Weird Popping Noise.

Hey Guys,

Car is a R33 S2, stock bar Exhaust, FMIC and Pod. Today when i was driving, i gave it a little stab, then backed off. It was making popping (backfiring) noises whilst decelerating after that. So gave it another little stab, and it didn't do it as much, but as soon as i put my foot down on the accelerator, even 1mm, literally just touching it, it would make the same popping noise.

It was 37 degree day today, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. Car is due for a 100k service shortly.

I'll take it for another drive later and see if its still doing it, but any ideas in the meantime?

Cheers in advanced for any help.

Still doing it. I think when i pull everything apart to do the timing belt, i might replace the O2 Sensor, get the AFM cleaned, wack a new set of plugs in her, and reset the ecu. Sounds to me likes its overfueling (My old 1JZ Z20 Soarer had a similar problem when we were adjusting fuel mixtures on the Wolf3d) so i'll see how that all goes.

If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know.

Most likely you are lean which could be for a ton of reasons related to timing issues ,fuel delivery system, intake leak, etc.

Also could be running too rich just when you accelerate then back off the throttle.

Getting boost issues? De-catted?

what your experiencing is 100% normal

wen ur foot is "1%" on throttle as u say, during deceleration, the injectors are spitting out a tiny bit of fuel that isnt fully combusting and makes popping noises in ur exhaust coz its combusting there instead

if its still doing it during deceleration, with ur foot fully off the accelerator, ur injectors r leaking tiny drops (possibly from the o-rings or internally)

has your fuel economy changed?

Completely normal for a lightly modified skyline, with some light taps of the accelerator on deceleration I can get some decent backfires. Under normal deceleration mine doesn't make to much noise, but because I always hell-and-toe to match RPM when changing down gears it's pretty typical to hear me pulling into slip lanes with a loud series of put-pop-pop-pop-put-pop-pop.

On cold nights with a well timed gear change it's not uncommon to get a decent "fwop!" kind of noise as the fuel in my exhaust ignites.

...stopped doing it???????????

OH NO! Now something has gone wrong!!!

lol ;)

Hahaha. Thats what i thought. :thumbsup:

But in all seriousness, i've been in quite a few RBs, and none of them made this noise. Oh well, she'll be right. :cheers:

I had the exact same issue a couple of days ago(when it was stinking hot)

The car was outside all day.

I found it hard to start, had to actually pump the accelerator pedal to get it to fire up

Would pop multiple times on low de-acceleration (1.5-2k rpm), it drove on boost fine.

Next morning it was back to normal again - I think it was heat soak.

Excellent.

could also be an exhaust leak somewhere. that is a common cause of popping on decel. a mate of mine had a cracked header in his falcon and it would backfire and shoot flames about 2 foot out the exhaust when he lifted off. was somewhat amusing to watch at night.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
