As for solid lifters. The only ways to convert to solid is to go with a manufacturer that makes a conversion kit. I've had engineers try to set up the Tomei conversion (JHH Engineering) and they can't. It doesn't work. The other way to do it is to convert your hydraulic lifters to solid. I don't think you'll get anyone here to tell you how it's done. I haven't got the time right now but might do tonight.

i woundnt bother spending the cash and r & d time on a soilid conversion, or disabiling the vct.

a 26 head has everything you want and would be a lot cheaper and flow more.

failing that a 26 headgasket will block of the vct oil feed. prob fixed.

Not really. JHH do the solid conversion for around $450 from memory. Once you factor in the cost of a complete 26 cylinder head with manifolds etc, the cost gets pretty high and the 25 head will flow the same anyway. Plus he'll probably have to alter the intercooler piping which adds more cost.

The oil feed doesn't need to be blocked, you can just leave it

    • 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?
