Hear are my mods...(r32 RB20)

FMIC, Full 3" Exhaust. 3" dump/front pipe. HKS POD, GFB BOV, HKS cam gears, and timing advanced a tad.

Hears my prob...

Ive raised boost up to 10psi, tried pushing it a tad further for sum fun ( knowing i could cause damage) and once boost reaches its full potential the car seems to stutter (Misfire) but if i gradually build up the boost it doesnt seem to have this problem?

Any ideas?

take out your spark plugs, use a feeler gauge set [buy a set for around $15, can get bigger better sets for more], and squeeze your plug gap down to 0.80mm, it will be set to 1.0-1.1mm std.

Ask someone to show you how it's done, once your shown its easy, annoy your lawnmower shop or something [anything with a sparkplug], with a plug spanner, feeler gauges, and a spanner set for other bits and pieces, you'd get it done inside an hour or so.

No. Looking at the spark plug there's a bit that comes up from the centre of the plug to the end (the end that screws in). About a millimeter away from the end of that is a tab bent over that comes from the side. Making that gap shorter is this name of the game today. Don't let them touch, coils don't like it if they do.

My bet is that you have a standard ECU which will retard timing and run rich when you try and push boost past 10psi.

You need an aftermarket computer or a Apexi SAFC or similar at the very least.

Was thinking the same thing

    • 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 👌
