Team Release

Team “Shake n Bake” can’t wait for Targa 2008!

Thursday 27 March 2008

The social side of Targa almost outweighs the competitive side and as a bit of fun, a group of mates comprising of recent and past Targa competitors have banded together to enter the Targa Teams Section as Team “Shake n Bake”.

In the true spirit of racing these guys are hunting the 1st place 2008 Targa Team Trophy… “because if ya ain’t first, ya last!”

Team members are:

895 Manion/Manion 33GTR V-spec N1 1995

904 Millar/Dean Evo IX GSR 2006

962 Kennard/Grimwood Sti Spec C 2007

979 Wooster/Kulhanek 34GTR V-spec II N1 2001

The laughs and jokes will be put aside at the start of each stage as the crews get down to business.

While the GTRs of father and son crew, Manion/ Manion and newly formed crew of Wooster/ Kulhanek are fighting it out in the Outright Modern competition, the EVO 9 of Millar/ Dean and WRX of Kennard/ Grimwood will be racing for a place in the inaugural Showroom 4WD competition.

You can rest assured that either in competition, at the end of each day and on Sunday afternoon in Hobart, Team “Shake n Bake” will be having fun and enjoying the spirit of Targa Tasmania!

“Shake n Bake baby! Why? Because we like to SHAKE… then BAKE!!!!”

Yay! piss up sunday night it is then

Sounding like a plan :banana:

I sat in the car this morning to check I fit etc and now I'm officially excited.

Only 11 days before we leave for the boat!

So does Team Shake and Bake need a offical photographer for the event ?

Im heading down to cover the event, i think a team shoot on monday would look good ?

    • 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?
