injector ticking on rb20det?

[kwazza11]

i've got a tick coming from my motor that i can roughly trace to the 5th injector . what causes them to tick like this? or is it possibly a fautly coil pack?

anyone had a similar problem?

have you replaced your oil lately ?? mine sounded like a sewing machine and then I replaced oil and that sound disappeared. also could be dirty injectors

mine seem to tick (the injectors), sr's tick very loudly. im hoping that its fairly normal??

yeh i noticed my R32 did this. Took this to a mechanic and he said there was nothing wrong.

Last weekend I had a close listen to a friends R32 and it does the same thing....

Skyline injectors do click alot. I had a problem where my injectors would get heat soak and fail on two of them, the ticking was more pronounced when this happened and power halved but the car still ran. Replaced injectors and all sorted. The car sounded like a Rex when the injectors failed.

well this has been happening for awhile and its the first rb20det i've driven so i dunno whether its lost power or not, does feel rather sluggish but got it dynoed and pulled 110rwkws so its naturally gunna feel sluggish with that piss poor effort.

yea i got the mufflers and piping for a 3inch zorst so i'll make that up this w/end. also got a big cooler to stick in at the same time. see what i can get with 13psi.... but more power just means i'm gunna have to replace my box and diff sooner, thier both well on the way out.
