Hey guys. I'm just wondering where I should go from here. Recently got my car's camber adjusted so she handles really well now and I'm thinking...more power...

I've got...

Rebuilt RB20DET (metal gaskets, closed and honed, stock internals)

Turbo back performance exhaust with high flow cat

FMIC

GReddy Dump Pipe

Sard 550cc Injectors

Splitfire coil packs

Z32 AFM

Cold air intake

Garret GT28R turbo on 18psi

GReddy Profec B Spec II

Apexi TT

Remapped ECU (stock)

Front strut brace

Ideas for the next mod would be awesome.

In all seriousness, without seeing a dyno sheet to see what state the tune is in it is hard to say.

It could be running really well and making great power and maxing the turbo therefore a logical power increase would be a larger turbo.

On the other hand it could be making horrible power with a terrible boost curve which in that case attention needs to be put into sorting out the problems.

Got a dyno sheet and power figure?

True that mate.

I've got her going in next Wednesday for a power run and tune. I'll PM you the sheet next week and see what you reckon.

Obviously the boys at XSpeed will give me their oppinion but would be great to get a second opp.

You've already stated in another thread that your RB20 dusts GTRs anyway, so I'd leave it at that.

Go buy a Honda CBR900 then work on modifying that till it's as quick as your RB20

Yeah or I could dust your mum off and thrash her til she sounds like an rb20.

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