hi guys, can you please help me with a question...

i just installed a apexi boost control kit for my power fc. i drive an r33 gtst by the way...

when i hit positive manifold pressure i can hear a ticking noise from either the engine bay or the ecu...its faint but quite easy to hear.

is this the boost control solenoid starting open? have you got the same noise?

i have just fitted a hks gtrs turbo kit as well, but only noticed this noise after installing the boost control kit...

ok cool. its quite a fast ticking....

my car is getting tuned today at bathis and borge auto in botany. will let you know how it goes...

are you going to any track days soon? would love to catch up and meet you dude...

i cant take mine to the track untill i get a oil cooler and do something about the suspension and brakes!! lol so it will be a while since i come down... might go down to wsid in the next couple of month, nearly ready.. got everything i need just need to install it all and re-tune it.

post up a dyno sheet when you can.. would be interesting

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
