Its a snake thats living under the plenum.

Send an Owl to Harry Potter and ask him to translate, he can speak Parseltongue.

Have you tried increasing the revs a bit to see if it does it above idle? Change the hose on the FPR?

Maybe post a video. Cars make all sorts of noises and people describe them differently so its hard to E-Mechanic it. But my stock injectors and my Nismo ones definitely dont hiss at all at idle.

There is a PCV hose that is plumbed into the rocker cover near the front of the plenum. It is connected via a push-in one-way valve.

Mine sometimes has a hiss from there- maybe have a look at that? Might have dislodged it/damaged it when replacing injectors.

If not, shoot it with a 12 gauge but leave one in the pipe in case the snakes are hunting in pairs.

I checked the lines and cant find the point of the hissing.

Might rig up some ear muffs with a hose on the end to pinpoint it.

Hermione rocked my world last night I just sent her to your place via platform 9 and 3 quarters.

Ohh and Game Of Thrones is an epic story of knights & dragons etc.

Recommend it heavily

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
