This goes against convential thinking...but...

an incorrectly matched cam and turbo package can make or break a build.

this was a laggy set-up till slightly bigger camshafts were installed

around 300 more KW at 150kph...wow

what tha?

you said 300 more rwkws over what it had before the cams? Am i understanding this correctly?

If so...goddamn!

well yeah previously at 150km/h (5357rpm) it was making 150rwkw

now its making at 150km/h (5357rpm) its making 450rwkw

Thats AWKW this a 4 wheel dyno...but yes r33 racer you are understanding correctly. (you can pick your jaw up off the floor now...lol)

Paul its a single retarder DD dyno...it ramps and reads more accurate in shoot8 with big hp cars. we have proven its accuracy to within 1kw at Autosalon (dynolog) on consectutive days.

that could also be PARTLY due to the RPM at which the run was begun. if you have the car idling in 4th on the dyno and put your foot down to log the run, it will reach full boost sooner than if you start at 3000rpm and put your foot down.

just a thought - the first run starts at 90km/h and the 2nd starts at 60km/h or so.

the cams certainly did make a large difference though, i'm not detracting from the gains which you have found. the difference is quite marked. it is one of those "all or nothing" power curves in which camshaft selection is critical as well.

top stuff.

hmmm, interested in these mystery cams is me ehehe.

Dave all i can say is one step larger in lift and one step larger in duration (inlet cam was two steps in duration) as they were different but now equal. Cams are off the shelf items of Japanese origin.

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
