For the sake of an update... An update.

Gates are on. Gate waste pipes are done for the most part. I put an 18.85 psi Spring combination in, mostly due to peer pressure (looking at you Micko)!! I was thinking 17.45.

Hypertune are doing some coolers on an R35 ATM and should be done hopefully next week. When ever it's done, I'm going in. That will be to fit up the cooler (no stock brackets line up anymore) and turbo to plenum piping done. Wiggins clamps (blown cooler pipes will be a distant memory) will be used on all joins apart from where it meets the manifold. I am not pulling that Nismo plenum off in the car. It's 15 times more painful to pull off than a stock one. If ever the motor is out, I'll put one on then.

Surge tank design is pretty much confirmed.

Really, the only thing missing from the puzzle is injectors but with the dollar, I'm putting off that purchase till when I need them.

The other week Reaper was around with his 8374 snailed NUR. It should go damn well on the stroker! Also, another mate is putting one on a 3.0 so it should make for a decent comparison.

18.85???

running yet or you doing a bobby on us

No mate.

It isn't at a shop. Micko is doing the fab work so it;s just a case of hipping away at it when we can.

With any luck, Hypertune may take the car in this week for the intake piping and cooler fitment.

Hopefully goes to Hypertune tomorrow for turbo to plenum piping but I've heard that before!

Yeah yeah, turns out the rear turbo was cactus anyway. 5000 kms. Spose they didn't like to be run so hard so either way the turbos were coming off. Oil all through the dump.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • 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.
