whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just to be sure, this ticking sound is normal, right? I heard it's the lifters ticking and I remember it doing it always but doesn't do harm to ask. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/253693/glanza_stuff/ticking.mov Should it go away after driving some time? I think I can hear it inside when accelerating and letting the throttle completelly off (AEM afr doesn't give any reading at that point naturally, as the engine is braking and it's not feeding any fuel). It's the same ticking, just a lot denser, like trrrrrrrrrr. I'm using Valvoline 5W-40 oil and it's fresh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 nothing wrong with that mate sounds normal just a bit of a tap from an injector i think mine dose it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Exhaust manifold isn't blowing anywhere is it, like agains the head or onto the turbo?When mine started blowing on the mani to down pipe it made a clicking a bit like that, doesn't sound nothing harmful though.Mine is n/a but the theory is the same.

whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Cheers mate. I thought so too but getting a bit paranoid while driving the first few hundred km with the boost upped to 1.1 bar and running only with ported oem mani. Really don't wanna blow anything up. AFR's look good otherwise but at higher speeds and on full boost the afr goes all the way to 10, so it's quite rich then. EGT and/or oil temp gauge might give some more peace of mind?

whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Morgey: I suppose it's not blowing from there. My decat is blowing from against the turbo but that side it doesn't matter much? The Jperformance decat is a bit shit as it's almost impossible to get one of the bolts on as it's too close to the pipe...so it blows. Ticking has always been there just noticed it when boosting a bit harder and letting the throttle off. Had only heard it while idling. Is tha 5W-40 synthetic oil ok?

akyakapotter Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 grind down the nut mate thats what i done on my japseed one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ye might try grinding after mot as i need to put my cat back on to pass it. Meow. Mot is in a month and it's not blowing that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 i done this mate still quite a tight fit but it worked http://s164.photobucket.com/user/akyakapotter/media/null-21.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Could be the decat blowing making the clicking. Like i said mine was a 4-2-1 n/a manifold so its slightly different. 5w-40 fully synth should be ok but most people will reccommend 10w40 or maybe 10w50 if its taking some hammering all the time.

whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Akyakapotter, I couldn't even use the original nut as this was just pure utter shite. Had to blow torch it and hammer a big fat dent to get it even on them threads. Also the gap is so small between rad and decat. I had to cut a spanner half to be able to tighten it even this much as it is. Morgey: yeah I believe it's not the decat as the sound was there from start before putting the decat in. Just got a bit paranoid when rolling on 4th with no throttle and hearing the distant trrrrr noise. Thanks for the input anyway, didn't know blowing can make that kind of sound too! We learn every day.... ;) Edited April 24, 2013 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 think i done that one first and drilled the hole out a bit take a look at my for sale thread i put a pic up of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Oh right! Have also just ran a full tank of 98 octane with STP fuel system cleaner, if that counts...Now it''s only fuel. Edited April 24, 2013 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 think i done that one first and drilled the hole out a bit take a look at my for sale thread i put a pic up of it Oh rite I see. It's blowing from exactly same spot. Might try two gaskets and exhaus seal paste if I can't get it sorted other way...thanks! Might be interested in your mani actually, was it any good? I think I might try some different oil next time is it would calm the ticking down. What oil you're using, akyakapotter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I use 5W 30 I think lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitestar Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well if it's sortable I'd like to know, thanks! But while the sound is normal I'm not in a rush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Sounds like the idle controll valve on the left hand side of the inlet mani they all do it Edited April 25, 2013 by micky boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Try Forte or STP engine flush..or full forged rebuilt for peace of mind ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitestar Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Did forte flush and treatment last autumn, should be fine. And forged....give me the money and I'll do it. Edited April 25, 2013 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 With regard to that decat take it off, pop that nut in place and then push the decat so the stud meets the nut, then tighten it that way. If you get me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
