I've already checked the archives but can't figure out
the proper search term to find the info I want.
Everything comes up with so many matches I can't sift
through them all.
My '93 SE-R is making noises (detonation I think)
under load. Even mild acceleration in 5th gear does
it. It sounds like there is a pebble in one of the
cylinders. Cruising on the freeway at 65 its fine,
give it a little gas and you hear it. It just keeps
going as long as you're on the gas. At first I
thought it was because I live in Hell...I mean Phoenix
(its hot as hell) but it was doing it tonight at 10 pm
when its only about 90 degrees out.
Engine temp never moves. I have the NISMO radiator
and 1.2 bar radiator cap. Fresh coolant/water.
In the last 6 months I've done new water pump, plugs,
wires, cap, rotor, injectors. Has about 94K on
engine.
JWT POP intake, timing bumped to 17.
Should I take the timing down to 15 first and see if
that helps? Shouldn't the knock sensor retard it
anyway?
Is it time to get a Spec V?? :)
thanks for any help,
Jason
