Hey guys

For you that have had the avc-r installed

( Car r33 gtst auto)

I have not touched any of the settings, too afraid to f@#K it up.

But as soon as i put my foot down and floor it ,

theres a little ticking sound coming from the passenger side above the glovebox

My car never made this noise before and not sure if this noise is normal

when havin the avc-r on.

Also my engine at idle is hunting (engine popping), before i had my avcr on

I have taken to a mechanic and had injector cleaner through it, put this cleaner thing through the fuel tank to take out any moisture, and also change the Fuel filter.

Its still doing it, and not sure what else to try,

Im going to be taking the car to mercury soon and see if they can find anything

and put it on the dyno .

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes it is the solenoid, depending on the installation position and mountings will determine how loud it is in the cabin.. Basically when you hear the clicking, the AVC-R is gating the Wastegate Actuation feed with a variable Pulse-Duty cycle.. The frequency of this is 40HZ, hence why you can here it is a very fast clicking noise..

I take it your solenoid was mounted behind the front passenger side strut tower? In this position even if it is mounted on the rubber it will reverberate through the cabin as the wheel arch acts like a speaker.. On my 180, I mounted mine there due to room constraints elsewhere and I found that once I got used to the noise I only ever heard it when I was on the floor at low revs..

You should have a little play with the AVC-R, especially things like "Initial duty cycle" for gear specific boost tuning, with this ou can tune out boost spikes or tune them in slightly for higher gear changes to get a bit extra.. Also consider fitting and using the Scramble boost, I found this to be a great addition once fitted and set properly..

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
