Pushing it hard: Bubbling noise after 5500rpm ?


Recommended Posts

Posted this in General too, decided to move it here instead :)

When the engine is warm (ie NOT COLD) and I'm pushing it hard I get a bubbling noise coming from the engine above 5000rpm all the way to redline...

What could this be ?

I have a Blitz BOV, with standard BOV just disconnected... anything to do with this ? Detonation?

It's very concerning...

Pinging.  

Whatever you do don't try and produce that sound again or you may soon say farewell to a piston.

Get the timing checked. It sounds like it may be adavnced too far.

DAMMIT! you sure ?

It really does sound like a wet tube bubbling under water.....

... if so, where can I get it checked NOW. how do i check timing etc ? should I take it back to the dealers ?

Hey dude.

I good way of checking whether its pinging from timing is put some Octane booster in. Pinging should go away. if so then your timing is too advanced.

Too hot! Does it do it at night? If it doesnt could also mean its advanced timing.

Skylines are timed to 100RON not 98 so ur under fueling it for a start

Or you could take it back to the dealer and get their techs to retard the timing slightly until u can properly get it tuned.

Hmmm... Peoples descriptions of pinging varies, most would say it sounded like a faint rattle.

Taking it back to the dealers is never a bad idea if its an unusual noise not present when you purchased the car. They have at least a 3 month mandatory warranty and I'm sure the odd dumb question is better for them than forking out for a new motor under warranty.

pinging = marbles in a sock :)

well thats how id describe it

is it misfiring? if so then it could be plugs as the std boost setup on the R33 increases to 7-8psi over 5000rpm doesnt it? therefore if your plugs are shit theyre failing to produce a spark to ignite however this is obviously misifring

its always hard to diagnose these things on the net as no-one can actually hear it. definately take it back to the dealer, even if its nothing youre getting your money's worth!!

I think you should check the ECU for error codes stored in memory. I think these will have any codes from the knock sensor recorded. But first run some octane booster. I'll dig up the self diag proceedure for the Skyline mean while.......

thx mate :)

Under heavy acceleration, when the engines warm and over 5500rpm sounds a lot like pinging. As suggested try some octane booster and go see if it still does it, the key is if you hear it dont keep your foot floored back off immediately. If the timings been advanced it can be retarded by moving the Crank Angle Sensor on the front of the engine, if you want it checked Speedworks have a timing light so they can check it. I found out mine was slightly advanced, but only by 1 degree's or 2. (add's about 2-3kw@wheels).

what?? I disagree.

Your car shouldnt sound like its pinging over 5500?

Do not move the crank angle sensor if u dont know what u are doing as if u turn it the wrong way or too far the other way You can damage your injun!

Sorry Rob but u didnt specify which way u just said "by moving" and that would be a bad move.

Every mechanic has and can do timing if need be, just a little tricky doing it to cars without plug leads

Dont forget to Regap those plugs to .8!

well just went for a spin it kyms car nice

the sound is funny

its like air blowing a liquid.

and low and behold the blitz BOV is leaking oil.

Adam when yours was doing this, was this before after the tune job that saw the piston go bang?

nah after

with the blown piston there was oil being blown through the whole intake system, the only breather point was the BOV and hence it came pouring out. like that night @ KFC and the bonnet was dripping oil :D ahhh good times

oil through BOV is not good, if it isnt a blown engine then its blow-by and running std boost this would imply that the engine is worn. get it comp tested

Umm I'm no expert when it comes to blowing oil but can i throw a spanner in the works? I have heard when boost is risen sometimes oil can be a bit of a problem in the pipes, although your boost may not be touched could an oil catch can solve a problem like this? IMACUL8 was telling me all about these things and sound pretty good... could this at all prevent the oil coming out of the bOV or would that be a complete different set of pipes??????

As mentioned I'm no expert in this subject but just a small theory to ponder and trying to give a NOW fellow skyline member an extra hand :-).....

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
