Loud Bang From Zorst

Hey Guys,

Ok so I'm reasonably new to the jap car seen and need some advice and please forgive the ignorance.

So when my car is under heavy acceleration I get a loud Pop/bang from my exhaust when up shifting in the higher rev ranges 5k+.

The only mods i have done engine wise is a 3inch turbo back stainless steel system with a massive jun-bl cannon on the back courtesy of Exhaust Technology and a Apexi power intake pod.

The Exhaust specs are , 3inch bell mouth dump and front pipe into a 100cell cat (unsure what brand) then to a single mid mount lukey oval muffler and then straight to the Jun-bl Cannon ( dunno actual sizing but it was the biggest one there)

O and by the way the Car is a R34 Gt-t sedan with a trip tonic auto trans. ( i know a trans conversion is on the cards but not right now).

So yeah is this normal it doesn't happen all the time just when its under load and only if i don't take my foot off for the gear change.

Please Help and thank you

Tom.

He said a "100 cell cat".

Anyway, an upshift backfire is not uncommon on auto Skylines, especially with a big exhaust. Not normally a really loud bang though. Usually just a sexy little pop thud. My R32 used to upshift dead on the rev limiter (while it was still auto) and the sound was the only good thing abotu the auto.

Yeah I was hoping it was just that I googled it before and it's came up with alsorts of stuff about transmission mounts on the way out.

Thanks man

there could be a leak in the exhaust system somewhere.. that causes bangs.

Gahh i would hope not i got it less then a month ago lol

And yeah its been there since i have had the new zorst put on But its got louder which i put it down to Carbon build up Still makes me abit nervous.

And with the Ecu that definitely sounds possible it would explain the bang probably needs a re tune soon any way I reckon i will do that After i get my FMIC put on in a week or 2.

did you re tighten them after it was warm? steel expands bud so things loosen themselves.

also ECU could sound right as when high in the revs you will get an injection pulse when you release the accelerator. i think its to cool down pistons or something but i know it does it

ECU on auto skylines retard timing on upshift to protect the gearbox

manual doesnt

retarded timing on 0 load high rpm creates the bang

so its just the ecu, nothing to stress about

anyone who has a power fc in their manual, try changing the timing advance in first row to 0, it'll do the same too, refer to paulr33's PFC FAQ

Ok so i checked it out and yes it is the ecu!

Sooo with tax time conveniently placed just around when i need a tune i think i might invest in a EBC, Nistune and have a FMIC already then i just need it all fitted.

Fingers Crossed for 180-200kw at the wheels :banana:

Thanks for the help :thanks:

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
