Mercury Motorsport Built And Tuned R35 Willall Turbo Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Trent, John, Gordon and the lads at Mercury have been working hard the last few days on and off getting the tune on the car right.

I reckon it was the cream buns for smoko and firebreather pizza that I got delivered around lunchtime today though that sparked some true Mercury genius.

I think I'm going to have to buy the boys pizza more often.

lol, we are just simple banana benders.

Although I am sure Duncan doesn't need me to tell him, for everyone else its 475 kW at the wheels

Awesome result . . .and a further testament to the performance industry here in Aus.

Awesome avatar mark.. have you got hi res pic of that?

That's one of the pics from our MASSIVE dyno day yesterday! Not sure if I can get my hands on the hi-res as I am pretty sure that shot will be used as the main pic for the subsequent article in High Performance Imports.

No flame thrower kit. Just no cats. It happens when you come off the power due to heat / unburnt fuel. It is not related to a rich tune either which is another misconception.

some guys in the states have actually sent pms to get the details of the 'flame thrower kit' I am using, so wasn't sure!

As for the rear bumper, it may do, but in reality it will only occur on the track on changing gears at which time there will be more airflow behind the car. the artificial environment of the Dyno room isnt helping!

    • 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? 
    • 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 👌
