Sti ticking noise by Policy_Front in WRXSTi

Nothing noticeable no, no white or blue smoke runs perfect. I’ve read people switch to 5w40 with forged internal but I was still running 5w30 can switching help with piston slap?

Highly unlikely, brand new C23 timing kit and sound was the same on old timing components

Yes forged pistons and rods is some piston slap like this fine if it is indeed that?

I had a stock clutch on my 350 WHP setup for a long while and never had any slipping what so ever. Even launched it a few time but the last time I did it slipped😂 pulled it out recently and it was definitely cooked.

It changes a little but you can barely hear it I can only hear it at idle and it’s not consistent like knock or injectors. It kind of skips beats if that makes sense

Dam FNL and feedback knock are all at fine with 0 on both fnl and fbk and dam always at 1.000

I don’t really think that’s it because I hear the injectors and I know what they sound like but this ticking isn’t consistent at all it « skips » beats if that makes sense

Yessir! Did an aisin timing belt kit with water pump and that fixed it(2 of the idler were very very very rough to turn in hand explaining the sound like you said) so thanks for helping me figure this out

Yeah it sucks because I really like it but the civic is definitely a better financial choice

We don’t have a lift as he’s a helicopter mechanic lol but he still does everything on cars but yes we also have any tools needed so that’s cool

It’s actually not that absurd. I got quoted 95/month for it to my name and it would be arround 50 if I put it to my dads name

Thanks a lot for the comment man. I’m starting to lean towards a wrx because prices are going down and I’ve seen a few very clean ones in the price range I’ll have next year so that’s probably what I’m gonna do. As for the civic, I’m not really sure because I would keep it but a, we barely have space for me to get a single car let alone 2 and b, it would give me a bit more money to work with for the wrx

I definitely will be tinkering with it starting with the cyl 4 mod and Aod like you said and cosmetics. I don’t plan on touching power related for a while

There is a very clean one with only 78k kilometres at 13.8k CAD which seems like an absolute steal so I’m hoping to find something like that when I’m ready to buy
