Quick update..

LS2 Coils mounted on plug with some alloy brackets I made up..

Head torqued down, 6boost bolted up and with a fresh ceramic coat..

Also installed some extended studs up the back and replaced a dodgy wheel bearing I discovered..

I'll also be replacing my Tein's with Nismo struts and springs I picked up.. Should give a nice compliant ride and help with grip..

Picked up my precision turbo also...

Fitted her up..

Chucked the flywheel, clutch and box on the engine and dropped it into the car..

And mounted my exhaust ready for a dump pipe to be made up..

I also hooked up my fuel system and completed all the fitment of my fuel lines... did a pressure test up to 100psi and no leaks :D super happy. Not long to go now, just need tyres, cooler piping, a dump pipe and some sensors and we'll be golden.

Happy to say she fired up 2nd hit of the starter :) Sounds nice and tight. Car is off to get the dump pipe made up then its straight to work and onto the dyno for a light tune.

Im now running a Haltech R34 GTT Pro Plugin ECU which is due to be released to the public in the coming months. :) Along with Haltech's new CAN Wideband O2 box which will be released at the same time. Very cool stuff.

This was turn-key off an RB26 base map set at 3350cc capacity, flex fuel compensation enabled and injector flow rate at 2200cc. Not bad at all :D

It was dumping from a 90 degree 4" elbow i just clamped to the back of the turbo :D Car is having a dump fabbed on Tuesday.

Dave, ill be sharing the tuning duties with Scott. I'll most likely attempt most of it with his guidance, then let Scott work his magic in the high load parts until I've got some more experience under my belt. :)

    • 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.
