Hey all, SHoved one of my old tunes by greenfoam in my car.... My injectors have gone from 17lb injectors to 22lb...


Exhaust popping/crackling eg: v8 supercar style = Running RICH?!?!?!

In first gear at about 3000-5500rpm when i ease off the accelerator...

Sounds ok.... LoL but should I be worried.

Laggy down low(can't spin off the line).....

Crazy mid-top end(drop it from 2nd to 1st at 4 and punch it with wheelspin)....

Cheers
MaT

yay my VT does it, i got a 2 1/4 cat back with a 3" high flow muffler. When i back off the gas at about 2500rpm - 3000rpm it pops like a turbo. I like it coz when you plant it, it sounds like a v8 turbo ha ha!!

A popping exhaust is running lean on decceleration, there's not enough fuel to explode in the chambers so small amounts escape unburnt into the exhaust then once in a while they catch on fire and pop. It's just because that tune was one of the old ones when I ran my car in open loop and the fuel map is setup like that, but even a stock chip will do it. Ps I wana see how fast or slow your car runs on a gtech :) do it!

Yeh, it may sound kool, but it woudn't be doing any good for your cat/zorst?

Hozy was saying in another thread that his cat was already stuffed, I guess now we know why. :D I get the occasional crackle out of my VN 5l if I back off suddenly from hard acceleration, but I generally don't drive it hard enough to do it. (lack of points ya see)
