I have read a few threads but most realize what a waste of time it is and find better things to do like attach a big single or go to the pub..

i dont think anyones saying dont do it, I'm sure we would all love to see results no matter how bad they may be..

If you got nothing better to do then knock yourself out but while your saying it wont cost anything your talking of building a stroker 3lt, Im pretty sure that will cost something and the most power i think you would make is a laggy 500-600hp at the absolute max if the turbos dont blow up first which most people think they will.. thats alot of f**kin around for the result when you could simply buy a Big single like mafia said which is proven to make over 500hp on a stock 2.5, you could have it up and running in a weekend if your good unlike this monster of a project which will take you so long that Im betting you give up on it before it ever gets finished because you realize how much effort it takes just to be lame..Im sure over the next few months we will get excuses like my missus had a baby and I smashed the car and I dropped a turbo on my babies head blah blah blah it will never happen..

Anyway GL..I eagerly anticipate your results ;)

If it sucks it sucks. I'll only be mildly disappointed if it does. I was kind of thinking 10 to 12 psi each at about 4000 to 4500. Haha... I just asked the missus " What happens if I do this twin turbo setup and it sucks arse"? She says straight up in a no nonsense tone "Buy a bigger turbo". :thumbsup: Hey why do people think that a less stressed turbo is more likely to blow?

EDIT: No parts yet. :angry:

Ok blokes. Line up your I told ya so's. :blush: The twin setup is still going ahead but not with the stock turbo's. After consideration I've decided to use better quality turbo's. Bearing in mind that it will be on the rb25 first then swapping to a relatively stock rb25/30 (7000 rpm max) what are your suggestions for turbo choice? I'll buy new turbo's etc and as this will cost more I'd rather have it work the first time. It should be more suitable for the 25/30 than the 25. Also I have a couple of T3 flanges for the manifold so take that into consideration. Lemme have it :thanks:

It doesn't have to be twins. Just seemed like a good idea cos the stock turbo's are so cheap and I can put it together for stuff all. Also I have the head flange and 2 T3 flanges paid for and arriving soon. I could always suck it up and eat my words and "look like a cock" but like I said its not hard to sort out and I already have most of the bits on the way or at work. I dont care about being different. Read my second sentence again.

Well I have 2 turbo's in the shed. Its just a matter of putting it all together when the flanges arrive. The reason I kinda shied away from the nissan ones is cos they're so old that the chra's will be rooted.

EDIT: The money is basically spent. Only gotta sort out some intake piping.

    • 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 👌
