Hey guys...

My car has had this problem for a while... After a nice hard boot (or a couple of them immediatley after each other :P) my car starts to pop when going down in revs while in gear... if i clutch it, it sometimes dies completely from this. it comes good again after a minute or two but the harder i push the car the longer and worse the popping is. does anyone know wat this could be?

its quiet loud with a straight through 3 inch exhaust...

thx in advance,

bill

u got a FMIC?

Hey bilbo117..

This is the same as alot of people that are running stock cars with maybe just an exhaust..

After we discussed it with a couple of people in a thread we narrowed it down to car running overly rich and by giving it a boot your exhaust temps are rising massively especially around the turbo..

as you back off the throttle, excess fuel is dumped than ignited by the heat as it passes through the exhaust housing..

do a search..

Im getting that problem these days, the car dies when I clutch in, which in turn gets rid of ANY power steering AND brakes..........scared the shit out me when the damn thing wouldn't turn and stop. must go get it tuned.

sometimes an after markets bov that isnt plumbed back can cause this problem aswell, particularly if the car hasnt been retuned. Air that comes from a bov has previously been metered by the afm, if it is not plumbed back and you have no compensation, the engine will also run rich during the time shortly after the bov operates.I wouldnt be to concerned, my cas a constant flame thrower, cops sore it once, F#$k i was up that special creek with no paddle and a sinking boat that day !

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
