Ticking Noise On Boost

Hey folks

Just recently started noticing a ticking sound around 5-6psi that seems to be coming from the engine/turbo. Only happens on boost and used to be intermittent but now i am starting to notice it a lot more (maybe cos now I am listening for it all the time). From suggestions in other threads I have:

Changed plugs - NGK bkr6es w/ 0.8mm gap

Changed fuel filter

Turned down boost

Cleaned AFM

But still happens.

Car is an rb20 w/:

front mount

x-force turbo back

hybrid ebc

everything else is stock

I have heard engine knock before, and I'm pretty sure it's not knocking cos the sound I am getting is not so gnarly. It's more like the wheel of fortune wheel sound as it gets spun. I know it's pretty hard to diagnose a problem without seeing the car, so I'm more looking for recommendations on what it could be and what else I can try to fix it. Already taken it to a few mech's and they don't really seem to know or want to help.

Help.

Thanks.

is it really noticeable or does it sound internal of the motor, if its the latter it could be pinging.

PS you must be taking it to the wrong mechanics!

Not heaps noticeable. Got a panel filter with stock box, so the car is pretty quiet.

If it's pinging, is there anything else I can do to stop it?

Read that some EBC solenoids will make a ticking noise, but would it consistently do it at 6psi?

Might try returning back to stock boost soon and see if it fixes it.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
