ok i would like a straight answer... people get too sidetracked on the forums and dont answer the question asked..... but enouhg cryin.. i want to know what detonation sounds like. i hear like one or two clicks when going up too boost.. dont hear it at full boost (11lbs) usually on the way up just one or two.
i have a downpipe and blitz sus intake and obviously a fcd . i cant get my idle to sink below 1100 to adjust timing .... after i pu ton the RP fcd but thats another story. i reset my timing to sit advanced at 1100. about half the distance between the marks.
my pilot bearing is bad but i shouldnt be hearing it with the clutch engaged. the noise i hear is like one or two very unique ***** sounds...... not rhythmic or consistent doesnt do it everytime. the powerband feels good the enigne doesnt do anything abnormal. dont tell me to search i already did..thanks guys..and gals ... you never know im just not buying the wastegate door noise .. im ported WG s4 by the way

 

sorry half way the distance to the right of the last mark. caveman simple language.. my timing light doesnt allow for degrees adjust

 

i posted this message originally TOOO freaking late (3am) gave it the wrong title. so im reposting.

Please do not start new/multiple threads on the same subject.

Your threads have been merged. Thanks for wasting a moderators time

 

the correct fix would have been to what.. how about .. not being a kerry and tell me how to fix the problem so i dont do it again....:-P

 

^^^ Perfect example of how to get banned.

 

and i would be wrong?:-P i dont appreciate being spoken to like that ... im buddy buddy with no one who talks to me like im 5.... "thanks for wasting a moderators time" that was tottally unnecessary for him to say..... i think i just made him do what moderators do... anyways im done ........ geesh

 

Yes you were wrong to start anther thread with the same exact subject and problem. Don't do it again!

And I take offense to what you said, and being a moderator does not mean picking up after [insert derogitory term here] who are too lame to even find their own threads.

 

chuckle..still no solution beside the "dont screw up again".....no delete button?.. the severity of the topic made me repost......im done explaining myself.......

 

And thus spoke God.

 

chuckle.. :-)

 

Okay fellas, I don't think that sitting here criticizing everyone and their brother under the sun is going to answer the question at hand. I personally don't know the answer to the question, but if somebody does, then OUT WITH IT!!!

 

i wanted to know what detonation sounded like... then i wanted to know how to fix or removea bad posting.....

 

What does detonation sound like?

Take a padlock and close it so it's locked... Same sound










No pun intended

 

Minor detonation sounds like pebbles on a tin roof, and major detonation is a loud ping.

 

The loud tick you are hearing half way up the tach is low rev detonation.
The knock sensor is hearing it and retarding the timing so it won't blow the engine as revs go higher.
It is slowly trying to crack an apex seal.

High rev knock (sounds like a rattle) is too quick to be saved by the knock sensor, so the damage happens faster.

Start by getting the injectors cleaned.
You better be using high test gas.
Now you see why many owners have AFR or wideband AFR guages, modified fuel systems, and SAFC's

 

thanks for the intelligent response.. all
