Hopefully in the next couple of weeks,the motor will be on its way to being brought to life.I have been some what indecisive about where to send the engine to get all machined up and assembled.

Some of you might think im being a bit pedantic about the whole thing,but you when you have spent the money i have spent on this thing im sure you would be the same.

After some discussion with a fellow forum member this morning i have finally deceided to give the task to Paul(DiRTgarage) and crew.

Im sure you know of his mental 9sec quarter smasher. I told Paul that i wanted someone who will take the time to make sure everything is spot on,and not to cut corners. Paul has assured me this will happen and will look after me.So ill be making the trip up to Newie sometime soon and will be giving constant updates on the progress.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :/

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :/

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

good to see your using paul. he's a good bloke and im sure he'll more than look after you :/

Thanks Shane,

Happy to be on board with Dave to help out with his build. Parts are off to the machine shop next friday and will post pics of progress if Dave gives us the OK to do so.

    • 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 👌
