Help! Detonation!


snowflake009

Recommended Posts

I had my bp  legacy in for a tune the other day at Dtech and they can't put timing in as it detonated like a b**ch. Mods is upgraded turbo. Fmic. Intake. Fuel pump. Decap injectors and full exhaust inc headers and up pipe. They done a back pressure test and that checked out ok. My boost gauge is tapped off the fpr reg vac line so will change that and Chuck in some colder plugs. Has anyone had this problem or could point me in the right direction as where to start looking?

Been thinking about this after talking to Tony, surely the most logical issue is the decapped injectors putting out a F***ed up spray pattern and not atomising the fuel very well. Sounds like they exhausted most other trains of thought. Did they only just get done when you had it at DTech?

 

Tony reckoned it was detonating like it was filled with 91 but had been filled with BP98 just round the corner correct?

Yeah has 98 from bp tauriko. Decaps crossed my mind too but i trust they done a good job. They done them there before the tune.

Running 98? Any history on an engine rebuild or timing change? How new were the plugs?

Egbp test pre and post turbo?

Engine hasn't been rebuilt as far as I'm aware and timing belt with all the bits n pieces was done about 30000kms ago. Back pressure test was before turbo. Plugs are about a year old ngk ir6b's. Will check them out and do a compression and leakdown test in the next week just to be sure but last time it all checked out ok. Is there any way to check the afm without a scan tool as I was told a faulty one could affect timing as well as the obvious afr

Wouldnt have thought it would be maf. If it was lean causing det that would be obvious with the wideband vs tune. Worth trying another in there but your fuelling tables would be way off compared to what one would expect for power/airflow if that were the issue.

I'd go grab a genuine air filter and some CRC afm cleaner and give it a spray.

Will give it a clean tho can't go factory air filter with intercooler piping in the way.

Tho if there was a delay in the reading it could lean out enough to det and not pick up on the wideband. After det it retards the timing so would be hard to pick up. Just an idea anyway.

Yea can give it a go in mine. Don't really think it's the issue though. AFR's are sweet so can't see it being the issue. 

You know when it starts detonating? Above a certain RPM?

Cool thanks. Will give you a txt. Just want to eliminate it as a problem as I don't have a way of testing it. They said anything over 150kw. Not sure about revs etc

Post up pics of the engine bay and dyno graph if you can/want to. Could help but more just to satisfy my curiousity.

Haha yeah I will do shortly

Went and did another couple of logs with my MAF back in and it cut out at the same point so it's definately an issue with my car rather than the MAF. I know my battery is stuffed and have heard of that causing RomRaider to play up at WOT so probably just a result of that. 

The readings from yours were basically identical to mine up till it cut at ~3900rpm each time.

Thats good to know. just out of curiosity whats a set of bigger side fed injectors worth and where to get them from?

Not to play the dickhead but I would wonder if its had an n/a block put in it or the timings off. 

how would i tell if its a n/a block or not? without stripping the motor of course. checking the timing marks is on my to do list.

Would a higher comp N/A block not give a considerably higher figure with a compression tester?

Does it actually need bigger squirters at this stage? 

 

Have you done a pressure test on the whole intake? 

 

Have you checked fuel pressure once it comes on boost (fuel pump or reg being sad?)

 

 

The tuner would pick that up; it would show in the AFRs.

 

"random" knock is a really hard one to pin down; pretty long list of possible causes.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
