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

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
