Popping under full throttle

Popping under full throttle
When I push the gas pedal down all the way I hear a strange pop noise come from underneath the hood. It sounds like its coming from the driver side area of the engine and kinda sounds like metal tapping metal once or twice. Anyone else ever experience this? Im thinking it might have something to do with my ignition since im still having this damn problem of it not going over 3800.

If this is a Turbo II - could be detonation. What does your air/fuel gauge read? If it's the stock TII, time for the full tuneup/60K mile service.
If it's an NA, then it really needs a tuneup if it's detonating.

um YES it could VERY WELL be detonation. Man, i would upgrade your fuel system ASAP or plug that intake back up. Jesus man, you are lucky you havnt blown your engine, no exaderation there at all.

The mods that I have done are a full racing beat exhaust, fcd, and hks smf intake. I dont have any guages so i dont know my a/f ratio. Thanks for the replies.

You definitly need to chart your air/fuel vs RPM on the dyno and bump up any spots in your dyno that are running lean.
For your first run, I'd bump everything up ritch and then dial down in susequent runs.

Put the stock airbox back on. That'll help to keep the boost down 1psi or so.
You are detonating. Switch to the highest unleaded octane gas that you can get your hands on if your not running it already. Only get gas from known stations, and avoid getting gas when the tanker is there.

I'm speaking from measured experience.

get bigger secondary injectors,a good fuel regulatorand like every one sayes a walbro fuel pump.
Don't let it detonate for the love of god.
P.S. make a sheild around your air intake.

I have heard the same noise on my car except it is all stock. It sounds more like a popping engine mount but then again my mounts look fine. Possibly a suspension piece. It only happens under load and it pops twice, almost a clunk. Doesn't sound like detonation, but then again I haven't heard detonation on a rotary motor before(if it sounds any diffrent than a piston motor).
