Knock Reading Rockets With Extra 2 Psi Of Boost, Although Car Is Fully Tuned..


Recommended Posts

Really, WOW never knew that.

even a quarter way up on the knock scale is bad. the only thing you have in youre favor is the engine doesnt make enough power to damage itself with the knock readings you have, standard ignition map totally wrong for that application. suggest check knock sensor wires, replace knock sensors, then alter the ign map to something more acceptable and fourthly change tuners!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Everything you have said is totally the opposite to what everyone has told me.

And trent from status tuning knows his shit, i dont see any need to change tuners.

the guy states ''more boost '' more knock'' obviously the ignition map is wrong , even if the a/f ratios are nice the thing can still knock. the knocking is detonation. causes of detonation too much ignition timing and or compression or too lean. shit man i learnt that at trade school.!!!!!!!!!1

    • Been ages since I did anything on the s15 but got some time and motivation over the weekend. Brakes are now fitted with fresh seals, hardware and pads. Bolted up with the alpha omega brackets, just waiting on 2 fittings and sensors to Bleed them. With that done moved onto the fuel system. The injectors have been cleaned ,flow tested, new filters and orings.  Made a bracket to hold the surge tank with surge tank and pumps mounted then plumbed. Roll-over valve done too. Need to make a new loom and add individual relays for it all. Had new flange welded on inlet manifold for a bosch 74mm DBW throttle body.  Coolant bypass hose done with some fittings welded on now then soda blasted. Waiting on sensors to arrive to install and pwr for radiator and intercooler still. Getting to point of buying an ECU and looking like may be going something else as link doesn't have enough inputs.   Work has been awesome with first trip to Perth and now on the way to Darwin looking for a good result there.
    • It always makes me laugh when I hear things like this, when I was a young bloke I bought a old Mk1 Escort, one of my mates said "how do you expect to have a girlfriend in a old car like this", my reply was "if she doesn't like the car she can walk, and if she is more interested in the car I drive than me she can fark off" This is how you can tell if you have a good woman, they care not about things like the cars you drive or what it sounds like Pandering to crazy obsessed women who care more about how they look in a car than the person driving it is something that I've always kept away from Not saying my Mrs isn't crazy at times, but it's typically me being a idiot that incites the crazy 🤪
    • But where's the fun in that, for me it isn't about the money, I have money, and I have time, I enjoy the process of things, the picking parts, the "adventure" of it all, and for the bits I can do myself, the actual work is enjoyable, well, varying levels on enjoyment on hard to reach things like that farking thermostat I just changed
    • Pretty sure he has made it clear this is a better car
