hey guys the popping on de acceleration has been getting worse for awhile and last night at the drags made it ten times worse. Orginally i thought the cat had shit itself but i had it on a hoist today and the exhuast is all good. And there appears to be no exhaust leaks and no intake leaks and it is holding boost what can course this poping. It appears to be down on power as well. I am hoping that a spike to 16 psi last night down the strip hasnt affected the stock turbo.

its normal to have abit of popping, my pops it ass off normally :)

If you think its excessive or getting worse i would check for intake leaks, just simple things like tight hose clamps and all vacuum hoses are on tight with cable ties. What bov are you running? Could that be leaking slightly?

Also what ecu are you running? stock or tuned?

if the turbo is still boosting fine without funny noises it should be ok, a quick 16psi spike wont hurt it, continous high boost will.

Also remember it is summer now, turbo cars hate the heat so its normal to have a significant drop in power during the day aswell.

lol yeah its good but mine sounds pritty bad more like a old shit box back firing but instead its poping lol i will check the cooler pipes and extra tomorrow. It has a stock ecu but its been retuned by toshi and i am running a stock bov

check your plugs for fouling,

my gtr runs pretty rich, and starts backfiring after about 2 months, especially in summer, the plugs will soot up, i just clean them and problem gone........

hope this works for ya

i will check the plugs there only alittle bit over a month old and the o2 sensor is good its not old at all and tested it a couple of weeks ago and i would mind the pop if it wasnt to excessive but it is quiet bad

I had a problem similar to this turned out to be a leaking o-ring in an injector.

however it can be a number of things a small vacume leak, plugs, afm, 02 sensor. since plugs and 02 sensor are newish i would look at clean afm, then change fuel filter (never know) then look for any fuel leaks

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
