Intense Tikking Sound On Idle

[Bainator]

I have an intense tikking noise from my engine when its idle.

Its from the intake (greddy plenum).

When i rev it dissappears.

Top feed hks 550 injectors.

The engine is newly adjustet and dynotested..worked fine.

Dont know so much about the greddy intake, only had it for some weeks.

Suggestions of what to do ?

There isnt usually anything in an intake that can "tick" (its essentailly a pipe)

However some injectors are noisy and can make a "ticking" noise

best suggestion, take it back the the guy who tuned it on the dyno and get him to diagnose whats going on.

that'd be your injectors I'd say.... ticking as they open and close

...

When i rev it disappears.

Does the ticking disappear when the revs rise, or fall?

if when fall = injectors

if both = ~valve train me thinks.

Rem to search, v.common w/ RB's.

Could it not be him having possibly an aftermarket ecu with the idle motor Hz set wrong making all the noise?

I got a small ticking noise after leaving my car sit for 3 months. Wouldnt call it intense though. My engines pretty much stock atm too and dissapears when the revs rise. Sounds like its coming from inside my rocker covers though as it gets louder when i take off the oil cap. Is that the same as your problem?

Im gonna film this, and post it on break.com. I will post the link here and send it to the dude that adjusted the car!

If one pick is a thousand words, then a film must be like 1 million words

your injectors should make a ticking sound, if it is real bad could be your lifters?

[inthisglass]

all RB engines make that ticking noise on idle..

listen to a few skylines with their bonnets up and see

if yours is louder than others your lifter springs might be getting long in the tooth

It was the injectors making the sound All good
