I've done heaps of divided turbo pipes, they do work but having done so many I also found a trick with the divider plate.

I leave a small section of the front turbos air path in plated, it allows some of the front turbos air to swirl around into the rear turbos path.

A customer of mine who is a fluid scientist type guy explained how making the front turbo swirl around the inside of the pipe before merging with the rear turbo helps promote a lamina flow and draw the air away from the compressor housing thus reducing the shuffle.

The mod does seem to improve the issue on all the cars I've ever done one for.

Can't hurt to give it a go.

Risking,

So if mine was to shuffle for some strange reason (people say it should be OK)....then to what level would the TT pipe mod cure the shuffling? Would it still be there a little bit or would it completely disappear?

Everyday I'm shuffling :D lol sorry had to throw that one in...

I've currently got t517z turbos and no TT pipe mod, no shuffle

I had the impression shuffling comes from bigger turbos (gtr-s, -10 etc)

LOL I've been waiting for that :D

Yeh same here. It's meant to happen with big efficient BB turbos that spool up a bit too much air down low and cause surging and stalling out of each other in a seesaw/back and forth fashion. That's how I understand it anyway :P Sort of similar to that shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh that it does when you back off the throttle very slowly at lowish RPM and on boost. ....i think.

I'm thinking I'll be fine.

What ECU do you have?

Ah damn, so there's probably a 50-50 split of people who've experienced shuffling and those who haven't with -9's

Ah there is one person in the thread, everyone else hasn't had an issue.

Not sure how that is a even split.

newb time... what exactly is shuffling and i'm assuming it's a bad thing from how this thread is referring to it?

As far as I know, shuffling is a thing where the two turbos will try to stall each other out down in low rpm ranges because they're creating too much air than what the engine can swallow. Both turbos are trying to force more air into the one overhead collecting pipe and that pressure will not always go to the intake mani but back down the other turbos xompress

Ah damn iPhone!

....was say that it will instead go back down the othe turbos compressor out let thus causing it to momentarily stall out. It's meant to happen with bigger, efficient bb turbos where the two turbs create too much boost down low...similar to surge. It's meant to give off a shoo shoo shoo sound when it happens...hope that helps ;)

I was thinking shuffle would happen easier with the smaller BB type turbs like the -7,-9 where they make boost very early in the rev range, say 2k-2.5k and the engine just simply cannot ingest that amount of air, and with the oem journals and the -5,-10 that do not start to make positive pressure so early it would not really be a problem.

With the -9s crusing along on 5th flat roads, just easing on the throttle at 2k ish is enough to make +ve pressure and you get shuffle. Ive never driven a car with -5s, but under the same conditions, does it make +ve pressure to induce shuffle?

That's all very true, just curious why in this particular thread you're the only one experiencing these problems? The majority seem to say that there're no issues with the smaller turbos in the GT2860 range.

Bearing in mind every set up is different and there are many factors that have to be considered eg. actuator preload(mine are f*ck tight) boost controller settings and as some have said tuning.....and hell, diff ratios for all I know

Also mine is not in a gtr, but everything is set up as normal beside for a 2.5" hot pipe from TT pipe to intercooler which I guess could be contributing.

Either way no biggie. There are some here who get it with oem turbs....

I've got gtrs, shuffle under higher load.

Went to a bigger exhaust, problems better.

Getting a modded TT pipe from risking soon, will report how that goes.

I've got a set of hks gt-rs on my 2.6l. 441awkw @ 24psi no shuffle at all. :)

Have had hks 2530s and no shuffle either all of this with no modification to twin turbo pipe or any other..

How did you get it to stop?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
