Hey, im having a problem with my RB20DET (R32 gtst) When i rev the car to about 4000rpm+ sometimes I get a popping noise from the exhaust. It doesnt seem to loose power but as you can imagine i am off the gas as soon as it happens!

Anyone got any ideas on what it could be? I was thinking faulty coil packs or Sparkplugs!

I just read another thread....

Another guy had same problem and faulty coil pack for him.....but also check about fuel richness, could also be a contributing factor.....not sure though....hopefully someone with more knowledge will post soon....:cheers:

Check all of the above, plug, coils etc

a mate of mine also had a similar problem, it would only occur now and then, it turned out to be the crank angle sensor had come a little loose at some stage and it had chewed all the gearing of the exhaust cam - result - new exhaust cam and CAS had to go in, and problem fixed

Check to see if the CAS is tight, or even pull it off and have a look at the splined gear inside, if its all chewed up, chances are thats your problem

had exact same problem with mine yesterday...... under load and at about 4000 rpm and REALLY badly at 5000rpm it would be popping and braking down on power delivery..... got it home after blowing smoke and dropping flames..hehe ...... changed the plugs and now she;s good as gold now.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
