Detonation?
I KNOW what Detonation is........BUT, How does it really sound and is it EASILY noticed?
I have heard all the "symptoms" people describe,...i.e, Marbles in can, tapping, clatter,pinging,etc.
But I have never really heard anything "abnormal' sounding in any car or motorcycle I have had that I could detect as Detonation/Preignition..
Is it THAT noticeable?, And if so WILL I notice a big enough difference in the normal engine sounds?
Im spooked!!!
Thanks Shotgun

I have the same question...Also is there any way to amplify the sound? Or a tool I can get that might help? I get a very small backfire when I shift from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to 5th. It will happen just after I hear the BOV make its noise…I hope that it is not a symptom of detonation. The backfire sound is really quiet, example if I am speaking so a person while driving at 60 mph I will not hear it, but take into account that I did sound proof the car…any help?
I have a 02WRX performance mods are as follows catless up and downpipe, exhaust, header, CAI, lightweight flywheel/act clutch, hks BOV on a STI TMIC.

you would hear it if there is not alot of other engine noise but if it's very light you may not hear it
If you want to know what pinging sounds like go ride in a newer chevy truck they spark knock like crazy.
Mike the backfire you hear is caused by your BOV venting to the atmosphere, the car runs rich because the FI system expects the exhausted air to be back in the intake system
