has it just started doing it?

have you done any mods recently to cause it? i.e. spark plugs, exhaust, timing, etc?

it's not exactly normal, but also not surprising.

the fuel mixture does normally run rich in the high rpm range.

mine does it aswell, nearly all the time in 3rd.

its just because the fuel runs rich then when you put your clutch in all the unburnt fuel thats left sitting around pops.

its not a bad thing.. i personally like it as mine sometimes makes a tiney flame :(

when i get my safc2 and get the air/fuel mixture tuned it will stop this..

check the forced induction section man there was a technical write up about it..

basically your car is running rich.. when the fuel comes into contact with oxygen it creates a popping noise.

thats about all i can remember. but it is in the FORCED INDUCTION section.

thats called overrun

thats different to backfiring cause the engine is at high-ish revs, but there is no real load on the engine, and so it revs without using the accelerator

there is an excess of fuel in the burnt mixture because of the closed throttle, and when it hit the cat converter it mixes with a bit of oxygen and self ignites

thus the pop/gurgle/burping noise

backfiring is like a full on ignition of fuel/air mixture partially in the engine and in the exhaust - thats why its loud and bad for your engine

I love my NA,

Going threw shopping centres as your slowing down, makes all the burping and dull popping noises.

Every one looks :(

grrrr lol while I sit at home on Fridays when I don't feel like spending cash going out bored out of my mind hahaha

edit: Yea the only part of the exhaust that was still stock was the cat. So in the future if you ever wanted to upgrade something I'd look at getting a high-flow cat maybe, but yea it sounded and went nice anyway =P

Also have you done anything new to it?

Just a few little things here and there.

Changed the gear knob pretty much straight away, has a gt nismo titanium on there now, lining up a new clutch soon, and also suspension. but besides that, shes still the same from the day i drove away.

Hows your legs going for transport?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
