Power Fc

[lineskee 33]

Hi all, i only just recently installed my power fc. Now i let it do its self learn thingy right when i put it in, but i did not attempt to adjust any of the values. It runs perfectly when driving it normally but when i put my foot down a bit, the engine light flashes once or twice really quickly. so when it does that, the knock reading on the hand controller jumps over to the right hand side of the screen. I just need confirmation that the engine light is from the crazy amount of knock happening? i have been taking it easy lately, and im not too worried about it because im getting my new turbo put in with a fresh dyno tune in a few weeks. should i be panicking at all?

Are you hitting the rev limiter when you get a high knock reading because with mine when i hit or get close to the rev limiter i get a high knock reading and the engine light will flash i have been told that a soft cut rev limiter will fix this problem as i only get a high knock reading when im close to the limiter

yea it would be around 4000 - 5000 rpm, with hardish throttle. when at those revs with light throttle it wont do it. so this soft cut rev limiter, is that in the power fc? i dont recall seeing anything like that thats all. I was thinking about reducing the rev limiter to a lower number for the time being.

Yes, the engine light comes on when you have knock levels of 60 or above which isn't good. Generally ~40 is an acceptable level of knock. Hope you didn't do it too often & damaged anything. Just don't put it under too much load till you get that full tune or take some timing off.

Thanks for the help, ill just take it easy until i get my turbo and tune done. It seems to be rite just cruising round anyway. Im not confident enough to go tinkering with the settings on my power fc, i dont want to blow anything up.
