Part of owning a blown car is figuring out how to get that power to the ground , it can b a costly exercise after the initial cost of the blower , been there and done that and have been smoked by cars that have way less hp just because I couldn’t get the power to the ground and they can ...
Yah mate I’m hearing ya , the only real way to know is Dyno the car or put it down the quarter which I intend to do in next few months , have run it on the track apps built in to car and have run 12.3 at 194 kmh by not sure how accurate that is . Cheers
Yah mate , full tickford enhanced including Tickford 400kw tune . Can’t tell you that much as I didn’t drive it before it was tuned , but I am very happy with the performance and have had some runs with a mates supercharged falcon and gapped him every time from a dig . I was thinking of...
DI pump , all 18’s and up have it , some hear it some don’t , exhaust volume , driving style , manual or auto and surroundings can all influence hearing the pump ..
The 2k rattle is the direct injection that’s why it’s a 2k rattle, this is the revs where it comes in and resonates , similar to an exhaust that drones . If your pistons were scoring your bores you will know it in a hurry including oil consumption. Everyone needs to stop worrying and just send it.
I have similar issue mine is Tickford tuned but mine is mainly when I first get in the car hot or cold and drive through the gearbox for the first time after car has sat for a while , only lasts for the initial drive through the gearbox then it’s fine . I seriously know what your talking about...
In my experience, and I have had this happen to me , it was caused by the tyres being to wide for the rim , with a 19 inch 305 tyres should be mounted on 11 inch rim anything narrower will allow the tyre to blown out and walk on the rim especially at high speed under full acceleration.
I totally agree , even before I read about the 2k rattle , I heard my car do it driving 1st , 2nd gear out of a freeway service station and thought immediately that it was the DI pump , 2k seem to be the happy place where it resonates much like the drone in an exhaust.
Sounds like bbq tick , I would drop the oil and put 5w 50 in it , if tick still there add a bottle of Ceretek that should get rid of ticking . A lot of 5.0 get tick after oil change. Cheers
Had an RDO today and around 11am truck came up driveway with packages from mustang Motorsport, so got busy installed Steeda jacking rails and Steeda h-pipe , all on the garage floor so no photos sorry. Exhaust sounds so good now , very deep even at idle , just waiting on oil separator and I’ll...
Hi lads , I have a 2018 GT it had the tick slightly when I bought it 3000km but only when cold , and I hated it ,took away a lot of the joy of getting a near new car that I never thought I would own . 3500km changed the oil for Penrite 5w-30 full syn racing , tick changed with new oil became...
