Sound of detonation

[HyBridEX]

I too was paranoid as hell when I got the blower put on the B16. To be honest I didn't notice the valve ticking at all UNTIL I got the blower out on...talk about being paranoid.

You should be able to hear the valves when the car is sitting there idling. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have the valves adjusted.

I would say it sounds more like sand hitting tin foil. Kinda of a fant sound crackling comming from the engine.

That is a great description. If you haven't had your valves adjusted in the past 15K, or so, miles. . . then you probably should. It's even more important if you drive at higher rpm's a lot.

I think I've found out what it is.

Apparently the AIT relay that clicks at ~1 pound of boost.

If you keep the boost at ~1 pound.. it'll tap like a telegraph.

I think that might be what I've been hearing.

Yep, I used to have that problem when I first got my blower installed and it eventually went away. Don't know what that's all about, but there are a couple people on here that have had the same thing happen. THere was a post on it a while back.
