hi,
sorry for posting this but i have been looking/searching deep inside the forum and cant find one solution regarding to my finding. hope somebody can guide me to solve the problem or give me certain guideline before i send my car to the mechanic.
currently im driving s15 spec r JDM with this mods,
stock turbo
stock injector 480cc
fmic
greddy boost controller profec b (boost set 0.8bar appx 13psi)
blitz pod filter
sard fuel regulator
3" trust zorst (de-cat)
stock ecu not yet remapped.
ok here is the finding, whenever i step on the pedal under certain boost, there will be some faint ticking sound coming out of the engine area. im not sure it is detonation or what coz i have never heard the sound of detonation before. but the sound seems like coming from the left-hand side of the car. and for info i place the boost controller solenoid on the left hand side. i read a certain article before about greddy profec b boost solenoid will make certain ticking sound under certain boost. but i just want to be extra caution. im very worried that the car is running lean, and the ticking sound is actually is not ticking but knocking. hopefully it isnt.
but from the mechanic who installed/set the boost contoller, my car is still safe to drive on 0.8bar boost. so i believe what he said and still driving the car but with extra caution now coz i dont want the ticking sound comes out by limiting myself the boost. i hardly press the pedal now worrying bout the ticking sound. hope i can get a good advice from u guys. thanx.
