This basically happens when the engines displacement is too small for the turbo application. What you need to do is think of it a little like this. An rb26 with twin turbos is essentially like having x2 1300cc displacement engines with single turbos on each (which in most cases is too large for the displacement. As you can imagine as you increase the turbo size (say gtrs's, -10's or even -5's) your tubro shuffle, compressor surge or axi-symmetrical compressor stall (what ever the hell you want to call it) will get worse. Hence why almost all gtr's fitted with gtr's or -10's will shuffle at some point in the rev range. Get an sr20 slap on one of the said turbo's to it and you wont see that type of shuffle (2000cc displacement engine running a turbo more efficient for its displacement).

Now on how to try cure it. You can increase tge turbine housing to try slow the compressor down, (or use smaller turbos), but here you will run into another dilema, LAG. You can increase the engine displacement (why you generally wont here shuffle on a rb30/26 engine with -10's etcetc). You can try have your tuner tune it out, baffled turbo pipes etcetc. But the most effective way ive found is to use a 3 dimensional boostcontroller. Its basically an electronic controlled solenoid (by the ECM) with an rpm input ( which alters the duty cycle of the boost control valve as the RPM changes), and a throttle position sensor input (tells the turbo how much power the drive is demanding and essentially tells the turbo how much air the engine is capable of swallowing to avoid such a surge). 9 times out of 10 this will work.

p.s ( i love brackets)

just finished re-reading HPI 126. was like de-ja vu reading this 20 mins later on. even same examples... except for the brackets

Thought the same thing. Maybe Martin Donnon has a second account hes using on here?

can u put more preload or tighten the bovs?

i think the bov's are opening on light throttle load - dont know why tho

The bov opening on low throttle (the stock ones do) will actually fix mild compressor surge.

Is now all but gone, Ignition timing appears to have shifter (car was feeling really slow) anything upto 15degrees retarded (yes really) barely does it now

Running too much retard will cause the turbos too boost much earlier and also cause it.

Time resurrect this.... because it is BACK!!!! Timing is now spot on 15deg, the turbo shuffle went, and with no changes made it has started to get turbo shuffle again.... But now.. It also has a couple of flat spots, and after a while of normal driving will really need a couple of decent runs to clear it out and get it going properly, it is not that long since I ran injector cleaner through it (not because it was playing up, just figured it could be worthwhile) but was still before it was running perfectly that the injector cleaner was in it. So all that has happened since it was running perfectly is that it has been driven to and from work, it has had a couple of little blats here and there but the thing gets babied 98% of the time.

I have not ruled out the possibilty of a cam being a tooth out, but is this likely to cause the probs I am getting?

Light throttle application, normally going uphill, the only way to stop it is to get off the throttle all together and start again, pretty much anytime you try to maintain a speed going uphill it does it. Has standard ECU, does not seem that accelerating will solve it

I've had GT-SS's, I now have -5s - no comp surge at all using factory piping and BOV's.

I've even used the stock ECU with GT-SS's on 15psi and it was fine.

Sounds like you need to visit a dyno and see what is going on. Timing/AFR etc.

Also you kinda do need a tune dude with larger turbos...

Yeah, have the PFC and am working to get approval for the tune... Just seems funny it went away for 2-3 months...

Weather is starting to change now that we are in a new season, probably effecting the way the turbo is making positive pressure. Air density, temp, precipitation changing etc will all have an effect...

I get the feeling people are crawling up hills using 1.68% throttle especially at higher speed.

Throttle body not open ?

That's ok here is a nice big high speed high load condition for you Mr Rb26.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

WOO WOOOOOOOOOOO

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
