today i've installed SACFII and AVCR. i'm going to run 1.0 bar pressure on stock turbo, but there is some kind of a sound like iron knock... is it a detonation? i've also a backfire always above 0.5 pressure... hope the spark plug gap to 0.7 will fix it.

what i would like to know is will the lower gap (0.7) fix my problem of backfier or not?

btw, i'm trying to measure the A/F ratio with Apexi turbo timer :) thanks.

Check your A/F ratios, this could be your backfire.  Too much unburnt fuel.

can the detonation happen on rich mixture? because it backfires on 1.0 bar too but it looks like it detonate... it also backfires on 0.5 bar. i thought that detonation happen only when the fuel mix is too lean, but how then the backfire happens?

i thought audible detonation sounded like a tin can shaking around with nutz and bolts in it. could that sound be just vibration noise from the exhaust or turbo heat shield?

does your check engine light come on when you hear this noise? i've registered 150+ on my powerFC for knock and i've still not heard detonation. i believe you're alot more susceptible to detonation when you start advancing ignition timing.

i just can't imagine how an increase in boost and some fuel adjustments could be making the car detonate (unless you've taken out alot of fuel and your running a shitload of boost).

i wouldn't trust a/f ratios from a turbo timer. you are best to get it tuned on a dyno with the sniffer up the exhaust.

How exactly are you measuring the a/f ratios??

My Apexi turbo timer shows it... but it actually sucks, i tried to make a very rich mixture, there is a black smoke from the exhaust, but Apexi still shows 14:1 :) no Dynos here....

Franks, check engine didn't flash - should it? but yes, i think it "sounded like a tin can shaking around with nutz and bolts in it". just didn't know how to describe it... i will try to configure the knock sensor on the SAFC and see if it is a denotatation or not.

your turbo timer has a sensor plugged into the oxygen sensor??

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
