Hi Guys,

I've searched and had a thread in general maint. with no luck so here goes:

I currently have a slight miss on idle. Car is a stagea series one (pre Neo engine).

Its only ever so slight that you must concentrate very hard on the tacho to notice it at all, best way to tell when its happening is to stand next to the exhaust when its idling and listen for the slight change in exhaust tone for a split second. Looking at a digital RPM read out it drops only about 30rpm when it does it.

So far I have done this:

Pulled all plugs and checked them and coil packs (Splitfires)

Pressurised intake system to check for leaks with no signs except rocker cover gaskets

Replaced rocker cover gaskets and halfmoons

Cleaned airflow meter

Cleaned throttle body

Checked 02 Voltages on Consult

What else could it be? Could it just be running really rich?

Ive only really noticed it since Ive put a manual gearbox in it.

What else should I try, I was thinking maybe clean the AAC valve again (did it only a few months ago), replace the plugs even though the current ones have only done 2,500k's?

Car runs fine elsewhere except for some form of cut either boos fuel or rich and retard when i really load up the engine eg. full throttle up hill in a gear to high, reason i want to fix up this miss is so I can get the SITC, SAFC and EBC tuned to get rid of this cut im experiencing.

Sorry for the long post.

Cheers, Chris

    • 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 👌
