Thread: Whats this noise???

Ever since i got my car back from being swapped this noise has persisted. But i am now today really noticing the noise while i was doing a case relearn with my DHP. Is it knocking and how long does my engine have if it is?? Im not having any other engine problems or car problems at all. The car drives perfectly and is incredibly fast. Planning on changing my plugs and wires tomorrow. Hope its nothing serious. Here's the link to the video below

I don't hear anything out of the ordinary, what are your mods?

The noise i am referring to was the low ticking sound. I am completely stock with a ZZP Wizaired Intake.

I know the injectors can tick pretty loud, it sounds like my engine, lots of noise.

No it doesn't. Its only there at idle. When i gave it gas by moving the throttle you cant hear it at all. Is it something bad?

sounds normal to me

You'll know if something is wrong if you pull a spark plug out and the top of it is either missing or bent. If not...it sounds normal to me...the coupler on that blower might be one its way out though...but that's a $30 fix tops.

my car makes the exact same noise, mines been like this since i bought my car.

i have my camera closer so it sounds louder: M4H00418.mp4 video by Camerongtp24 - Photobucket

Sounds like injectors pulsing on and off to me. If you have an automotive stethoscope it makes finding noises alot easier.

Okay cool. I guess the sound is normal then. I was scared for a minute. Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it a lot.

I know that sound. It's the flux compactor spooling up.

Rotary. Doritos on a stick. Love it.

Also...instead of buying a engine stethy...just take a long screwdriver or dowl rod and set it against places...works just the same.
