Intake done in December. I think the ping was before the intakes went in.

Even if it was after...wouldnt the ECU be picking up the different intake and adjust accordingly? I reset the ECU a couple of times since then.

Ping only at low revs...1.8k to 2.3k? higher revs/speeds no ping.

Nope, have not changed spark plugs/fuel pump at all.

Got the car Nov 2012. Car is a 2007 V36. Got it with 36k kms on the clock.

I'll try United P100 and see what happens. Will try to clean MAF and throttle body on the weekend and proceed to spark plugs and fuel pump if all fails...

Is there anything I am missing? Should I try stock air intakes?

Maybe try running some Subaru upper engine cleaner through it? Get rid of some gunk built up in there (and give you a nice clean intake manifold while you are at it - might not fix it, but for under $20 it is worth a try) My V35 ran beautifully afterwards

It also depends on where you bought it as to whether it really has 36k on the clock - it costs under $100 to get this changed. If you have more km on the clock, there are other things that could be more built up in the engine or things that could be wrong. Obviously at 36k it should be basically a brand new car ...

Ok ill try checking the AFM and the cleaner. I dump in Nulon Fuel System Cleaner and 44l of P100 last night. Lets see what happens over the next few days.

I bought the car on auction from Japan. It was checked for genuine KMs by computer system. Whether or not it's genuine, can't really be that sure but yes essentially the whole car looks brand new and nothing was modded or been touched.

Could the the timing yes, one of the more common causes...

Mine has zero mods, its just my daily and I haven't had it for long, but being a high comp engine with Japanese ecu tuning I'm not hugely surprised by the ping on crappier fuel. But I will look at spark plugs and intake clean soon

The Mirage on the other hand has been driving me nuts. I have changed the plugs, plug leads, dizzy cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, checked the timing, three rounds of intake cleaning (two at home and one with a pro machine) and full bench injector clean with new o rings etc... yet, still pings :rolleyes:

Next step - colder plugs and oxy sensor. No luck with cheap OBD2 adaptor either

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
