so i hear a ticking sound form my ECU under boost

why is it doing this?

Ive never had an ECU growl at me lol

You sure its not your engine pinging at you under boost ;) , sounds a lot more logical than an ecu making noises. I can't even begin to think how an ecu could make any noise? :(

Try turning the climate control off and see if it still does the noise.

Over time the fan can become dirty and therefore unbalanced, this will then cause it to "tap" against its housing.

Happend to me about a year ago.

Yeah detonation (pinging) is a ticking sound (well at least thats how it sounds to me), espically if you say its only doing it under boost. But I mean I could be wrong, it is a car after all and a ticking noise could be anything. But I seriously doubt its the ecu! Anyone else?

CHECK YOUR FRONT DRIVESHAFT UNI'S!!!!!!!!!

Seriously dude, mine did this not long after I bought it, I thought the tapping sound was coming from behind the dash, but the intermittent nature of the noise made it really hard to track. Apparently the front shaft should have next to no play in it so if it has freeplay (as you expect a rear shaft to have) then you need new unijoints.

pinging is not really a ticking noise.

pinging is more of a "two twenty cent pieces being shaken in a closed hand" kind of a sound.

Yeah thats probably a better description....but to some it may sound like a kind of ticking

Hey, did you get this resolved? In another thread, you have lost spark - maybe, i think that problem isn't resolved either..

Is it possible that you had a short in the ecu and the current isn't making it to the spark plug? Try taking the top cover off the ecu and see if you can see sparks when you rev if. Just a suggestion.

we actually hooked the pack up to a tester, and it wasnt putting out even or enough voltage.

      Best add on carbon side skirts

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Hi all,   was wondering what are the best add on side skirts for the n1 spats. I have a front lip by top secret right now which I want to even out in height.    if nothing is good out there might just get a top secret carbon hood.    added a recent photo of my engine bay for viewing pleasure. Coming along slowly just taking a while in Hong Kong to get all the parts. Next up is a titanium custom intake for my hks turbos.   thanks

      I don't know of anything specialist about the Stagea and pulling it's CVs, but the ones I've worked on, are all damn easy. Nothing "hard" at all, not even anything really technical or needing any crazy knowledge or precision. Have a Google as you straight up might be able to buy decent replacement CVs/axles for the Stagea.

      I didn't realise you used to work at a place that does tuning! I know while I'm putting the Subaru back together it'll need a remap, but I'm pondering how easy it'd be to do logging at a track day. I've got an Innovative LM-1, and am pondering if I get a new O2 for it, or what a decent Wideband (standalone) sensor and controller is worth that I can log (And either ECUFlash or ECUEdit might support). I was searching for hiring a dyno for DIY tuning but looks like only 2WD dynos can be hired at the moment and I need 4WD

      Dropped her down and rolled her out onto the driveway for a much needed wash.  Jacked her back up this morning and managed to get another 1L of oil into the trans and bolted the tailshaft back in.  Replaced the FP sensor last week and checked for any other leaks. All looks good so far. Just need to wait for my mate to come over now and get it started.
