detination

[Redlinemotorsport]

hello.

i have a eg with a b16b.
recently i pulled the head off,
port polish and match to intake and exhaust.
Stage 4 buddyclub cams,
valve springs,
adj cam gears,
and retainers were put in.
Quad throttles were also put on.

i also have lightened flywheel
and lightened lower pully.

taking it to get tuned,
i have a very audible clicking sound when you rev the engine from idle,
then let off at around 1500 rpm.
the timing is right.
the cams have been dialed in.
anyone got any suggestions on what the detination is?
the tuner reckons that the mixtures are alright,
im running a hondata s300.
its not from the bottom end,
because i have driven the car for 30000 kms before i did the head.
any help would be appreciated.

who is tuning the car????????????????

i know it has nothing to do with it..................but i had same issue with my boosted b18c7...............

ticking noise (detonation) even whilst reving in nuterual gear

james from hondata is tuning.

[bennjamin]

why ask us here ? Ofcourse its "james" issue. He has to fix it. You are paying him to....take it back and complain.

james from hondata is tuning.

well he sure does know what he is doing..............

my issue was rear exhaust housing on turbo was too small, and the design of my dump pipe was cause too much back pressure and sending it back into the motor, hence detination...................

urs is NA................so u got different issues all together..................

i hope u work it out asap...............

james is pretty good with his work.,...................

[Redlinemotorsport]

problem is that he doesnt want to continue tuning it with the detination.
so i have to take it back from james (on a towtruck)
to my mechanic,
then when my mechanic finds the problem
truck it back to james.
i was just hoping that someone here with alittle bit of knowledge about this sorta thing could mean that i can fast track my mechanic to the problem

cumon ben..................................y point the blame..................

the guy is asking for advice...................not critism on the tuner.............

and if the tuner dont wanna continue tuning, there must be a reason...............

[Redlinemotorsport]

thanks.
thats right.
your milans friend arent u?
i know milan from hondatec.

i know that there is a reason,
and thats fine,
but alittle bit of help wouldnt go astray would it?

yeh im good mates wit milan........................

did u get ur car built at hondatech?????????????

if i had a solution for you, i would spray it...............but i unfortunatly dont...........

if the issue has arrised since the new head, or head work, i would go to the guys that built it, or put it together, unless it was you...............

its a pain in the arse.....................but hey, if it aint right to tune, it aint right to tune.........................

let us know how u go

[Redlinemotorsport]

a guy called steve built my car.
he now works at hondatec,
i know milan alil,
been on a few drives with milan.

the problem im getting is that james is saying that its the head installation,
and my mechanic is saying its the tune.
so yes.

[IEVAQ8]

mmmmmmmmmm...............from what james tells me it cant be the tune.............

im not a tuner myself, but i understand enough........................it may pay to take head off and check clearences and valves collets and double check it all over again...............

if it was a tuning issue, james would be able to fix it for sure..............

i have seen his work many times before.......................

thats my 2 cents

maybe someone else can give some advice...............and not slag the tuner

i also vouche for james and his work, top bloke and top tuner. it is for sure an installation issue...
