HI,

a while ago I had this problem with my engine shutting down without stalling ..just off..

So I set my hand controler to monitor knocking figure..

I noticed that some times...when accelerating at 4th or 5th gear, the engine light will flash quite a lot..and the knock sensor bar thingy went above half 3/4 the bar at some event....is this because of bad tuning?

It sometimes flashes sometimes not...so to prevent damage I got myself octane boost... it help a bit...but at times the engine light still flashes..it gets more and more frequent

anyone has this problem..

it's on R34...lightly moded...only pfc, 2.5" xhaust, CAI box, pod

advice please

thanks

I got it tuned in X-speed in W.A...they are reputable...no ticking noise so far.. the problem is the knocking is on and off...and it gets worse and worse..initially only 5th gear...now gets to 4th and 3rd gear as well...the mapping should not change..I didn't touch anything..

reputable or not, i would still take it back and tell them what is going on. it isn't possible to simulate all road conditions while tuning on a dyno, so although the tune may be safe on the dyno, it might still need a touch up.

the longer you leave it knocking, the more likely it is you're doing damage to the engine

topaz - ticking may be lifters? try a search

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By The Bogan · Posted

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
