas?

Hey All, 

First of all good write up!

Has anyone ever had an issue where they have cleaned their IACV and then put it all back together to have a ticking noise from the IACV? Seems to only be present when revving the car and sometimes at idle. I've made 100% sure it is coming from the IACV by unplugging the brown connector, seems to stop straight away when unplugged. Let me know guys, it's doing my head in.

So I'm stumped... all of a sudden my idle hangs at around 1400rpm for about 30 seconds before it drops to it's set idle of 900rpm, cleaned aac valve and tried adjusting etc etc with no luck, any ideas?

Hi All, 

Per my last post, I think the issue maybe due to frequency setting on my Wolf 3D V4. Did some more searching online last night and read that someone has a similar issue to me but in a Haltech.

Since I don't have the hand controller or the cable to connect to the Wolf, I may have to give it in for a tune. 

I'll update once I have more information.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • 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.
