Hi peeps,

Need some info on this before I head off to a muffler store. I have a 3inch (i think its cat back) exhaust with a cannon tip muffler which all came with the car direct from japan. Trouble is that under some heavy foot acceleration, the exhaust gives out this loud nasty pop when the gears change. I dont want to loose the 3 inch pipe work but the sound has really got to me. Anyone else with this problem? what exhaust do you guys have on your cars?

My wifes RS4 does the same thing. I think they over fuel a bit on lift off and hence the pop. My 260RS does the same thing with the standard exhaust (she does flames though, which is cool). That is being changed soon. I wouldnt worry too much about it,

Cheers,

Ken

Sounds like the wastegate, but mine is more of a brrrt sound than a pop, mine is 3" turbo back.

Mine pops on overrun, and quite regularly too. Mine has the standard ECU, but it's been converted to manual, so I can kinda induce the popping at will with some heel-and-toe or throttle stabs on downshifts.

Dunno if it shoots flames, but I'd like to find out. Might either get someone trusted to drive it one day as I follow, or get someone to follow me...

Nope, ONLY myself and the wife drive it.

The only other time I have let someone else drive it was one of my best freinds when I was married, and even then I wasnt happy abou tit, but the wife insisted that we rode in the back, <sighs> so yeah.

No I do not like the idea of someone else driving my car, it is hard enough letting the wife bloody drive it.......... :D

Hei SKA so what you are saying id you value the car more than your wife?

:( AHAHAHH!!!!

Well to tell you the truth though i dont like people driving my car as well.

i LOVE getting driven by in my car

nothing like hearing YOUR car SUCK, FLUTTER and ROAR past :(

Then you think....so thats what it sounds like when i boost off in front of someone in a "fast" car, muahhaah

I got told my car sounds like "someone roaring and ripping their throat open at the same time". I was like, oooooo, then yeh, it does :D

Well i run the bog standard factory ECU so can't really say if im running lean or rich....good enuff cause to get a stoich meter installed. anywayz if the car runs rich on the standard ecu ...does that mean we can get away with using 91 ron pulp?

and just side tracking on the issue, how much boost can I run on the factory ecu before the injectors max out, the fuel pump suffers a heart attack or the MAF goes crazy <<whichever comes first

Mine is a stocker with 3" cat back. It always has a nice burble on back off with the odd snap crackle and pop up the top, after hard acceleration.

Exit is very sooty, dont know if it flames. Got to get the DFA finished and fitted.

hey fcruz3r, check your plugs and buy new ones and gap them at 0.8 this shoulf fix your problem reset the computer and put BP ultimate ot shell optimax in and it should be as good as new and wit the pop in between gear changes this is normal as long as its only one missfire

dont you guys let other people drive your cars?

not a chance in hell, ive already had one of my cars written off by a mate and i'll be damned if im gonna let anyone drive my car again. not even my girlfriend.

the other day my dad moved my car from out of his workshop to the parking bay (about 10 metres) and put the front bar into the gutter.....NOT HAPPY JAN!

The Autech front bars are a bitch, they sit very low (aftermarket sus doesnt help) and stick out a mile. Mines been off once for painting and is just about due again!

Thanks for the tip QIKEXT. Yea currently its just a single loud pop between gear shifts...must be just an RB thing. I'll get the new plugs anyway ...do you know the exact code number/make for the oem plugs? what about resetting the ecu..how is that done...is that like disconnecting the battery terminals for a couple of minutes before putting them back on?

I thought to reset the stock ecu, dissconnect battery, pump the brakes to discharge any capacitors still holding charge through the brake lights, reconnect battery.

But I still fail to see what that actually accomplishes, I mean it doesnt store any data, does it?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
