car pinging question.

[StageIII4Me]

I have the gtrs kit. run 93 octane. I have the sps set to 6. When i punch it, I hear like a clicking noise. Is this pinging? It is happening in the higher rpm's with around 17-20 psi of boost.

What damage can this cause? Will it hurt anything if just for a few seconds to let off the gas? Is it possible something is damaged already?

It doesn't sound good. How do i fix this? lower the timing or increase the octane?

What spark plugs are you using also do you have a full exhaust and FMIC?

[StageIII4Me]

Yes i have fmic and a no cat 3 inch all the way back. Not sure what plugs they are although they were recommended with the setup.

have you logged it?

[StageIII4Me]

what should I log? Should i start logging until i can capture that pinging again? or should i avoid the pinging noise..

Put your timing setting down to 1 and see if it's still there.
