[Mk2] [Turbo] Odd pop from my exhaust???!

Post by 2Crooky »

Car was fully warm but i hadn't really been giving it the beans.......

As i came up to a roundabout i let off the gas(no i don't mean i farted!!! :lol: :-s ) upon which the exhaust gargled and popped a bit......

Upon acceleration out of the roundabout the exhaust emitted a loud and very sharp pop!! :shock: Not like any pop or bang that i usually have from over fuelling but much louder and more crisp!!

Car feels exactly the same as before but it just shocked me a little :)

What do we think??? Just a hot exhaust and the odd freakish pop from the tip?? :thumleft:

Maybe a flame?

I get the weirdest gurgle always at 2600 to 2850 rpm, its like when you hum into a drink through a straw and it bubbles up.

only popping i get is a quiet one when i re-apply gas after braking or 'coasting' or just backing off (never happens).

how would you know you have flames?

depends how rich / how much unburnt fuel enters your hot exhaust.

but yes decat and boost increase (as the car will overfuel to be safe) are the main ingredients

Bry's car was remapped with a hybrid turbo and bigger cc injectors - so even more fuel .. hence the actual FLAMES - not just a pop..


this can be mapped out / toned down if your mapper is asked - i know Bry said - hell leave it as it is ! :lol:

:twisted:

I don't keep enough fuel in the tank to get the exhaust hot enough to spit flames :lol: :(

I should have a Nur Spec by the end of the month but are these notoriously hard to get flames from???! I have never seen a flaming Nur except for on an NA!! :shock:

Just as well though! with the angle a Nur Spec exits, on the motorway you would be cookin the person overtaking you :lol: :twisted:

Should be running by end of month -

Rev 1 tubby with AFM
Blitz Nur Spec
Blitz Decat pipe
VTA BOV
HKS Mushroom filter
1.05bar boost 8)
Magnecor leads
Grade 7 iridium plugs

This a good list for some flamage??? :D :-s

Doubt your get flames from a Nur mate because of the pipe length. I've never seen any out of mine (xxxx loads with my old Apexi N1!!) but your have plenty of pops and bangs!! :twisted:

Get em all the time once shes warmed up!! :twisted: 8)

All to do with Robs mapping - He loves a litte extra fuel on the overrun to cool the cylinders 8)

On my map with the extra fuel on the overrun I get backfires like grenades sometimes. They even make me jump :twisted:
