Dear all,

As today is the last day on the job, I won't have as much internet access to SAU....well at least until I start my next job :w00t: So I figure this is the best time to write this.

I just wanted to say goodbye to everyone I have met here in WA through SAUWA. Ever since I arrived in Jan '06 and went on my first cruise you guys have welcomed me and my family with open arms :laugh:.

Also I'd like to thank the committee.....you guys make the club what it is today and I can only see it going from strength to strength in the future. SAUWA members please don't forget that the club is here to run events for you, so if you have any suggestions for events etc don't be afraid to approach a member of the committee and make a suggestion! :mad:

Anyway those of you who are about to break out the moet to celebrate the departure of a mexican back to the east ;) don't do so just yet :( The job I am working on in Melbourne is actually a WA job and I will have to make site visits, so I will be back lol! Also I will drop by the WA section of the forums when I can to catch up with you all.

Until I see you all again, safe (but fun :() driving

cya,

Ant.

Bye Ant, It's been great meeting you, and we really appreciate your input into the SAUWA Committee.

Pass on our love to Nat and Zak, and make sure you let us know when your coming back to WA, as I'll put the passenger seat back in mine to take you for a spin :(

    • 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 👌
