yes sounds feasible - but are you planning to run the neo lifters as well ? So you will have an under bucket shim and a over buck shims ( sounds like to many shims :-) ) - or are you planning to run a different lifter bucket ?

ok, it seems your right but i think i have a plan. Im gona use gtr retainers and shims as they shim from underneath, so that will imitate the tipping your talking about. then, ill have to find some springs thatll be suitable or get some made, that shuldnt be too much of a prob. wat do ya think wise one?

Im guessing Autronic SM4??? I just picked up a new AEM 30-1900U universal EMS to run my 30NEO :) . I probably wouldnt have bought it if i had to pay retail price for it (around $US2800) But i got got it cheaper. The main deciding factors for me was twin knock sensor control built in which i dont believe the E11v2 or the wolf V500 has, as well as dual wideband 02 controllers built in. the only downside is it only has 5 ignition outputs so i have to run wastespark setup on a 6 cylinder.

oh by the way spoolup, to reply to your last post, i havnt really had time to work on the head, but thats the plan: run gtr retainers, make sims for underneath, and also run the shims on top, although i think ill grind the top ones lower and have a thicker shim on the bottom

looking nice, did you just put the rb26 covers on?

What was hitting with the bonnet? I hear somepeople having issues when running the stock manifold because of the extra height, but with a greddy plenum i would of thought that would of given enough clearance??

how much chopping do you need to do?

its the front of the cam cover thats hitting the bonnet. My cfb has vents in the middle which happens to hit it so we going to cut across it and use mesh to cover the gap. Abit hard to explain but will post pics to better understand. Steve from top racing will be tuning it.

wiring up the ecu and doing final touches.

im not sure if it is just the picture but in the top pic with the cooler piping showing it looks like your bottom radiator hose clamp is broken. i might just be seeing things tho...

is top racing building this motor as well

very good observation mate. Even i didnt pick that up. I havent been back since that pic was taken but shall check and see. Yes top racing built it by steven lee. They sub contract him for rebuilds so i havnt seen or spoken to him for months. But when i get the chance will get all the specs of the engine.

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
