so how ive got it set up is good for now or should i run the 2 rocker covers into one outlet on the can and the second as a breather

my motor has no blow by what so ever i just removed the stock intake pipe for a metal 3inch and it doesnt have a nipple for me to connect the hose back on it

cant excatly have filters on catch cans in VIC hence why i hid the hose

ok so maybe i should have both hoses goin to the catch can but have a T-piece at the rocker cover and have it going in front of the turbo then or i can put a filter on the breather hose i have

WHICH WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA

CHEERS

unless i can find a washer bottle and catch can in one

Post #94, that's the one I just had made: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/385051-pro-fabrications-fabrication/page__st__80

Speak to Brad (Risking) thumbsup.gif

Easiest way is either tee the hose between the rockers and run that to the inlet on the catch can and then run the other inlet on the catch either into your intake pipe or vent it.

correct!

i run mine to intake pipe. but if you vent it, make it hidden so it "looks" legal lol

They don't breath enough air have a look at the outlet of the catch can , i bet it's smaller than one of the rocker outlets , they choke your motor to death.... Spend the money and do it right the first time

When i removed my original hose that went to the intake i noticed that there was a reducer inside, would be lucky if it was 5mm, more like 3mm ID so a single 10mm ID hose will breath more than enough.

so cause its vented does that explain why the idle is a little weird and its sucking through the hose thats the breather

you need to block your PVC pipe otherwise at idle or any time your not boosting it the engine will breath through the PVC and then through the catch can and through that hose hidden and that Air is un metered

do a search about PVC and correct catch can setup but once you block the PVC you will be fine.

    • 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 👌
