cool I am down with that :(

it will be my last run in the car as it is now, before the serious work gets

done :D

I want high 13's now, I will settle for low 14's I guess.... then onward towards the low to mid 12's in the next couple of months :)

Oh and Page 666 is owned by Nexus9 aka Satan

He shoots .... he scores

 

pity they are such a nice car otherwise :(

yup..... its got the looks the power and a big dumb broken box...

it will be back on the road in a months time... getting straight cut gears.. hopefully they will hold up longer than the 3000km the last box lasted

might have to get a DogBox if you start hitting 200KW in the Rex

i have 180kw @ all four wheels now.... i just wanna get a fmic, upgrade brakes and fuel system.. and ill go easy on it from there i thinks
shit how did you get that kind of power without a bigarse FMIC on a Rex???..... almost unheard of I would have thought..... but some engines are definitely better than others on the same car I guess.

ive had the engine rebuilt. i basically have the same internals as an sti, and i have an sti topmount on it now as well. unichip 3 inch exhaust from turbo back and vf29 turbo.... its running 17psi now.. so i guess if i get the fmic. i can up the boost and get more power easy with out any extra mods..... so im pretty happy with that... just this gearbox giving me the dramas...

aha that sounds a bit more like it, I was beginning to doubt you there for a minute (no offence, you just hear so much bullshit on forums, as you would know)

Good setup and once you get the appropriate box for it you will be giving many a car a bloody big fright .... heheh

    • 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? 
    • 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.
