hi guys i was out giving my car a bit of a hard time on w/e and after an 8000rpm shift motor started making a tapping noise...

Sounds kinda like as if it is a tappet but motor doesn't have them so any advise would be greatly appreciated to find the problem

lol @ big end.. as for tappets.... they have shims... check valve clearance...

but if u were cainin it and it started afterwards.. doesnt look good :D

8000rpm isnt that bad for an rb26 anyway hahah i take mine to 9k every now and then and always hits 8k

so im gathering u guys believe its a bottom end job? cheers

near silent on idle and builds in noise as free reved and whilst under no load when driving under load it is quite again

check ur injectors that make a loud/ish tapping noise!

when i first brought my car they where quiet, after using 98ron and injector clean every service noticed they got noisy!!

mechanic told me if there taping away, there working :D

hope thats all it is for u buddy!!!

P.S like tha guy said up there 8k is nuffing for a RB 26

ahh crap.. oh wellz :D

try to isolate the problem first... screwdriver to ear is a good way... stethescope is the best way.. but how many of u guys have one.. lol make sure ur careful.. dont go near the belts or any moving parts :P

    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
    • It would be nice to see the result, but instagram is a click too far
