Experiences with Royal Purple oils would be good to hear about.

I've heard conflicting oppinions on Royal Purple being a "superior" oil - I currently run Castrol Edge 5-40...

Also, is the "high performance" oil filter just a gimick or do the GReddy/Trust filters flow better?

With regards your oil questions - all are answered here: The Goods on Oils. The thread is huge, sticky, and is an amazing source of information. Personally, I wouldn't use anything less than a Group IV oil in my car.

I don't think flow is really a consideration for filters - correct me if I'm wrong - more their filtration capabilities.

Yeah I saw the thread but thought maybe we could have a dedicated royal purple discussion.

Problem with the thread is there is 90+ pages of it - hard to get specific questions answered.

**BUMP** for performance filters oppinions.....

Nope, if a filter can't flow enough due to blockage from sludge or way too fine filtration, it simply by-passes the filter element and then you run on partially un-filtered oil.

If you want mega fine filtration, run a by-pass system. Toilet roll filters will get down to 1 micron.

Leave the full flow to do its job.

So with regard to the GReddy/Trust oil filter...is it worth it?

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
