Ok, so i installed them tonight

Gripes:

They have no thorough instructions

the ones that are in it, only showed how to remove the old coilpacks, and its not just a reverse installation...

Second

You cant just reinstall them into your old coilpack holders

it doesnt work...at all

you can install one bolt on each one, but when you put them on the car in the holder, its misaligned

so i didnt use it

BUt, when you install them without the holder, they are rather secure

they flop around but dont pull upwards, we shall see how it works out

It helped my idle immensly

its still high, but much more even

i also replaced plugs along with the coilpacks

TOmorrow ill bring it out for a test run before i install the wideband and SAFC2

see if it improved my boost problem at all...

anyways, more to come

the one thing I did notice .. whilst reading the instuctions on how to change the coilpacks

I think the NEO uses a slightly different configuration than the non neo motors.

Looking at the how to article.. it seems that on the non NEO motors.. the coilpacks are grouped in 3 and attached to a plate ( 2 plates for 6 coilpacks ) on the NEO the coilpacks are just held in with 2 screws per coilpack. If you got the right coilpacks for the motor . and they are not a direct fit , I would be complaining or seeking re-embursment.

there is only one set for all years WGNC34

the non neo has the bracket that are grouped in 3

ill make some kind of bracket , not a big deal

just didnt know if it was only me that had that problem or not

maybe i have an odd holder?

i dunno

doesnt work for me...ghey

i cant speak for performance

but it improved my idle alot, its alot more smoothe

im installing my HKS acutator in like 10 minutes nad ill let you know how it performs once i get my boost back.

i think my wastegate is failing

man its going to be a bit of a headf*ck to make the bracket up accurately .

why not just send em back and say they dont fit? will be a lot easier.

from what I could see of the bracket that groups the 3 coil packs together it looks like its

made out of reasonably thick ally plate. Or why not just see if you can get that plate from

a wreakers etc?

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

which is like 250 less than everywhere else

SO...its owrth the hastle, ill just trim off the mounting parts that cover hte larger holes, and get a piece of metal and make like a T with the bolt and metal to hold htem down.

shoudl only take an hour or so

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

try buying your parts thru www.nengun.com (they are in Japan)

They are only $375 USD new for the right ones

I have been called worse haha..

no its just the 1st time doing it .. was just a bit of a pain .. compared to some of the other cars I have worked on . That and the breather hose being rock hard etc etc etc..

but .. got my good 1/4 drive ratchet set.. so those pesky alan keys holding the cover on dont stand a chance now.

plugs are hard to change?

Your crazy for saying that!

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
