And that setup will support turbos far larger than GTRS's if you get the urge for more :happy:

We want to be the first low-mount GTR into the 9's.

we want to do this on street tyres, synchro gearbox and no NOS for additional "cred"

sure there are easier ways to run fast times eg. big single turbo, dog box, slicks and heaps of gas

but this way the car can still be street driven, not a hassle to drive around town and still have enough down low to do circuit days etc.

LOL...i know that tune :happy:

Its me but with the RB20. Sure there are easier and cheaper ways to go faster....but its your car and you need to do what makes you feel all warm and fuzzy :P

Stace hates big singles, dog boxes, nitrous and slicks.

This may have something to do with it too...lol

MattSR, thanks mate, yeah its bullet proof alright. The limiting factor is definately the turbo's...and the driver

So does this mean Stace will do a 9???? :laugh:

She can do what she likes after she has the baby.

Her goal is a 10...lets see her get that 1st.

What do you think of the spec sheet Jack ?

Nice....All you need now is a car to put it in... ;) PICK ME PICK ME....

Great job and a good street set up...GO TWIN.......

sorry this car is already waiting patiently in line

    • 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.
