Well I've been hell slack on the forums latley, don't think I've posted in over a month, so here's a quick update coz I know ya'll missed me! (or at least raggin on me haha)

Here's some pics of the rebuild process, mmmm shiny stuff.

First, the block, honed and bored

Then, close up of exhaust ports after porting and polishing

The head all pretty and clean

My poor clutch, it didn't like 4wd launches much haha

and some shiny new pistons with teflon skirts and valve recesses, hopefull I won't bend another valve...though, knowing me :headspin:

ETA of about a month I guess, depends how long it takes Amaru to get a new cooler *hint hint*

Well, I just had land on my desk the turbo for Marks VR4... and holy mother of god its big :D Its a customised Garrett GT3071R and a big thanks goes to Luch from Tune Agent (www.tuneagent.com) for organising the turbo at an awesome price ($700 cheaper than GCG, and anywhere else locally!). I wont go into how much power it can make, but it is a reasonably sized turbo, and the final results should be very damn impressive :D

Anyways heres the pics...

thats pretty fricking big for such a small engine isnt it ??? will be interested to see what power you get out of it and how much boost you decide to run that thing should be able to handle a fair bit by the looks of it.

:rofl: I dont know if Mark wants to keep it secret or not, but it should be very well matched to the engine.

    • 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? 
    • 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 👌
