Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

OR! Tell him to get one of those new Toyota 86s! ;)

They are surprisingly cheap and seem pretty awesome, I must say I'm a big fan of them.

Not enough powah. Wait till they release a turbo version... They totally will.

goes against the philosophy of the 86, it's all balance and handling.

Lets be honest. The only reason the old 86 made it anywhere is because of initial D. Apart from that it was a cheap shitbox that people could drift. And in todays standards of cars its not too much to ask a car competing in the market it is to have a turbocharged option. Whats the point in owning a car that can go around a corner a bit faster than your average if it cant accelerate out of it....

The fact it's so underpowered for what it's competing as is the only reason I dislike them.

As Anthony said, racetracks have straights. My mate who owns one loves it, but hates the fact it's gutless below 4000rpm.

I hear what your saying. But thats the current Toyota philosophy and is fine for your "comuters" and the regular population.

In my opinion It should be optioned up to mix it in the sports classs. Perhaps it may be left up to the enthusiasts to do this - who knows.

It's great to see you post Dan. WB :cheers:

They should have mate the GTS 5k more and made it a turbocharged option. It's just not quite there in terms of powahhh.

I'm not against seeing it boosted, just can't see how it could be introduced without upsetting their focus and marketing of it. besides, where better to get that boosted feeling than the gtr?

in the end, I think the bean counters will have the final say.

LOL - yeah, I comment about as much as I drive my gtr! must get around to meeting up with you guys some time (I've been sitting around for years...) :)

There isn't any new cars that sit in that cheap, quick market. The 86/BRZ would completely rule it.

My 1998 Prelude VTiR has the same KW's at the fly.

Admittedly its front wheel drive but why would I buy an 86 (spose it is RWD) but other than that - meh

Haven't gone far in over a decade

Exacery. And 40k isn't cheap for a daily bash around drive lol.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      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?

      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.
