As you come off the throttle it uses load points that have most probably not been tuned, as a result slightly detonating.

This is very hard to replicate on the dyno, one good reason the car must be taken for a street run to ensure everything is a.o.k.

One easy fix is to rip out 5degree's. If it does it thenyou know she's running a little too much ign. timing in the cells above the cells that wot uses.

as cubes said when you back off the throttle and clutch in theres a brief moment where the airflow meter "load" will drop but revs will at the same range so youll be in cell area say 15 across ish and 4 or 5 down which wont be tuned. a map trace would easily show you which cells and then you could just take out a few degrees there

No i am not hitting rev limiter, and it is slightly rectified when i quick shift, yes.

So obviously my tuner hasnt done a proper job? He should fix this free of charge? i just got the PFC n tune on friday...

As I said earlier.. its pretty hard to get it spot on unless you take it for a good road test, which many tuners don't. Even then under some rare circumstances such as brisk hills driving you may find your self using a load point that isn't usually used as a result it may have a slightly higher detonation reading.

Its hard to get it spot on. Takes time and tweaking.

Fair enough, we took it for a road test though with the laptop connected doing a map trace, no green highlighted sections... at one stage knock went up to 88 (not while tuning this was last night)

When changing gears i get a KNock spike on my PFC of about 60~80 sometimes...

Is this spike in between gear changes normal, or is something wrong?

Knock with throttle closed is irrelevant, no engine damage possible. Move on.

:D cheers :D

and it is slightly rectified when i quick shift, yes.

Most off us roll off the throttle quickly, we don't simply jump off it having it completely closed within a couple ms, I had to drop 2 degree's from the 2 load points above the load points used at WOT, around 3000-3500rpm from memory.

If I were to change and slap the gears quick i would not experience high knock readings. At first I suspected fuel injectors but it wasn't.

hey got a queston simlair topic any replies appricates with my power fc when running down through the gear ie engin breaking i get quite high knock ratings ie 40 withc is much highte then even when ime on it hard i get readings of like 15 thanks guys for your replys

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
    • Yeap, was me and the daughter getting coffee before heading to the new joint to measure up the fridge space and taking some pics that the solar installer wanted of the switch board
