HOLY CRAP ON A STICK BATMAN! thats a huge pod filter lol. Um yeh i would do as that other guy said and get some lines and hide it. Myself i just have a 30 dollar turbo tech bleed valve, great value :P and it works just fine. although eventually i wouldnt mind gettin a greddy avc-r dual boost or sumthin like that

yeah all i have done here is put my turbosmart boost controller inside a jaycar a/f monitor box.... so it looks like something else.

cheers tho guys !!

i have bought 3 meters of silicon line to move it in cabin. even stupider...... when i walked out i realised that the silicon is bright blue..... not very stealthy ...

ok i am allowed to go offtopic in my own topic cos i don't want to start another topic..

here is a heat shield i am making up thanks to the helpful D.I.Y for skylines. need to go to bunnings next but i am sick and not going anywhere soon.

Yes you are correct Blue vac line is not stealthy at all!

You dont need to move the boost t into the cabin just place it somewhere smarter. eg. Under your pod cos once the cover is on and pods in it will be out of the eyes of our best mates :P

good to see another stag driver building up a cai :blush:

thanks kidafa, hey you wouldn't have any pics of yours would you ? do you still run standard smic/piping etc aswell ?

oh another Ot thing, what can you boost these turbo's too safely ? the neo6 has a BB turbo with steel wheel no ??

Many Thanks

jez,

Their are some pics of mine in the pod thread I started. No i run a fmic with the return pipe running across the front of the engine.

As for boost, I wouldnt run any more than 12 psi unless you want to shoot the fins into ur intercooler or out your exhaust...

hope this helps

umm just my personal opinion but the Ebay turbotech Boost controllers are a LOT better than the turbo tech - like I sh1t you not you will notice a difference - I had a dual stage turbotech one before and I found it average at best- not having a go at you just want to suggest a better product

cheers webng !

ok well the best thing i can report is there is a definite temperature difference between the inner side of this shield and the outer side and the kn pod filter is now just warm instead of hot.

i'd be lying to say i can feel a power increase from the shield as i also turned the boost up to 12psi which really gets things moving along nicely. can definitely feel this power dip thing that happens in the 5000-5500 rpm range now that the boost has been upped.

oh and i have had 2nd gear slip once already while i was making sure a xr6 turbo saw my rear lights.... he saw them :banana:

next on the shopping list

    • 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?
