maybe i did not make myself clear enough on this topic.
Nissan designed the RB25 to have 185ish kw @ engine to work with the standard ecu. They also designed the knock sensors to pickup knock frequencies for a complete stock engine. at 165kw at the wheels your knock sensors will be sending the correct data to the stock ecu with no problems!
Joe blow - YOU. gets to a point in his car modding career where he needs a power fc to take advantage of the modifications. These modifications include.
FMIC
turbo back exaust and high flow cat
high flowing pod filter with cai
boost pressure turned up from 8psi to 14psi
high flow turbino
cams
etc
etc etc etc rah rah rah rah
OR ANY OF THE ABOVE
So your new setup is going to make 195 - 260kw at the rear wheels +, but hey! lets rely on the stock knock sensor frequencies to pickup engine noise as knock and tune the car accordingly.
How about, lets NOT. Lets turn the knock sensors off and stop wanking about the knock levels your heaps fully sick power fc hand controller gives out, to impress all the wog bitch's and dickheads out there.
how about we tune the engine the way it is supposed to be tuned ?
Sounds better to me.
tell your tuner to turn the knock sensors off, run proper knock sensor detection device that he can listen to and tune the engine with the torque graph's on the dyno.
I aint here to tell people how to tune cars, but there are a sure hell of alot of people who got it all wrong and its hard for the tuner to keep his customer happy when the customer goes on the internet and believes all his mates and mechanic's down the road when they say "ohhhh 90 knock mate, your engine is going to explode!!!" bad tuner bad tuner bad tuner!! "call him a salmon"
Its not going to explode. maybe if you saw levels of 100 - 200 when comming onto boost EVERY time then maybe they can tell you something is up.
Does this clear things up a bit?
yes/no ?!?
