It's obviously the piston's fault, not the clearance. :P

Get on to your machinist/engine builder and ask him exactly what Piggaz asked above. My guess is he set it up loose because you want to lean on it hard, hence you will get a bit of noise.

very common for forged pistons, p2w ( piston to wall clearance ) will vary depending on the load / heat the engine will endure , Since forged piston expand with heat (more then stock) some builder will run a higher piston to wall clearance then recommended by the MFG so the piston will not hit the cyl wall when it will expand a bit more depending on the load / heat. This is what you call piston slap. It will quiet down as your car gets to operating temperature because of the expansion of the piston with the heat.

If the noise persists when hot, now that would be another issue.

I would like to know if you have the build sheet or could ask your engine builder what piston to wall clearance he is using for your aplication

Well the apparently hks gave pre cut rings for the 2.8 stroker kit.. I wanna hear from hks piston owners lol

I like the way you haven't answered how much piston to bore clearance you are running.

And aren't all piston rings "pre-cut"? They would be pretty hard to get on the pistons otherwise. Gap can only be adjusted by removing material!

So ask your machinist.....he set it up.

If you want to quieten it down you could always get new bigger pistons and rings and rebore/hone it correctly or friction coat the piston skirts which takes up a little clearance.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
