my car has all of a sudden started to backfire or pop while decelerating. it normally happens while just cruising on the speed limit or so and when i back off for reasons like traffic or coming up to a corner the car will occasionaly give a lttle pop out the exhaust. its nothing loud like the old key bangers i used to do to scare the shit out of pedestrians in the sigma but i was just wondering why it would just start happenening. i fitted the new turbo and front mount a month or so ago so the only reason i can think of is because its so cold at the moment. i adjusted the blow of valve so that it is at its hardest setting but it is a plumb back anyway.

Mine does the same thing..more so when its in triptronic mode..mine has a big exhaust and Blow off.From what I know it does this as a result of running rich and the poping is unburnt fuel..it can also be a result of a worn out O2 sensor I believe. I dont think it is a major cause for concern...sounds cool...but..the thought of using more fuel than is nessesary..aint a good one.

All it would be is unburnt fuel going out the exhaust, mine used to do it all the time particularly if I go up it then threw out the anchors straight away.

Gut your cat converter and watch for the flames....and the police. :P

yeah i was thinking i might have a small air / vacume leak somewhere as when i boost it i get a little whistle from somewhere other than the normal boost noise. i already have a decat pipe and i have been told that i pop flames on up changes when it tickles the limiter.

It's just un-burnt fuel, and it shouldn't be an issue. When you back off the accelerator, some of that extra fuel might still go through the engine, and when it reaches the exhaust the high temperatures cause small explosions in the exhaust manifold and dump pipes, etc.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
