Ticking Noise

As the title suggests there's a fast ticking noise coming from the plenum area, not really sure its a problem. Was more just wondering what it was.

Second question is about my Boost tee manual boost controller. Right now i have it completely wound back, so it should technically be on the lowest boost possible. But as i have noticed in first, second gear its at about 10psi, then in 3rd it will be at about 7 psi. So the question is- Is it ment to be at 7 psi or 10 psi. I assume that if its 7 psi, the internal gate isnt letting enough pressure out. Where as if its ment to be 10 psi, the turbo isnt generating enough boost in 3rd to get to that.

Im sorta just gonna assume that the boost tee is crap and that im gonna need to buy a different one... :)

Thanks.

ticking IS injectors.

check for a boost leak or that you arent completely putting your foot down @ the same rpm you're comparing it to - you're meant to either have the same psi in a higher gear (if you've set your boost controller at 10psi), or more. the higher in gear you go the more boost you're capable of generating because of the load.

My friend used to have issues with boost control. He tried all sort of different manual boost controllers and the same thing happened. So he decided to buy a electronic one and it held the same boost nicely in every gear. But they are expensive!

If you want/need accurate boost control I think you need to shy away from boost Tee's......? I have one as well and mine does similar things to yours.

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
