Hey people - ill let you do the deciding.......

Here are my mods (yes this is a repost, but different subject altogether)....please keep this thread mods:)

R33 gtr rb26dett motor in r33 gtr - Stock internals (as far as im aware)

R34 N1 turbos

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Nismo 550cc injectors

3" Exhaust into Aftermarket Dump Pipes

Arc Induction Panel and Arc Box

Stock Intercooler

Stock Headgasket

Apexi Powerfc and Hand Controller

I advised a very highly recommended tuner of my car and mods etc....and said i want a very safe reliable tune, and wanted to know how much power i could make reliably.....

There answer - a safe/reliable 350kw at the wheels, now i was thinking more around the 300kw at the wheels safe power goal....this extra 50kw at the wheels has made me hesitant to go there now, as i think its a bit much on a stock motor?

What do you guys think of this? go to another tuner???

From my readings and with my mods on a stock motor, i was told ~300-320 is a very acheivable figure safely...with stock internals...

Thanks in advice...

His dyno may be "happy" and read high. Its only a figure, see how it drives.

The seat of the pants is the best dyno, spend the money if it pulls harder than it was money well spent :)

Mate we have been over this time and time again.

300rwkw stock internals - is OK, plenty doing it.

350rwkw stock internals - is borrowed time generally.

I dont see how this is any different to the half a dozen other threads

I think i'll keep at 300rwkw, and get use to the power, than go for more after in the future when i have more $$$, and a built motor....

My goal is response, which is key for me, will 300rwkw be plenty enough for a Street Gtr, thats close to 500hp is it not?

      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?

      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.
