Hey all

Still having problems, i have a intermitent misfire problem, it was kicking into limp mode every now and then. So try and fix it i changed the coilpacks, coilpack loom and the afm, only other thought is injectors? Could that be causing it?

Any help would be great

I intend on getting a tune soon, i have platnuim plugs in at the moment. I went through the whole system a few months back to check for leaks and i couldnt find any i changed all the clamps aswell. Ill take the boost off and see if that changes it.

I did have an adverage mechanic fit a check it awhile ago but they screwed around with my turbo hoses and now half them arnt even hooked up.

You haven't answered my question on what heat range plugs. ....

Never mind.

Don't waste you only with platinum plugs. Coppers are the go.

You can visually check all you want for leaks,but untill you pressure test the intercooler pipes you don't know if you have any boost leaks.

How many hoses do you expect to be connected to your turbo? As you mentioned mechanic put half back on.

So instead of putting the F piece back on the bypassed the solenoid and just put the intercooler hose straight to the turbo and they had the boost sensor and another hose mixed up for what i found with a vacum diagram i found for a neo.

    • 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?
