Ive just put in a Cat back exhaust recently 2 days ago, and its standard everything even the cat and dump...I dunno if its running rich or anything but definitely its not backfiring cuz the exhaust underneath the car goes "POP!" occassionally and pretty often when i drive even normally...Occurs randomly but more often when i let go off throttle, but i can assure you the sounds not coming from the back of the exhaust tip...its somewhere around where the cat is underneath the car.

What could it be guys?? im very irritated...Did i blow something?

try using a gasket such as maniseal as well as the metal gaskets. smear some on both sides of the gasket when you install.

the popping is from oxygen contacting the hot unburnt fuel- ie you have a leak somewhere.

Ah as i was driving whilst being scattered from yesterday night, occassionally it goes POP! again underneath the exhaust system more to where the cat would be or the front end rather than the TIP of the exhaust....is this still called a "backfire"???? So that its normal?

Mine does it as well. Nothing to be concerned about :rofl:

Also re-set your ECU as it will improve power and economy with the new exhaust

sorry off the subject how do you reset your computer

my car does this with standard everything. It seems to be a symptom of running 98 RON fuel, I get better performance and less popping (but not quite eliminated) running 100 RON. If only I was made of money :banana:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
