Past few weeks ive noticed car making popping sounds (machine gun like/powerdrill sound when u cant drill any further) when on about 11-13psi throughout the rev range. So i turned boost controller right down and it is still doing it, but in higher rev range. Also with turned down it just spools slower but is still 10-12psi????

anyone have any ideas.....

missfire?

check your plugs and coils.

gap your plugs down cos it seems your boost is blowing out your spark.

or it could be detonation you're experiencing, what fuel are you using?

p.s. might help to list the mods your car has mate lol. then weve got some sorta idea what your engine is dealing with...

3" cat back, pod filter, hybrid intercooler, el cheapo manual boost controller go fast bits.

i only run bp ultimate fuel.

gts-t r33 series 1

it is worse when its colder temperature outside .... e.g. night and early morning

I beleive you have found richen and retard airflow point in your stock (?) ecu, once the computer senses a certain airflow it will richen the mixture and retard timing. The reason this could be happening now when it wasnt before could be due to the colder weather, colder denser air = more total air into the engine at the same boost. Try turning the boost down to stock and see what happens!

washed engine bay like 6months ago, i did clean MAF sensor a 2weeks ago... i tried winding boost down, i will try other way in case i opened it up, but as per instructions it is down as it seems to stay under 15...... holds on 10psi then higher revs when spiking over 10psi it hits the noises.

R&R for sure

^^^ What he said

how do i overcome this

Wind back the boost..... 10psi is sometimes enough for the ecu to R&R....

Your could also try re-setting the ecu and see how that goes.... If it hasn't been done for a while, it is well worth doing.....

if it helps, i got a sII with similar mods.. mine was making the same noise when i first bought it.. turned the boost down to stock (had to do a bit of trial an error with the manual boost controller and the boost gauge) running 7-8psi no missfire/popping noise when foot is flat on the gas.. I tried turning the boost back up a few weeks ago up to 11-12psi, which made it missfire slightly again.

stock turbo / ecu doesn't like anything above 12psi

    • No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this
    • Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.
    • This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.
    • OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
