popping noise @ 6,000rpm ??

I FINALLY got my T2 running.. S5 into 87 t2..in addition to 820cc secondary injectors, but no type of fuel mangemant... anywho, i took her hard up to around 6,000 rpm and i started to hear popcorn popping sounds from my exhaust, from 5,500rpm and the power seemed to have topped out.(no fuel cut or anything)

i hope im just running too rich for my own good, but could that be detonation??

-TIA

maybe you should check your timing? I think that your also running way rich, You should do something about your fuel. I bet it makes nice flames though!!!! Also did you use the s5 computer when you did the swap?? If not that also could be the problem

Popping sounds like raw fuel being burnt in the exhaust. Get a safc and tune away...

Stock turbo I assume.

Too much fuel, you need something to control it.

i used all S4 wiring, including ECU.

Stock turbo I assume.
yes.

i have a custom 3in. turbo back to apexi n1(no cats).. with the silencer the car ran smooth with no bogg or popping. it's only when i removed the silencer the car popping occured.

thanks guys!!
