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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
