Ultimate budget build.

[Danny]

So any options to get me through to next paycheck? Besides keeping my foot out of it?

Octane booster?

[Farbin Kaiber]

There will be if you keep driving it. I remember hearing these same sounds in some performance cars that have octane requirements.

[Danny]

There is no evidence of detonation on the spark plugs.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Ok so there is a weird sound when I'm under boost at high rpms.

It sounds almost like little rocks going through the intake or hitting the fender.

Any ideas?

See post above yours...


It's called "detonation", or pinging.

Danny, you are fukin crazy. I can honestly say, I was not brave enough to diy a turbo setup while still in highschool.

Haha, I had a DIY e28 535i turbo in HS. Used to keep pretty even with newer f-bodies on a good day. 545i FTW!







It was also a piece of shit that blew 2 motors in the 2 years I had it. Not catastrophic failures but failures nonetheless. Motronic tuning FTL.

You need to "budget" a few dollars for some foaming engine degreaser, I don't want to see this thing go up in oil leak related flames. Shit's extra hot in there now.
