in trems of quicker or price?

the mazda just needs intake and exhaust opened up and you have a very well handling, very fast, legal car, ready to go.

(albeit ugly as a hat full of assholes)

the gtst needs another few g's on handling and a few more on power. Until then it's just a bag of dicks that will get defected anyway

If I was a crazy bastard, I'd get hold of a Eunos 30X and put the BPD-T from a GTR into it. 154kw in an 1100kg car and that's before you get to tuning it. Apparently a fairly easy and common swap around the world.

In every way yes, but I'm a bit tall for an MX5 and they've been turbocharged heaps before. I'm sure you could get one of those Eunos for 1500-2000. Be a 5k weekend and beer project.

god knows how they manage it

Wait wut?

You live with your gf now? That was quick!

Where does she live? And when do we get to see her?

Technically living with? I guess... I'm there like 6 nights a week and go straight home there from work...

Royal Parade, Parkville, right opposite Princes Park... and literally walking distance to Garage Cafe ;)

When do you get to meet her... hmmmm, never? She's not into cars much at all, I might see if she wants to pop down to GC for dinner. She has lunch there sometimes since she works at Melbourne Uni, in the building that is directly opposite GC.

    • 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?
