nice looking curve indeed. for me, i reckon with the track use you give it i wouldn't mind a little more fuel up top. shape of the afr is no problem though, as long as the power curve is good (which it is). the boost curve could be better though. something is not quite right with that.

drop of 2psi on the boost curve

ruler flat boost curve would be nice but not necessary IMO. A drop of 2psi simply means your turbo's not working quite so hard at high RPM and that's where things start to fly apart. It just means you can run 2psi more boost in the midrange!! :D

The boost curve is my fault. I haven't adjusted the actuator enough. I will fix that.

As for more boost. I didn't try it but I doubt the turbo has much left in it so I didn't think to bother giving it a go.

Very nice curve Adam! I think this may have just swayed me to take my car to Unigroup when I get my tuned done. I'm was still deciding between them, Hitman or Powertune.

Do you mind listing what mods you have done to the car?

Rebuilt engine with Wiseco forged pistons and Tomei Type B, 260/260 Poncams. Running 8:75:1 compression ratio.

Blitz LM intercooler

Apexi pod (only because the stock airbox is such a pain to remove and refit all the time, the stock one was no restriction)

Nismo 480cc injectors at an occasional 100%

R34 GTR fuel pump and regulator

GCG highflow turbo

CES split dump/front pipe

Fujitsubo cat back (quiet one)

3" cat in since compliance

Apexi AVC-R

PFC

That's the power mods.

As far as Unigroup are concerned. They really involved me in the process which I liked. Of course you can drop you car off and pick it up 3 days later running perfectly but I like to fiddle and I like to learn. Yavuz (if i spelled his name right) is definitely a perfectionist but he doesn't think you will take his job if he teaches you something. He keeps no secrets.

Excellent, thanks! :D

Hmm I was thinking of going 260 poncams as well but if you're hitting 100% at 272kw I think I should stick to 250 because I've only got 440cc injectors. Thanks for the reminder, I think its just saved me quite abit of money. :D

i'm not sure I can see this direct correlation between cam duration, and injector duty cycle? injector duty cycle is controlled by one thing only. the numbers inputted into the CPU. the size of injectors required is controlled by one relationship only. the amount of air you are stuffing into the engine, vs the air fuel ratio you want to maintain.

lol, so you didn't cave when he told you to wind up the boost some more?

It's times like this i regret getting rid of my highflow and sticking the hks manifold and t300s on. So much work, so little gain....but I still have 2 more rwkw!

hi there just wondering how much did it cost?

cheers

They certainly know their stuff. I really enjoyed this one. I learnt a lot and the car is putting out a little more power, very safely, with nice smooth AFR's.

    • 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?
