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.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
