upgrading to lets say tomei stage 1 proncams would give you more lift and duratiopn and that'll improve mid-top range! but cam gears allow you to adjust them to bring boost on earlier and so, but i'm no guru so someone else might have to explain! but my plan is to just get an exhaust cam gear and run the standard cams which i was told it'll be better for the power i'm aiming for!

how much of a difference would cams and cam gears make?

sorry to steal your thread but since its about lag and power

how would a gt3540 off an xr6t go on an rb25?

the gt35/40 from a xr6 is too big for a standard engine coz i think it runs a 1.06 rear exhaust housing internal gate, to make it more responsive maybe put a .63 exhaust housing on it

ive got a gt35/40 .82 housing and external gate on my forged rb25 engine and its still laggy even with cams and cam gears, what brings my boost on quicker is my 6boost exhaust manilfold but when it comes on to boost at about 3,700/4000rpm it hits HARD!!!!

do aftermarket exhaust manifolds make much difference? any1 selling a decent one?

they suppose to give you better flow but are only worth upgrading to if you want a top mount turbo set up or using a bigger turbo on a lowmount setup, ive noticed the stainless steel manifolds crack around the welds, but they give ya exhaust note a crisper sound

if u wanna go aftermarket get a tune lengthed manifold made of steampipe

on a internally standard motor stick with the standard cast manifold and if u wanna run a bigger turbo use a spacer plate

Ahh I see, I'm not chasing too much power, id be happy with around 250ish at the wheels with response on standard block... trying to get the car setup for track/hill climb. Working on a budget and xr6t gt3540's seem to go fairly cheap.

better off buying my gt30 hiflow and u will get 250 easy and not even much lag.

haha sounds good but i don't think i have the $$ you'd be chasing atm... just blew a load of cash on brakes and suspension upgrades hehe

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
