FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 16y Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 02/01/12 04:57 AM Share Posted 02/01/12 04:57 AM yes this is yet another question about engine noise....have been searching for a problem similar to mine but that's all I have really found - similar problemsI am getting a ticking noise (sounds like a plastic tab flicking on a bike wheel - yes old school style) coming from the engine region....It only happens when:engine is warm (not cold)It starts at 1psi and the sound becomes faster as it goes up to 10psi (which my current tune is on)I took my process west race intake off and made sure nothing was touching turbine etc all seem fine. I possibly thought it could be a bit of movement in the turbo shaft and turbine.Current mods to car:exhaustintake + intercooler + plenuminjectors12psi actuatoractuator modfuel pumptune Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78363-yet-another-engine-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 16y Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 04/01/12 08:22 PM Author Share Posted 04/01/12 08:22 PM Ahh sorry forgot to mention most important peice of information - thing to remember is yes it does only happen when engine is warm BUT its not every single time the engine is warm. Its a random draw whether it makes the noise or not. But when it does make the noise it wont stop until engine is cold.I think that would cross exhaust leak outIll check the bolts but unless one is loss I wouldnt think it would be that??Unplug boost solinoid? is that safe to drive with it off? lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78363-yet-another-engine-noise/#findComment-1176934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean even if the car is switched off? If so how long does it run while it's switched off? I'm thinking cooling fan.. or Expansion/Contraction of something metal.. If you've got a stainless exhaust they expand alot when heated so maybe it's fouling on something?
