Dropping the exhaust and the airbox made no difference :(

Looking into the problem with the builder...Possible cam timing issue!?

Can you get a copy of the dyno sheet? Should show if it is cam timing out, eg power curve heavily shifted to the low end etc.

  • 4 weeks later...

UPDATE!!!

Ok so Tomei 256/8.5 IN&EX cams + adjustable gears were put in.

Car was timed using DIAL GUAGES. Builder said that he had to run 7-8 deg advanced on the intake side and 6 deg on the exhaust side from "zero" when the dial guages displayed that the cams were in the right position ("zero'd" as you would with a standard type setup).

Car was chucked on the dyno...From what I was told in conversation, the ignition timing was measured with a gun so that the ignition timing on the computer could be verified. For some reason the timing was 10 degrees out (advanced from memory). I have no idea why this was the case as the computer was not touched since last time the thing was on the dyno. So the timing was reset in the computer.

Few runs were conducted. Timing was played with up to around 8-10 times on both the exhaust side and intake side. But the thing still wouldn't make more power than about 250RWKW. Much lower than you would expect with the cams + turbo + motor setup.

They took it off the dyno for lunch. Cooled down, then ran it again...Made about 5RWKW more.

So all up it finished with about 255.5RWKW at an A/R of about 11.5-11.8.

See dyno graph below.

Still reckon its a timing issue?

    • 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?
