Rb26 Manifold With Balance Pipe

[Shazz]

So I'm running a pair of HKS GT-RS turbos, and I'm contemplating changing my HKS manifolds for a set of manifolds with a balance pipe to stop the shuffle. Ie done a fair bit of searching but can't find a lot of information on them. My main questions are:

Is there a disadvantage to running manifolds with a balance pipe?

Who make ten now as HKS obviously don't anymore?

Get rid of those Turbos. GT RS' s shuffle...you won't change that. Many of us have tried and have ripped them off.

Balance pipe loses you the separated pulses which is prob the number one advantage having twins in the first place.

I still don't know why people persist in using -10s/GT-RS...

Unfortanetly I did this setup shortly after I bought the car, and probably didn't do enough research. I knew I wanted to stay twins, and it matched the power output I was aiming for. I had never heard of shuffling till now. In retrospect I probably could have gone with something else and got the same result

It's meant to help, bit won't fully get rid of it.

a split twin turbo pipe(with air guide) should also help.

larger capacity bottom end should help again.

combine all of the above to try and get the best results.

yes, most know the turbos shuffle.

but they do have potential if you have the wallet.

so, keep them, and build it up, ot sell them, and start with something like -5s which are tried and proven.

What size is the bottom end?

[33GTRV]

refer to the precision turbo thread. Flog em off to someone else and do it........DOO EETT

[Shazz]

Still a 2.6 bottom end. The intention is to build a stroked motor later in the year.

Hi i had the twin -10 setup and i still have the HKS manifold with balance pipe

the shuffle of the turbos will stop but you also you have to link up the 2 air intake pipes going to the turbo inlet

let me now if you need my manifold
