Detonating already?????????
Ok, so as you know, i just finished my drag 3 install on my gsr.
When driving low rpm and low gears(1,2 and sometime 3) I hear a little ticking raspy sound, only at around 50-60 percent throttle. But when I step on it, everything sounds normal. This all happens under boost. When I hit around 1 psi it seems to go away
Im confused.
Please help me out, thanks.
Im waiting for the car to cool down so I can check the tial wastegate gasket. On my last gsr the gasket would blow out really quickly.

Are you making boost in low gears at low rpm at 50-60% throttle?
Does it sound like detonation or an exhaust leak?

I do make boost in low gears.
I dont know if its pinging or exhaust leak since I do not know what they sound like. It is a very faint sound.
Yes I did install the kit myself, and there really isnt much I can do wrong on the install. Its all very straight foward. I have not retarded the timing. I did not know I was supposed to, since the drag install manual told me to leave at stock timing.

I ran 14 deg btdc static for safetey when I didn't have hondata.
It's probably not pinging. How was your downpipe fastened up to the rest of the exhaust?

All the DRAG bolts sux! I have replaced my tial bolts and turbo to downpipe bolts with stuts and copper nuts. Nowit is working. I was sooo frustrated on my tial gaskets,. I have replaced them 3 timen within 3000 miles. Always the dman bolts gets loosen and the gaskets blow. Fix it the 1st time with stuts!
