Hi there,

Here is a list of all the things that I have done to the car since I got it. I am really a beginner with this car....

HKS cat back exhaust, HKS fully adjustable suspension, cross drilled rotors all round, Apexi Power FC computer, heavy duty clutch with lightened brass button flywheel, Eboost 2. argo h beam rods, acl forged pistons, arp head studs, N1 oil pump, N1 water pump, gates racing timing belt, tomei 260 poncams, tomei adjustable cam gears, mls metal head gasket, 2 garrett 2860 turbos, tomei sump baffle

Who also would you recommend for a good tune? As far as I know the adjustable cams have'nt been adjusted also

Thanks

There's at least four different sizes of 2860s - do you know which ones you have? The larger ones will have more power potential but produce power at higher rpm. Have a look through the RB26 turbo upgrade dyno sticky in Forced Induction find sheets to compare to.

Not many people tune at 12.5 AFR when the boost is up - typically its more like 11.5 or 12, which will be safer for the motor. Maybe they're running less timing to try to compensate??

Did you ask Envy what happened at 185kms?

AFAIK Jim at Croydon racing and Yuvas at Unigroup are among the most respected tuners in Sydney.

The good news is i've seen worse

The bad news is i've seen plenty a lot better

But, without knowing which 2860's, how much boost and a myriad of other things... It's hard to say where yours sits exactly.

My guess, being only 320rwkw, its the smaller ones, in which case you have some issues.

I've never heard on "envy", are they well versed in RB performance? IF not, your money might well be better spent at a number of other places.

Thanks for the advice so far.....I am certain they are the dash 5's. If that makes any sense. The car was'nt actually tuned at Envy, they just had a Dyno Day which I took my car to.

Envy won't able to confirm what was happening at the end there on the spot, what suggestions would any of you guys have?

By the way I think the boosts are set at 15, 17.5 and 20 PSI

Thanks

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
