I woudnt expect the 6870 to take over in power till up near the 6466 is close

To tapped out

Which on 30psi is no where even close

Even a 6466 is only just to take over smaller frames on that boost..

Cheers

I agree with this.

Set a powergoal, identify maximum boost the engine can handle, and design around that. Given that we are still running relatively small displacement it needs to be done with boost or revs. I can't see running much more than 31 psi though! And if you are still on the map at redline carrying that boost then you need not increase size of compressor (turbine maybe).

Yeah but dynos are fickle creatures.

I made 496hp with a to4z on 23 psi and ran 142 mph when everyone was saying to4z's were dinosaurs.

With this motor I expect to only run 26-28 psi and hope for 150 mph with the 6870.

Later on when I build a big motor it will see 30+. What I liked about what the yanks were saying about this turbo is the fact I won't need nos to get an 1100hp turbo on the trans brake and potentially only marginally more lag than the to4z.

And at $2970. Bargain compared to a gtx42r.

    • 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 👌
