Unhappy noise is driving me insane

I have to get rid of this noise, its like a ticking noise that does not get faster with rpms, it gets louder. first i tought it was the wasetegate, but nope i took it off ( it was a pita by the way) but the noise is still there, I have the hks t04r full turbine kit... i think that is what it is called. any help will let me sleep at night. im thinking of bringin over my charger if i cant get rid of this noise. thanks in advance

How about a bit more description of the problem? Where does the noise come from? What year of car? Is it a constant ticking or does it ever change.

What you've told us so far is "my car make a noise and it's not the wastegate".

Ok the car its a JDM 92 r1 . the ticking its constant, does not change with rpms and it only gets louder when the car is on load. the noise comes from where the twins used to be arround that area. other then that the car is great lots of power, running REAL rich right now.

Fuel injector?
Try using an automotive stethoscope to isolate where the noise is coming from.

Sorry it took so long to post but anyways, I replaced the primaries back to the stock injectors, and the ticking still there, I'm begining to think it's the turbo making this noise..... but damn! the turbo kit was brand new.

A stethoscope is a great suggestion. They are cheap, and will allow you to pinpoint the noise very quickly.

Additionally it is entertaining to listen to the various noises created by things in the engine bay you would never think to listen to.

What? How do you get that your engine is going, from a ticking noise coming from the engine bay. Contrary to popular belief, these cars are not ticking time bombs, lol.

I dint think it is knocking the pfc allways shows 1 to 4 on the knock monitor, im just tired of this noise it makes the car sound like it is a beat up POS. but it is not. i refuse to believe that. I dont want to go to R-magic because they are EXPENSIVE!!!, and it turns out to be something simple.
