My car has recently picked up a ticking noise but only when its boosting? i havent lost any power its just really annoying! anyone know what the problem is?

Do you have an electronic boost controller??? If so i bet its the valve opening and closing!

I hope that helps

Its a Blitz Dual SBC spec R, its never played up before only since installing a new HKS actuator kit??

If its the boost controller then its fine! is the ticking constant?

what sort?

the AVC-R's make a bit of noise.

could also be a gasket somewhere on the turbo end

I was also refering to the AVCR, no idea about the blitz items though

If its the boost controller then its fine! is the ticking constant?

Only when i'm accelerating and it comes on boost! driving off boost no noise.

At a guess id say its fine! expecially as its only when its on boost!

I hope that helps!

Yep does sound like the solenoids of the EBC.

Does it seem louder or should I say more noticeable in say 4th or 5th ? ie driving off boost then coming on boost in these gears ?

If it is the solenoid than you shouldnt really notice it in 1st or maybe even second gear as you hit boost too quick and the exhuast/induction noises take over.

I currently have a Blitz ID3 (should use same dual solenoid) and previously had an AVCR in the car. I have to say the avcr was quite noisy compared to the blitz item but regardless the blitz makes it as well.

Just wondering if anyone has an EBC that uses a stepper motor ??

eg HKS EVC.

Interested to know if the stepper motors make any noise......

Anyways in regards to the noise, one way to "fix" it is to use rubber mounts.

A mate of mine had his AVCR rubber mounted and I couldnt hear a thing.

He had stock airbox so no almost no induction noise and his exhuast was quieter than mine.

last time my car made this ticking noise was about 2 weeks ago, found out i had a cracked fin on my turbo, need a new turbo now.....but mine was more like a whine not a tick, and only comes on at boost!!!!

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
