Hey Guys,

having problems with my recently rebuilt R33 GTR.

I'm running twin Garrett GT2560R GTR 400hp (-10) turbos, procams, Z32 AFM and power FC (older one).

The problem is a when I am cruising eg 60km/h or 100km/h the turbos seem to surge and it becomes pretty uncomfortable...

My mechanic is running out of ideas...

he tried re-tuning, plumb-back BOV, std AFM... but nothing changed...

I have a feeling I might need a balance pipe between the exhaust manifolds... but its a big job for a "might"

I am sure I am not the first to experience this...

Please advise..

Greg

Hey Greg,

Its been experienced before, I am having the same issues... check out my post on it:

My Turbo Shuffle Problem

Do a search for "Turbo Shuffle" or "Shuffling" and you should get some relevant hits.

I've heard balance pipes are the fix from most ppl in the know (that's if stock GTR recirc valves don't fix it). I would do that for my setup too, but the highmount "header style" manifolds and dump positions make it extremely difficult/expensive and maybe not possible to do properly.

If you can find someone to weld cast manifolds then you should be able to get a balance pipe welded into your stock manifolds (with a bit of the flexi pipe in between)...

If you are made of money, go buy the HKS manifolds with the balance pipe already installed.

Good luck, and if you do get the balance pipes, can you please let us know if they fixed the shuffling?

Cheers,

Pete

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
