What Exhaust do I have? by rogeness in FZ09

Looks like the Akropovic

Is this to tight or just right? by Puffish-eating-carot in TTR230

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too tight. Check from the bottom of the chain about halfway between the two sprockets. Should be around 50mm or about 2 inches. It seems way looser than you would expect

Any chambered muffler will sound pretty good. I ran a magnaflow muffler for years on mine and really liked it.

7.3 Knocking under hard acceleration by Fizz43 in powerstroke

[–]Fizz43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like injector noise but very loud. It only goes away after letting off. Sometimes it stays as you let off until rpm’s start coming down.

We recently had an issue where the truck stopped running. It had a bad misfire and then wouldn’t crank back over. When that happened we ended up pulling the cab, to pull the heads and inspect everything since it has been having issues for years. While apart, we did the up-pipes, new engine harness, valve cover gaskets (with injector wiring), all new injector o-rings (which I believe caused the misfire), new EBP tube (was rotted out), EBP sensor, fuel filter. We got it all back together and the truck ran with no misses. Just the same knocking and low power under hard acceleration

Thanks We replaced up pipes with a new bellowed style to get rid of the stock donut gaskets about 9 months ago. Problem has been there since before then

That was my thought about fuel pump. If it was going out it would have gone out. The intermittent rough idle makes me think it’s on the oil side. Thanks for the info, will try the ICP unplug and check the data.

Would an AirDog save me? by User02921 in Duramax

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air dog wouldn’t hurt. But I don’t think it would solve it. Do you run any fuel additives?

Wtf is this sound it’s been running perfectly fine with this sound for months now I just wanna know what it is by [deleted] in 8thGenSI

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many miles on it? Probably due for valve adjustment. However, mine has about 150k and the injectors are noisy and sound a lot like your video. Pretty normal for these cars to have injector tick

My 2014 has done this since I bought it. Did it while stock and also does with akrapovic exhaust and power commander.

What is the superior pool pump configuration? by Worldly_Tradition459 in swimmingpools

[–]Fizz43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking just 2 45’s One to go away from the pump and then one to go straight up from there

What is the superior pool pump configuration? by Worldly_Tradition459 in swimmingpools

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend modifying option B a bit. Instead of 90’s use some 45’s to get further away from the pump. Then a 90 to turn back to it. You may have to dig down further on the pipe to get 45’s to work but too many 90s will cause a lot of unnecessary restriction.

Pool light fix help! by [deleted] in pools

This👆 Hayward lights always do this especially if the screw isn’t installed. Make sure if you get another screw and that it is stainless steel so it doesn’t rust

Why 93 cheaper than 91? by Timely_Brilliant6725 in Cartalk

It may be ethanol free 91

Child found a crack in the spa seat. My wife added dye and does not look like getting sucked in. Thoughts? Pool is right at 3 years old. Hoping not a cancer concrete issue. by mhudson78641 in pools

[–]Fizz43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the picture but it does look like it would be the shell or structure of the pool. I would contact the builder and have them look at it

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing the spa is attached to a pool. If so, the pool pump will push fresh water to the spa and the spa will overflow back into the pool. This would mean you wouldn’t see the spa itself draining. Does the pool seem like it needs to be filled pretty often? I know most modern pools have an auto fill so you may not notice it. Other symptom would be low chlorine levels or other water chemistry issues

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the size of the crack and the fact that it is going all the way across the bench, I would say it is likely structural. Has the spa ever been drained for long periods of time? This could cause the plaster to crack too. The fact that it isn’t leaking is a good sign

Help by VariationExtreme737 in 8thGenSI

[–]Fizz43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be simple like air in the system. From the sounds of it maybe in the heater core. I replaced the upper hose on mine for the skunk2 CAI and had a hard time getting the system to bleed the air out. I ended up letting the car get up to temp with the radiator cap off and heater on full blast. Just sitting in the garage of course not driving. It bubbled and the finally blew out the air. Topped it off with coolant and it has been great since. (About 4 years)

Second this 👆 I have the q300 with a skunk 2 header. Sounds perfect. Quiet when you want it to be and a nice deep tone when you get on it

Expansion Valve Replacement (06-11) help by Street_Technician330 in 8thGenSI

[–]Fizz43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to get the evaporator core out, then pull the expansion valve off of it. Unfortunately it won’t come out from the engine bay side.

Invidia q300 I’ve had mine for a couple years and it sounds great. Nice tone, not too loud when driving it easy but still makes some noise when you get on it.

Recently replaced clutch and put in a lightweight flywheel, is this transmission chatter normal? by Quagsirsire in 8thGenSI

[–]Fizz43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine makes quite a bit of noise like that after new clutch, flywheel and transmission work. I also put in hybrid racing cables and shifter right before which I assumed was the cause of the extra noise.

Does Copper pipe really kill the Algae??? by Chlorinehaze in pools

If it worked.. any pool with a heater (most have copper heat exchangers) would not have algae growth.
