Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

So asked a mechanic bout the flame popping he reckons it's fine and if I'm worried about the fuel and such take it to tuning shop and get them to look at the ecu history.

Used to have a few when i was younger as my mother loved cats. They do provide many WTF moments

I'm no cat person either. But as Scottie said they do provide fkn weird moments

I think it would be wise to see a tuna regarding this, as your exhaust flows more than b4 and ECU may need to be retooned.

Its only a stock ecu isn't it? All you can do to retune is unhook the battery and reset it.

Got Clint to reset it last weekend when we cleaned the AFM.

Time to buy aftermarket ECU or get a nistune man. either way it's about $1400 minimum

Not a big Nistune fan personally. I think if you are going for an aftermarket ECU its bets to get a new stand alone unit. Either Link/ViPec or Haltech

I fkn love cats!!!! Having a bad day give me a combination of cats, puppies and Charlie the unicorn and all is well in the world!!! I want my house so I can get a huge ass cat and 2 or 3 dogs!

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
