hey there'

so my car is going to try getting rid of shuffle (RB26, garrett -5's) going back to standard BOV, dirtgarage said that the HKS balance pipe did a good job, but cant be bought anymore, and expensive around 1k?

my mechanic suggested making one up??????

any suggestions?

they are ment to be good for like over 600kw are they not?

i only have 300kw atm on 15 close to 16psi but yeah no shuffle so far....

ill let you know how it goes once i rewire this fuel pump and add some more boost :P

what mods do you have?

Stock GTR bov's leak?

Yes

@ Idle they open and this helps avoid the comp surge.

same as the stock rubber piping etc etc.

Nissan made the RB26 setup perfectly in that respect. You have issues only when you go hard pipe kits, take off the stock BOV setup etc etc.

I have -5s, HKS hard pipe kit + Drag Cooler, standard exhaust and inlet manifolds, 20psi, NO BOV, NO SHUFFLE.

Many people have recently had this problem, its related to the turbo intakes, BOVs, and a few other things I cant remember.

Id be looking at your inlet. Its the only thing different.

What R31 Nismoid and femno said :banana:

I have the same setup and no shuffle either.

As nice as it looks, I'd scrap it and go the standard bov's too.

dam i couldnt bring myself to scrap it, i didnt ask my mechanic to build it like that, but thats what he did, i dont want to through more money away too, might just get that BOV done, then live with the noise, just would like to here those ol' -5's spool up, rather then 'thomas the tank engine' on crack

cheers robbie

i get the same issues with my setup to the cchh chh chhh

i have std rebuilt turbos w steel wheel on ss manifolds, full hard pipe kit and no bov and pfc with afm just shy of 300kw but i recon its the manifolds not being tuned lengths or the hard piping not being the same length from turbos to intercooler. what i was going to do is run a 2 into 1 intercooler and make the pipe lengths the same from the turbos to the intercooler?

what do you guys recon? and im not giving up the the hard piping kit lol

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
