No that's the rub I'd have to buy it , there are a lot cheaper ones around so ill have to look into it, but those tune results I posted the other day were my car with a programable ecu an a tune, that's all that's missing from getting into the 280rwkw range, but he said 230-240 would be safe as houses to run with the current running gear already there.

Daryl it really depends on what you want out of it.
Best bang for buck is going to be the nistune.

I honestly think you need to sit down and work out exactly what your plan is.

Otherwise you are going to have all these mismatched parts and no idea of what you actually want.

Set yourself a goal and then research how to get there.

Are you looking to get to that power goal the easy and cheap way or the safer and more expensive way.

I made the mistake of focusing purely on power and neglecting handling, braking and general maintenance.

This left me with a 250kw car that feels like shit to drive these days.

Parts need to talk with each other or else they're just junk in the trunk huehue.

I suggest talking with someone (with knowledge) and aim for a power outlet - If you're wanting 300kW then ask a specialist on what supporting mods you need to get that.

Figure out what you want in the end game and work towards it - it's not a cheap journey.

cheers

Just got hold of the guy that did up the car, he spent 13000$ on it

It has an adjustable arm on the antenuator to a just boost so a just nut back toward cabin lower , towards front end higher boost , he had it tuned with the stock ecu with the tune stats I posted an has a 12.5 quarter mile printout ,

2 cowboys owned it between him to me, in a 5 month space of time , turbo is high flowed an will handle 18psi but he only ever had it at 11.

so if they didn't mess up to much in that 5 month gap , I'm on a good thing

Nitrous?

Blanked off hole in the crossover pipe would be a sign of nitrous use.

That can flog the crap out of a motor, especially if the timing isnt retarded at least 5 degrees.

Might have got number wrong but he knew everything, he sold it for 7.5 then 2 goon had it in a 5 month period before me.

But from what ultimate told me yesterday it's all there to put down real power. ?

    • 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. 
    • 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 👌
