On another GTR I have experienced the shuffle running gt-rs turbos. Still has stock twin turbo pipe. I might suggest changing it. But once you hit 3500-4000 its hang on.

I have a mate with -10s on his R and it shuffles its brains out. He refers to is as Darth Vader, pretty funny.

Surprisingly though, he notes that in the build stages he once had it tuned somewhere different to where it was tuned now and there was NO shuffle. He rekons the car was a lot quicker also but the dyno read lower. I think the fast/shuffle-less tune was about the 380kw mark where as Darth Vader is making the 400 mark.

That would go to say the tune has a lot to do with it, but thats about all the value I can really add :( Intake piping on that car is all stock bar a big drag cooler.

So another vote for that the tune would have a lot to do with it? I'm guessing that tune wise, it's all about trying to get the engine to swallow as much air as posible down low to stay ahead of shuffle causing density. As soon as the engine can't use the air, that air has to leave somewhere else and that usually through a stalled out turbo. Well, when I bolt these on I want to take her down to Godzilla or the likes to get that tune.

When I first bought my car MOST of the shuffle was out of it. I put on a duel entry ARC cooler (and lost my BOV return pipe so the BOV's were blocked off) and that was an outright disaster with shuffling.

How did you get it to stop?

Got rid of the rubbish RS's. Would not go back to them if they paid me!

I didn't have it to begin with so I dont know how to get it to stop. My engine runs all the standard pipes/hoses on the hot side. Guess just with my engine package works for me. The engine swallows any compressed air.

It is just not like Piggaz's set up with a 2.8l which wasn't working and why he removed the HKS GT-RS and complaining that they are 'shit' but doesn't think that his engine is 'shit'.

I know it works for someone on a 2.6l. no shuffle whatsoever. ME! lol. :P

Dyno.jpg

All done on a 2.6l @ 24psi. Actuator was leaking at the time and couldnt hold the boost. Have since upgraded to 21psi actuators and have hit 400awkw @ 5000rpm @ 28psi on the same dyno then I had coilpack issues causing misfiring/gearbox was rattling. All these have been sorted and since then I havent had a chance to get it tested, but will be testing again once it goes RB30. :)

I like.

However, my goal is to just break the 400hp mark ;) That there is like 680hp or something!!!

Lots of -7 kits floating around..... -9's very rare, probably because people either don't buy them because they're more expensive than the other GT2860's or...because people don't sell them because they like them lol :P

What are you comparing? My point is just being with any right setup you shouldnt be getting any compressor surge. If you have the setup incorrect, then you may expect some.

I am just pointing out even with -10/GTRS i am not getting any surge. Doesnt matter how much power i am making.

Easy now peoples...I was just asking about shuffle at the stage....surge as we know is a lot more violent and the turbos I was looking at are too small and inefficient to cause this. Well I think they would be anyway :)

...except for a maybe a set of hybrid 2530's that I was looking at with enlarged compressor wheels

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
