whats that noise when you have the boost set too high like a cracking/electric noise from the front of the engine??????

 

I fitted my manual boost valve and had to adjust the boost its set at 14 psi now but while i was adjusting and test driving i was running too high boost and adjusting down till that noise went away. when the noise dissapeared i reduced the boost another quarter turn just to be on the safe side....

Car is running sweet but just curious bout that noise.....

detonation i believe. not good

do you have an aftermarket boost controller? its just when its cold it can overboost and its bloody cold at the moment so always knock it back a little in the cold ;)

detonation, hopefully you haven't caused any damage if you let off as soon as you heard it.

 

Genreally 14/15psi is th limit unless you have bigger injectors

 

PS for anyone else reading this, you should do it the other way, up the boost slowly. if you hear det, back off and turn the boost down.

yeah i wanted to do it the other way but i got too excited specially with 4th gear wheel spin WOW....

 

yeah i thought it was detting noise. engine still seems sweet no smoke etc ;)

 

i let off as soon as i heard the noise.

 

think im guna go for bigger injectors,

do you think i can turn the boost up enough to just hear that noise then unscrew the control a quarter to be safe? will that be safe to run and tune that way?
