Need Help: Pinging

[Duncan]

a miss is like a hesitation in the acceleration, pinging is very hard to hear....you see experienced dyno operators with earphones to the engine block to detect it. Some ppl say they can hear pinging...some say you can't....

As I posted earlier I think its much more likely you just have some sort of missfire.

I concur with Duncan - I assumed you knew exactly waht pinging was , but does sound more like the ECu doing a fuel cut due to overboost.

Turn down the boost, and get a proper guage like Maj says.

I had a friend who knew about cars come round, and I got him to passenger as I 'spiritedely' drove it.

I gave it quite a bootful, and it went as smooth as a baby's bottom and still boosted to around 0.7 Bar. No noise nothing, so I'm stumped now, it ran better then ever and knew straight away it didnt feel like my line when it was stock.

Perhaps it was some other noise which cleared out.... i'm just glad it doesnt make the noise any more

could have been bad fuel too. but I would still suggest a boost guage.

Thanks for everyone's input. Love Skylines Australia for its ability to 'stick to topic'... too bad I cant say the same about many other forums out there.

Good work fellaz

only here to help... hey have you joined the SAU club yet? (too lazy to look through the list of members!)

[Tosh]

want us to go off topic???

[Majanal]

hey tosh... speaking of boost, how much boost were you running the other night at the drags?

[Tosh]

9 Pounds mate (stock boost)

I wanted to get a bleed valve on as I was offered 1 for free and turn the boost up a bit but didn't work out in time.

[Duncan]

yeah, sounds like its time to go off topic to me too

[Majanal]

what was the topic again?

[DezertEagle]

Nah I'm not an official member yet, I live too far south to associate on a regular basis, I might just stay forumite for now
