Finally got to post up some dyno charts. Not earth shattering (308 AWKW) but it feels fast to me. I have had some good days on various tracks but now looking forward to setting a 1/4 mile time. Trouble is Friday nights are drag days and I work at nights but hopefully I will get down there before too long. Progress has been slow - no time or money - but some new plugs and a better setting up of the wastegate and a touch up of the tune should net me a few more AWKW.

RB30 is great for the Stagea (mine is 1800kg with me in it) - pulls away from 1000 rpm in 5th comes on boost 2500 and full boost at 4000 (rev limited at 7000).

What I don't understand, is why didn't Nissan make the cars with this engine....with their weight they really benefit from a few extra ccs.

Good dyno result, particularly on 98 (it's getting rare over here to see a medium or high power build that is not running e85)

Imagine one with a non turbo rb20! Lol!

Downfall of having capacity based road tax systems. Big cars, silly little engines.

Great result; especially at all four!

It must have torque up the wazoo; sounds like a great thing to drive.

So, 12 months, 2 radiators, 4 turbos, 3crankshafts, 2 sets of pistons rings and bearings, 5 unsuccessful dyno runs many many $$ and a new set of coilovers later, it looks like I may have my car back on the road tomorrow... Fingers crossed!

Pics to follow once I've finally had a chance to get behind the wheel again: cannot wait to post that it runs perfectly and made good power!!

Excitement!

installed boost gauge, car runs 14.5 psi, was hoping it was running a little lower so I could have upped the boost. So i'll just go sort the rest of the exhaust and still aiming for hi 12's

wish I had smaller hands! today I tackled, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned afm, attesa fluid and replaced all the dead lamps in the climate control unit! and refitted the stereo so it sits flush with the climate control :)

couldnt face doing oil change today!

What power is the car making? I ran 12.3 at 270ish RWKW and a slipping clutch. Its all about getting these heavy things off the line.

Put the boost gauge in, only reads .4 bar boost (running 10psi so .7bar) and barely reading a vacuum (maybe -50 mmHg but should be at lease -250)

Anyone ever pulled one apart for repair?

So finally got my bars painted :worship: and refit them to the car,while the bars were off i plasti diped the grill and pulled apart the head lights and plasti diped the inner crome bits [ :domokun: obviously not the reflective bits]oh and also bought a new autech badge for the grill and had to make a bracket for it as it was STOLEN with the badge last time :angry: and cant be boughtscottsstagea006_zps159c8845.jpg

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
