^^^ exactly....

you know, i think i know where it come from.

the "stealth" wing as you call it resembles the stereo typical ducks tail. how it bobs up at the end.

hence D-tail or D-Wing. they were common on old style muscle cars ie early corvettes, old mustangs, etc.

so all the ricers these days see "D-wing" and because anything these days that has a capitial D means drift (initial D, D1, etc etc) they see it as drift wing.

there, thats how

:banana:;)

Wow perfect explanation :happy:

My apologies to everyone about the miss use of the term "drift-wing", specially to DRD-00F. ;)

Well everything was invented in Japan so actually to be correct it is called a chibi hane

http://search1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/sea...ccat=2084197400

Chibi of course means small, and hane means wing...

So the correct name for it is "small wing"... LOL

Unless you think everything was invented in Germany where the wing on the 911 is called a bürzel which means ducktail.

The fact things are called Drift-XXXX is purely marketing, just as previously everything used to be called Drag-XXXX, pretty soon everything will be called GT-XXXX and after that something else will come along.

As far as I'm aware all the different names "drift wing" "stealth wing" etc., were started by bodykit retailers here in Australia to sell the wing and make themselves different from what every other retailer was calling it. I believe Signal Auto in Japan were the first ones to make the wing, and therefore whatever they have chosen to call it should be correct.

i shall commence with examples

1. ford GT40. first year of production, 1963

2. Chev Camaro. production date late 60s

3. Pontiac GTO production in late 60s early 70s

4. Ferrari 330 testa rossa. production 1962

now, i think youll agree that all of these predate the current obsession with "drift"

    • 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.
