Hi,

I have an RB20DET tuned chip for sale for $50. This chip has had the speed (means you can now go over 180 kph) , fuel and boost (mass air flow) cut removed. The ignition and fuel maps optimised to help boost come on slightly and help reach max power.

To install the chip you will need to

- remove ECU from car.

- take the ECU to someone (electronics place) who will de-solder the stock chip

- once the stock chip is removed they will install a cradle.

- once the cradle is in you simply need to slot the new chip into the cradle

- then re-install the ECU.

If you are looking at purchasing a tuned chip or aftermarket ECU etc. you will notice that this price is very cheap. It is not too good to be true, I'm simply not interested in mucking around and would like to get it out there.

The chip will provide you with a top end improvement - it will feel as if the car breathes abit better. Unigroup commented at a SAU dyno day a while back that it was a good power tune. I wish that I had a dyno chart from the day with the A/F line on it - but I don't.

The chip was tuned for a car with FMIC, 1.2 bar boost, pod, exhaust - the usual stuff.

Below is some food for thought for RB20 tuners.

Hi Ed,

It will run just fine at 13 psi (I run only 14 psi). I don't know how much of a difference you will notice on a reasonably stock engine - I recognise the most difference when boost gets up above 12 psi due to the removal of the mass air flow cut. I imagine that any auto electrician can do the work - really anyone with a solder sucker can do it.

Thanks, Ben.

      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?

      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.
