I dodnt think they control timing? Timing is what will give the greatest gains down low

Ahh ok... should that be done on a dyno? Or can any mechanic do that?

Of course most are over priced, but say you paid what they're worth ($500 with HC) than paying $1500? for something much, much better.

EG: my basic car, 500 + tuning seems more appealing than 1500 + tuning

agreed, there are too many muppets wanting crazy prices for 2nd hand pfcs like $1200+

..or by saying that am i a dirty low baller? :domokun:

dyno for your timing mate, any workshop with a dyno should be sweet to do it

SAFC = super air flow controller

unless i'm wrong it only controls the mixtures

bunta matey,, whats the going rate on adaptronics lately on installations?

*face palm*

Installation doesn't mean tuning.

so you want it installed but not tuned?

lol why do i bother - but from what ive seen/heard they only offer a price for it installed and tuned, which makes sense

but by all means call efi performance, introduce yourself, and tell them you want one installed and not tuned (as they are the qld supplier)

There are more then 1 supplier for Adaptronic in brisbane

but since Bunta gets his through them ill get it from else where..

i would say not a lot its 1200 installed and tuned and the unit itself is about $850 so im guessing the installing part is being charged out at about $200 including the short patch loom which is about $25

Just get them direct from adaptronic! Its a Brisbane company thats where i got mine from.

http://www.adaptronic.com.au/products/vidiguage.html I want this!

oh and it turns out that for all the s series cars and the GTSTs there is already a plug in loom developed, they have been busy little beavers!

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • 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.
