Dude I had the same noise on my freshly rebuilt s14 sr was lucky I didn't float a valve somehow one of my shims that holds the rocker was gone lol and it was making that noise. Does it get higher with engine rev? Hopefully it's not that but sounds the same plus ur ears my deceive u I thought it was on the last injector turned out to be on cylindr 2 intake side. Get a stethoscope and listen to it. Did it start out of no where? Or a recurring prob? GL

yes it does get louder with higher rpms, if i pull the valve cover off would i be able to see the problem?
i will check turbo to exhaust and i am missing a bolt in my mani to head

also i am getting TERRIBLE gas mileage, like wankel bad

and it isnt the wiring because i switched the connectors from cyl1 and 2 and it still made no noise from cyl 1

Both valvetrain and exhaust leak will get louder and faster with higher rpm’s.

The ticking noise sounds a little too fast to me to be in time with a lifter being flat or a missing shim, but not impossible.

You would be able to see a missing shim or a rocker arm knocked off but a flat lifter isn’t easily visible to the naked eye.

If you’re missing a bolt for the manifold to head, that’s one of the first places I’d look.

Easiest check is to feel around the turbo and manifold area for air being pushed out.

EDIT: bad fuel economy and loss of power is inline with exhaust leak before the turbo (head to manifold/manifold to turbo). You have an exhaust leak wich is causing your O2 sensor to read incorrectly, and you’re loosing air that spools your turbo.
