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

no this engine is Mitchy's engine and it was turbo originally....but was rebuilt apparently.......the tuner said the head gasket which was used may not be as thick or someshite :D hahah but yeah still goes pretty hard right now :blink: my NA engine is still at my mates house from the transformation

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
