Re: Ticking when warm

The ticking sound has gone away 2mad. It's just the weird rattle above 3k revs.. The car is going into a garage on Wednesday for a dyno run to sort the downpipe from catching the wastegate, and I'll ask them to check what could be making this noise!

Re: Manual boost controller

I too have one of those boost controllers and have absolutely no issues. I used the following document when setting mine up. http://www.twosrus.com/Articles/Installation_Instructions/MBCinstructions.PDF Fairly easy, just have to read parts over a few times and grab an understanding of how it works. ...

Re: Ticking when warm

Lol so just went out for a little drive as i've recently fitted a berk exhaust so lots of pointless trips atm, and i was getting a bit fed up with it always ticking at me at the traffic lights. So got to the dually, hit 3rd, drove to about 4.5k revs and nailed it to the red line and hit 100 and slow...

Re: Ticking when warm

Could be the intercooler rattling I'll go and see if it wiggles about. I've heard it being a common problem, but only on the greddy ones? Never heard of the stock intercoolers having this problem.

I thought it might have been a cracked manifold but was told this was only on the rev 1s?

Ticking when warm

Can anyone diagnose what it could be if the engine is ticking when warm? I drove 300 miles at the weekend which I think has caused it somehow, as it's only started ticking louder since then. The last time I did an oil change was 1500 miles ago, but I'm going to do another one anyway just to rule out...

Re: Porting wastegate

It's being taken to a place who've dealt with this before, so I'll update on here what they do so anyone in future knows what to do.

Re: Porting wastegate

No it's a japspeed downpipe with a berk exhaust to the back. Japspeeds are known for fouling

Porting wastegate

Fitted a japspeed downpipe to my rev 2 tubby which raised the boost to 15psi due to the wastegate not being able to open properly, and now with the addition of a Berk the pressure has risen to 17/18psi because I think the wastegate can no longer take the pressure of the airflow now. I've contacted a...

Re: Manifold Warp GEN 2

Okay Draven, thanks for clearing it up. Just heard it was a common issue with some of the earlier 2s as a ticking noise has risen.

Re: Manifold Warp GEN 2

Not sure bud, that's why I've come here.. :)

I have also mentioned that it's the right side of the car, but no worries. To confirm, yes it's the drivers side. The right side. Sorry, did I say that it's the right side? ;)

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go.

Cheers

Manifold Warp GEN 2

Recently my gen 2 turbo has been making a ticking noise when warm that sounds like it's coming through the side air vent if you listen closely when out the car. I've done some research and have read that a warped manifold is common the 91 and 92s, so I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on th...

Re: Rev 2 Turbo Gearbox

Cool, thanks for your help.

Can I only ship from the US for these parts then? Any other UK suppliers?
