agreed.
at least we are getting free posts tho. lol
look I'm past 3,000 posts!

 

BTW Brettus - I didn't see anything with the fuel trims to move AFR's a point. And that is from old to new logs from Konig.

I am still leaning on timing.

 

OK but we need to know LTFT's as well .
IMO this is way more likely to be to do with the setup of his maf and the way it is calibrated than anything else .

 

Can you guys help me out...has anyone experienced a "ticking" noise in the upper rpm range with the Greddy turbo. It only happens above 8k, but the AFR's are 11.2 all the way through boost?

 

/\ some would say it is the countdown timer on the self destruct - but not me LOL

 

where is it coming from? I honestly hadn't noticed it. I was always keeping all my attention on watching AFR's...lol.

 

To be honest I can't tell. I just freaked out when I started to hear it. My buddy noticed it first then when I was WOT I heard it at about 8k. But the AFRs seem good to go. So I am really scared to go WOT that high anymore. Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to what it could be.

 

does it sound like it's coming from the engine bay or from where the turbo mounts?

I had some ticking noises actually now that I think about it.....but it turned out to be 2 exhaust leaks.....one from the manifold, and one from my midpipe.....I had some loose bolts.

That's all I got.

 

Well funny you say that, because I didnt have those noises until today. And yesterday I took out the cat, which I had to unbolt the midpipe and the spring load bolts on the exhaust. That is probably my problem right there. But it also sounded like it was coming from the engine bay.

 

Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to double check all your bolts on the hotside....
But usually if you have an exhaust leak you can hear it pretty clear at idle and when you rev it just a bit.

 

I had some ticking, Believe it or not, it was the spark plug wires.. clean both ends.. :P

 

I will be sure to check to make sure the bolts are good to go. Also, I will check the spark plug wires...just when I thought the car was running like a champ!

 

I have ticking but it is the boost solenoid

 

So are you saying that this is "normal" then?

 

Yup, only if it's indeed, the boost solenoid.

 

This thread has really jumped the shark.

Started as a 'big boys only - no gurls' club, and devolved into two guys discussing scary noises in the night.

Please start a thread for each 'tick' that is keeping you awake nights, and let's get back to dissing the NA wimps.......


S

 

/\ yeah ........ what stealth said

 

ok...who's gonna start?

 

You are slow compared to me /thread

lol

 

I will - N/A 8's are soooooo slow my grandma could beat them in a zimmer frame ....

 

Just figured since this was a boosted issue it could be talked about. Its not like I am NA coming in here asking questions.

 

actually...N/A's are faster than me right now.....can't go very fast while on jackstands, or without a turbo, exhaust, oil, motor mounts, front wheels...
poop.

 

I think he was just hinting at dissing the N/A guys, lol.

 

I am on jackstands too atm....lol

Just know one day it will be better

 

yes, yes it will
