Interesting, a nice looking c211 you have there. Its obviously an import, i would hazard to guess that you have the only c211 gt-ex turbo in Australia. How much did it set you back? Have you tuned the motor aside from the intercooler?

$200. im in nz. some old guy was trying to sell it to a wrecker!!

that i/c is interesting...easy to do?

pretty easy, had to make a adaptor plate for the new trottle body and had to moun i/c water pump and radiator. made a big difference but not enough, have taken all the emission gear off it .

I've been sort of considering using one of them on my DR, by big difference what do you mean? reckon it's worth it form a budgetry point of view?

Thanks.

well it made a difference buy being able to wind up the boost and to stop pinking, although it depends on where you set the timing to. mines about 23 degrees. i forgot to mention i had replaced the turbo with a r31 rb20det turbo and i have been running avgas in it to. im running about 13-15 psi boost.

thats why i did it, i needed to get some more poke and didnt want to spend a cent, but i got sick of the intercooler pump noise pretty dam quickly. must be stuffed. probably not really worth it in the long run really. will be fitting a front mount intercooler soon dont want it tolook to wanky tho!!

    • 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 👌
