Have a stock exhaust on my car, but bigger front mount and boosted to 10psi at about 4k rpm. after 4000rpm there's a shockingly loud noise, i can hear it through my open window. sounds like a machine gun going off from under the car. back pressure from the stock exhaust (once had a 3'' cat back) or something more sinister? also, car loses no power...

Loose bolts on turbo or exhaust manifold.

I think it could be a blown gasket in the exhaust somewhere leaking, or like I said back pressure going back to the turbo. But im not really an expert. don't think my iphone mic would pick it up cause the wind noise would be a factor i reckon..

backpressure = silent killer

kidding. it doesnt make any noise..

id say ask a mechanic as its extremely hard to e-diagnose a noise in these cases. as already noted, it could be denotation/exhaust leak/rattling bolts/machine gun hiding under the car.

:action-smiley-069:

You have the extremely common peak torque misfire.

Caused by bad spark due to spark plugs, spark plug gap, coil packs, ignitor, increase boost on stock ecu causing massive overfueling making the mixture even harder to ignite, boost leaks etc will also cause the car to run even richer etc also compounding the problem.

Start at the start and work your way through the list, I am confident it will be one of these things. Misfires are still very loud with a stock exhaust.

Really bad detonation?

Detonation is never loud, it is just a pinging noise like marbles in a can.

Also you can't hear back pressure, back pressure is just high pressure in the exhaust. Blow into a straw vs blowing through a pipe, does it make a machine gun popping noise? lolol

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
