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?

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
