After the instakllation of the GT-RS turbo i have noticed some pinging (the dash warning light is coming up when giving it a bit). I took it back for a re-tune, dropped the boost back to 1.2 bar and took the timing back a few degrees and richened the mixtures to i think 12.5 and there is still pinging. I raced at the creek last night and it pinged in 2nd gear at 4500 rpm to redline then the other gears it was fine. The tuner said it is that the engine is getting to hot?? any ideas?

I have done everything regarding fuel system. injectors, pumps 044 and standard, sard fuel reg, (filters, plugs, all oils, and gaskets were replaced when turbo was fitted). Have a Power FC for management. Dont have cams, plenum or anything like that. It does not ping when i put the boost to 14psi but when it goes up from that it begins, also you cant hear the pinging so its not bad at all just the slightest knock.

Not having a HC doesn't help much !

What fuel are you running, If you'r running down the strip i'd use BP ultimate + Nulon Octane booster, this stop detination :( - Could be a bad batch of fuel.

Other wise its down to the tune, you said 2nd gear... get you tuner to do the map tracer for second gear, find the detination points and pull 1º - 2º of timing & add more fuel in thoes load points.

:D

    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
    • If you are getting that sort of fuel usage, you might as well be back in the stagea
    • Looks good mate, those stainless lines must be a bastard to do neatly. Better get it to a track again sometime soon, I'm doing to Wakie day next Wednesday to see if the v37 likes cool weather better than hot weather....
    • If you've got spark, and you've got fuel, it needs once last thing to go vroom... Have you compression checked the motor?
