*off topic !
i was was in dubai in 05 , i went to the grande tour hotel !!
it was crazy !!! i had so much fun ( r&r there hahaha everything paid for )

 

Maybe a loose heat shield from the exhaust install?

 

nahhh, its really in the engine , more like a knock or some slight off timing ??? ( i dont know )

 

if you don't have anything lose in your engine bay causing a vibration your engine might be hurt, stop driving it and have it checked out

 

I have the same friggin noise. Next oil change gonna ask the dealer to look at it. Makes my car sound like it has a lawnmower engine in when its idle.

 

Wow, this thread has gone OT. Yousef, take the mods you made after 10k service off to see if it still makes the noise. If so, put stock pieces back on and take it to the dealer. Tell them it just started making this noise after your 10k service and that they need to look into the problem.

 

My car is 100% stock and it sounds like this as well. I also have the engine cover off, just a noisy engine?

 

wow thats weird, hopefully its something external with an easy fix. let us know what happens

 

glad u had fun! lots of great stuff in Dubai since 2005, u'll be amazed.


now i am confusing!!

3 MR owners confirm that their engine make the same noise

this may be common in MR!!

 

very possible.... :S
i ddont know .........ill get it checked by my step dad hes a diesel eng, for injenction.
ill let you guys know ,
buy the way i had very bad boost spiking ,at like 31 and not im at 24.8 with out a tune
i have an upper,aemintake,boostcntrol,test pipe

 

at 32000 km
and yes i drive it hard its my hobby! :P i love it

 

i checked my friend's Evo, same sound! i guess it is normal..

 

That is just a weird noise and I can understand why you made the thread. I'm guessing you didn't hear it until after your mods though. Of course you could have just been more sensitive to noises since you were expecting something to go wrong.

I'd still take it to a dealer and ask wtf to see what they say it is. Of course you'll likely get some BS answer.

 

You have a boost controller and hav the boost spiking to 31 psi without a tune?!?!

I would take that boost controller off immediately and get it tuned by a professional. The MBC is not needed with the X. One person has already trashed their motor doing exactly what you are, overboosting without a tune.

 

that sound is not normal.
Mivec shake but not that clanky sound.
it sound to me like the engine mount is bad (weird)
whatever it's take it to the dealer or an evox specialist.
