lol. Maybe you should just disconnect the hand controller. Then you will solve your knocking. Just probably paranoid cause your monitoring it all the time.

Oh yeah be sure to keep your eyes on the road too.

So your going to get a de-cat pipe, you'll get some nice flames :blink:

hmmmmm i gotta pay for the members section ! hahah hmmm just a question top racing resolved the knocking issue by advancing the timing back to 13 instead of 18 so does that mean i lose power? the tuner said because my head gasket is too thin and when he advances the timing to 18 it will knock :D so in order to run more timing i need a thicker head gasket? hmmmm ahah .....lunjiao its not beign paranoid its my engine light it kept flashing when i chopped that v8 or the turbo ute lol my bro's like WTF is happening ur lights are going crazy ! hahahha so yeah looked at the controller and knock was like 80+ to 160+ so im like WOAH HOLY DAMN !!!

Cheers

I don't think you would lose power. At least your engine will last longer though.

Just get a new turbo and other mods for more power =P then you can take it to the dyno day when ever that is.

But yeah i guess you didnt get too bad on the dyno.

Less timing will make less power.

What your tuner was trying to say is, your compression is too high to run +18deg (btw he RETARDED your timing, not advanced it), a thicker headgasket will reduce compression slightly allowing you to wind more timing in. Less compression will also handle more boost but make less power off boost.

Your engine was originally NA wasn't it? this would explain the high compression, you will never be able to run as much boost or timing as a turbo engine as the compression ratio wasn't designed for it :P

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
