Who did you email?

There are 2 categories racing in that footage, the Mazda incar footage is a series 6 RX7 running in a category called "Street Car"

For more info on Street Car see www.scrawa.com

Street Cars are based on sports sedans but with many restrictions including weight limits, rim size, R comp tyres only and many other restrictions. They are ment to be much like a road car, however "Street Cars" are very fast. The guys running at the front are about 3 seconds per lap of a V8 Super Car and thats with the Street Cars racing on treaded tyres!.

The other category is Improved Production Cars (IPC) CAMS recognise the IPC as technical regulations 3J Touring Cars

IPC is based on a production car with modifications. IPC is on of the fastest growing categories in Australia. The cars are closely matched and the racing is great. The lap times are about 6 seconds slower than a v8 Super Car. All turbo cars in IPC must have a 36mm restrictor on the intake of the turbo and 2 x 27mm restrictors for twin turbos, this limits HP to about 300 at the wheels, but with masive torque. IPC is a national category, they have large grids of cars racing Australia wide.

For more info on IPC visit www.iprawa.com there are links from this website to other IPC websites Austalia wide

There is more footage from available from the above links.

If you are keen on either Category contact me and I will help you on your way

    • 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 👌
