How are you attempting to adjust it?

You can only lock your base timing and then proceed with base timing adjustments. After that, the computer will control everyting else.

Are you able to explain your situation any better? I know your english is not so good and I'm not taking the piss.

Are you trying to adjust it in the PowerFC or on the factory Cam Angle Sensor?

Are you trying to adjust it in the PowerFC or on the factory Cam Angle Sensor?

My mechanic tried both, the power fc and the cam angle sensor. He told me, from the cam angle sensor, even tho he adjust it all the way to the right, its doesn't do anything. Same goes to the left, doesn't do anything as well.

Then, from the PowerFC, he tried to adjust IGN/IJN. When he adjust the IGN?IJN it down to -8 to -10, the car blew a lot of black smoke. So thats all he told me and he told me it had never happened to him before.

So now, I'm stuck!!

Thanks for your help!!

So I assume you are using a timing light to read the timing marks on the crank and not on the powerFC hand controller?

If you are using the hand controller, give yourself an uppercut....give your friend one too.

Check timing with timing light once you have the car in base timing mode.

That is all.

Thanks for the information.

How do you do the base timing mode?

    • 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 👌
