Intermittent Pinging

Hi all.

Just wondering if anyone has come accross this in the past and can offer some advice.

My car was stock standard, and every once and a while (maybe 20% of the time i gave it a flogging) I could clearly hear the engine pinging all through the rev range. I later put a big exhaust and bleed valve to crank up the boost, and had it dyno'd and tuned to hopefully fix pinging. On the dyno it ran fine, but when driving it still pings about 20% of the times i floor it.

Has anyone come accross something like this and can offer some advice as to likely causes? Thanks.

(Skyline R33 GTS-T Series 2)

ur cas would be too advanced, injectors could be slightly blocked, spark plugs arent completing combustion, blah blah blah.. theres quite a few reasons why engines ping..

as above changing the tuner would be a good idea, and make SURE you mention u want the pinging problem fixed.. dont jus take a chance that theyll know its pinging as when they have the car it may not do it for them..

:P

Thanks guys.

I will book it in and see how they go.

What petrol are you using? it could be as simple as that. These engines need to good juice, dont be buying the local sh!t on the corner. u need a 98RON fuel e.g. BP ultimate. i had the same problem when i first bought my car and wasnt using the top stuff, and it only ever pinged when i gave it some revs.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
