Non popo bango

[crankedup]

All my previous Tiv's have provided that lovely pop bang on the overun, thus far my recently purchased 4.3 Griff seems reluctant in this department. It's certainly up there with the exhaust note and noise just no pop bang??

Was the exhaust hot enough? If you take you foot all the way off the accelerator then fuel is cut completely until tick-over is achieved. Leave your foot slightly depressing the accelerator and you should find plenty of unburned fuel popping away in that red hot exhaust.

I shall give that a go Thanks TvrBob, can't recall that situation on my wedges tho but it was a long time ago so memory an all that.

I must say that I've not managed to reach satisfaction on this front yet either. Should they all do it? How long do you reckon it should take to heat the exhaust sufficiently?

my hillclimb car pops and bangs like a good 'un when it's hot.

i run it on optimax or super unleaded and a wee splash of octane booster. seems to pop and bang more on it than when i use standard unleaded.

dunno if you're already using optimax etc but might be worth trying it?

Its good to see that soaring fuel prices are making people drive more frugally

You definately need to offer a slight amount of throttle to get it to 'popple' if it doesn't do it automatically.

Guess what I'll be doing on the way home

It really bangs if you have the pre-cats removed and the silencer modified, but you do need to keep a small amount of throttle open on the cat RV8's to keep the fuel going in. Mine does it from cold!!
