Been busy the last week or so doing stuff on the M35. This is the list of recent changes:

Scotty's dump pipe

Blitz NUR Touring cat back exhaust (quieter than original on the road, deeper not at idle. Very high WAF - impressed.)

Custom 3 inch front pipe with high flow cat (made exhaust slightly louder across the rev & load range so now just louder than stock but still a high WAF). Will have to post the before and after vids.

Removed throttle restriction

Classed up the interior with some well placed LED lighting

I did see a carbon fibre bonnet on Nengun a few days ago in the auctions but went to look again tonight and it was gone

Probably cost an arm and a leg too my blackie only cost me $220

How much is the vinyl a mtr?

after being a poor bum for 4 years, finally bought a return flow FMIC and SAFC2. They go in next week.

Also replaced all the front bushes ater they all completely shagged when The car was too low, and put the airbox back in. Was running an unshielded pod before and it was sucking so much hot air it was misfiring at idle...

Probably going to be more problem solving as it's still running prety rough.. but that should all be finally solved next week :D

picked up car from tuners thursday made 580hp @18psi on BP98 then we put the 109 race fuel in it and wound it up to 23psi and it made 620hp which was confusing and the graph showed it was restriction somewhere we looked at exhaust which is 3in but looking inside the muffler it closes to 2in so without changing anything we dropped the muffler and it made 710hp @23psi on 109 so gotta get a new muffler (prob staright through xforce) and still wind some more boost into it prob take it up to 30-32psi and we expect the muffler to get it over 600hp on BP98 and 800hp on the 109.

Sorry for the delay guys. I've been really busy making the most of a weekend dedicated to modding & testing (missus is away so I can play :D )

I'll do a detailed write up tonight of what I've been up to over the last few weeks re the throttle restriction removal.

I did a run last night that was just amazing. It was like a whole new level of performance. But like many things, there are some drawbacks with fooling the ECU. I'm going to restore mine to normal until I get my wideband sensor installed so I can monitor mixtures properly.

You guys already running Emanage are going to love this!

Cheers, Leon.

ohhh f**k dude! the whole day!!!

my car has been running rough for a few weeks, on friday it was stalling when i would put the foot down at lights, today i took and cleaned the AFM with contact cleaner and took it for a spin, the car is running so much smoother now and the 2-3000rpm splutter has gone and its also pulling harder, i can actually hear the turbo spooling now. now all i need to do now is get a job so i can get it producing more power.:cool:

Gotta be happy with a free DIY fix!

    • 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.
