there is no way they made there way into the head passed the restrictors so what ever they are they started in the head, or where left in the head when being built

there is nothing I can think of that goes in the head that that could be, even a broken spring would be roundish, but check any way

but id say that is your problem, pull pump apart and make sure here is nothing in it and wash all the oil lines

What about the oil pump or rear main oil seal dowels? Are those intact or still there?

Could have been something left in the block before you/RIPS got it and came loose while running......

+1, id also like that car :wub: , good to see its coming back together

like said before the only way it could get into the head is if it started there, the other piece could have easily gone down the back oil drain into the sump, if nothing is out of place in the head then there is the chance it has falling/left in there during the first build

I welded up a tip that fits down on the bucket and fits between the cam lobe and the cam tower. Takes a little bit to get everything setup perfect.

Just got the shed right before all this happened, otherwise i would be under my car port.

Quick question guys, I have tial watercooled wastegates, so i was gonna go ahead and plumb them. Can I use this line pictured? I did the GT mod so and just have this capped off. its at the rear of the engine on the intake side. It would be much easier than teeing into the turbo water supply.

No thats that cooling mod with the swirl tank tapped into the intake manifold. After reading more than i care to read it looks like that would be more of a return port rather than a supply. So I am going to tee into the 6an water supply for the turbo and reduce down to a 4 and daisy chain the waste gates, then weld a bung onto the upper radiator hose neck rather than weld a bung on the radiator, makes one less connection when you have to pull the motor.

Drove it home today. So much quieter engine now. Triple plate carbonetic is hella quieter than the twin disk too. wooot. Well I am pooped. Not to bad of an install time. 20 mins for the motor, an hour for the trans ( yeah r34 trans in a 240z with fuel lines in the tunnel is a bitch), wiring 20 mins. Turbo stuff, 30 mins. piping 20 mins (yea tight fit for 2 pipes haha), mid pipe and exhaust, 20 mins, 10 trips to the faucet for water 1 liter at a time...30 mins... All in all, 4 beers and a monster.

    • 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.
