Odd engine Noise??

[craig306]

Hi guys, 
           I have a wired noise on the engine at about 4000-5000 rpm, its like a ticking noise but dont tick very fast!   this happens only when driving.

Er they're not really meant to rev that high, there's no power there anyway in standard tune. Is there anything besides the slow ticking, power drops or anything?

[Toms306]

Surely that's a typo? Is the limiter even that high on HDi's?

[Iceman299]

Why are you redlining a hdi? 

[craig306]

ive had a remap. i only take it that hi some times like in a bend, where you cant power off,

[Toms306]

If its only a stage 1 map you're still not making any power up there. Be better to hold the throttle steady if you're worried about LOOS on a fast corner.

Yeah, as above. No symptoms besides the noise then?

guys,
          i don't rag my car up to 5000 rpm, it was just a figure of speech  the ticking come in at about 4200rpm. i do look after my hdi. so i only go to that hi rpm some times.

Didn't say you did, just said revving it that high is pointless. Sounds like you've got a guilty conscience? Just teasing btw, don't worry.

I'll ask one last time before getting bored and giving up; are there any other symptoms?

hahah  no she runs very well just the ticking

Lol ok cool. Tbh all i can think of is excess back-pressure causing lifter issues, although that shouldn't really be a problem on a stage 1. Where's the map from? What exhaust have you got on her?

hoffmann race centre pipe, hoffmann de-cat pipe, sportex rear tailbox 3" the back box is a free flow. the map i got of my mate, he pays a subscription and gets them for this business

OMG, get yourself to Prosteve or Whippy and those are high revs for in the bends :O

[craig306]

this map still cost me £150! and it is a bit smoky lol

just found out where the map is from.

Quantum Tuning Ltd

is this bad??

[highwayman306]

I dunno mate, I have a map from SPtuning, its not bad but it is nothing like what the gods of maps can do. People swear by ProSteve and MrWhippy...there's another guy on here but i forget his name sorry, someone will mention him, think he has a J in his name or i could be completely wrong lol

[craig306]

i was going to goto ProSteve but hes 80miles away, i think i should off now

[highwayman306]

I think he can send you an ecu thats remapped and unlocked...or you send him yours...cant remember lol I'm just a fountain of knowledge, pffff

[Poodle]

He can do all sorts, he does a discount for members of this club, have a look in the for sale section. And 80 miles is nothing really, especially not in an hdi lol, twenty quid will do both ways.

I'd be surprised if it's back pressure with that, not sure what it could be now tbh.

[craig306]

20 quid for 160 miles, mine dose 256 for 20 quid but i will have to get up to him after i have fitting my FMIC.

[td163]

As mentioned but there are now only 2 mappers around as Mr Whippy is not doing them anymore I was told.

There's Pro Steve at hdi tuning (I have one of his) or jammapic at drevtech. Both guys car either send you the file online for you to upload yourself or you can go down.

I got mine over email as it was cheaper with 306oc discount
