Stop all this crapping on about what you will or won't do over the quarter based on a dyno.

Take it to the strip, till you do an actual 13 you can say nothing. Tell everyone you expect 14's so when you run 13's you can act pleased.

My old R33 gtst ran low 13's with less work on horsepower output and more on maximising engine response, something a dyno doesn't show you. You may like to spend some time on traction issues too. You don't need that much power to run low 13's just good average power.

I reckon if people like guessing about 1/4 mile times so much based on dynos someone should start taking bets. I think I'd do pretty good business as a bookie. :(

I ran a 13.6 with 155rwkw in my R33 gtst, the turbo wouldnt hold boost, and the clutch was slipping, this was at WSID, if I had a scanner I would post it for you.

Come to think of it I ran the 13.6 with only 3in zorst from turbo, and EMS stinger, bleed valve set for 15psi.

like i said it done a high 14 @143 so anytime quicker than that will do me 4 now and with new reading i hope to get a mid- hi 13 ,just thought some guys in here had a rough idea on what it could run ,and they have thankx guys, (didnt i say there is no strip here ) but it wont be long wsid is looking the closest

    • 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 👌
