yeah im thinking i want to do the same

anyone have a R33 stock air box would like to swap for pod filter

PM me will put up in the wanted section later

I believe so! I've got a HKS pod under it. Its only there to appear stock ... so is the rest of the work to the bay. Got to keep it looking stock as a bone :)

I'm also replacing my plugs and ensuring the gap is 0.8mm.

Mmmmm ... coilpacks :D

With coppers. Best/cheapest place to grab them is Motor Traders at around $2.85 per plug. Else where pay the usual $4.40 per plug. Which really isn't that much anyway.

RB20/25/26

BCPR6E for stock power to around 250-300rwkw. 0.8mm pregapped.

BKR7E-11 for powers 250rwkw+. 1.1mm pregapped need to gap down to 0.6-0.8mm depending on boost.

The two above plugs are the v-groove type.

I find they last a good 20,000km's. By 30,000km's they are beginning to look quite rounded. :)

I run the BKR7E's have absolutely no issues with fouling. At 268rwkw the BCPR6E's were coming out a looking a little hot, the BKR7E's heat range is spot on and look nicely tanned.

If you have issues with fouling the car is running way too rich and really should be sorted.

doing some window shopping :)

one needs a bit of an engine bay clean up but is cheap!

ok i took my coilpack cover off....

started the car waited 20mins or so to hit full operating temp...

nothing...

so i drove it and still NOTHING

so i have come to the conclusion that it may be getting hot under the cover at full opp temp?

i guess i drive it with the cover off till my spitfires arrive.. is it ok to leave the cover off??

and i correct in saying that this was prob the problem?

cheers

no, 120 the set, Simon32 says just get copper there fine you just may need to replace them sooner

iridiums are meant to last longer thats why there dearer oh and there made of iridium i guess

blow me down! i just ripped one out and its ngk irridum.. looks fairly clean and its gapped to 1.0 or something, will close them all down to 0.7 and see how i go.

    • 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.
