GTR32X Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Hi guys and girls, I was just wondering if anyone has a Apexi Power FC in their cars and what the KNOCK LEVEL goes to. For some reason i think my knock may be abit high!! When it got tuned i told them just to do a SAFE tune, not looking for power just everyday drivability. Its in a R34 GTR i know that if probably wouldnt matter what car it may be in. But could you just let me know what car you have and what the knock level is Thanks so much Edited April 18, 2008 by GTR32X Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/215465-apexi-power-fc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_weevil Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey mate - Might get a better repsonce in the forced induction section! What knock levels have you been recording mate and what sort of driving was it? My car is just a 33gtst and normally on the road the highest I have had was around 60 because of bad fuel and a hot day. Normally see around 20 when I bring her out? At the track though.....different story! The knock sensor does and can pick up other noises which results in a high reading. I did a supersprint at Bathurst and on my high boost tune/setting got 88 knock...but that was going 9/10th's (ripple strips, going quite hard so good chance it picked up other noises and stuff) One point to remember is the frequency. How often do you get the high knock reading? Is it everytime you drive it? Do you know what the tuner has set the knock warning at? (Mine is at 60 and the engine light flashes) Hope the helps mate, Cheers!

GTR32X Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey Chris Thanks for your advice. Normally it sits about 20-30. On a hot day it hit 45 that was the highest. But once it hit 64 cause it hit cut off!! and the engine light is set at 60 But tonight was about 30-38. I was told that 40-60 was pretty high. So im just being cautious!! Thanks once again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/215465-apexi-power-fc/#findComment-3806848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_weevil Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 No drama's mate With that reading - 30 - 38 was it evertime you drove the car - like drive car then 30-38. turn car off. turn back on and it would do that again? If it reads constantly everytime you drive at that level, I'd be calling your tuner for a check up mate Cheers!
