Well, you can never be too safe can you...?

What the user from my above quoted text was saying makes sense though.

There is not much point in looking at peak vales. Put both basic knock and advanced knock in a chart and you will see they pretty much read very similar. There are some little discrepancies here and there, but gives you a better idea of the whole picture.

Below is an example. The red is basic knock and the yellow is advanced knock. I will make another one for you with a broader log.

Take the knock readings with a pinch of salt. Throw it on the dyno watch the exhaust and listen for ping. :)

Hi Cubes,

I know what pinging sounds like, but ive always wondered what to look for with the exhaust when knock occurs. I think it gives a puff of black smoke - if this is right, what would cause this? The air-fuel mix not completely burning under knock conditions?

Cheers,

Matt

Have they got your money gawdzilla?

Yes, they do... i sent money via paypal. Since they are a registered paypal vendor w/ good feedback, I figure it is safe. Plus, Glen and them aren't scammers or anything according to everyone I've spoken to. They are just slow to act, and customer service could use some work.

Whats funny is I got a confirmation email from Glen today saying it is shipping today. However, this is after I filed a complaint/refund request via Paypal (so that I could try and buy from some other vendor). Maybe that made him act faster *shrug*... but the item is on its way so I am satisfied for now. We'll see how it pans out. Sorry guys about the thread jack...

I'll tell my friend to do that too, we split the cost and ordred one and he hasn't got a reply from them yet. I think he wants to get his money back and wait for the English Apexi PFC software.... tho I don't think it will work with my RB20 pfc.

I still havnt seen anything of the two sets of datalogit i ordered! :(

Could Jono please tell me where they are? I have lost my patience now. As i paid you a couple of months ago and i havnt seen anything of them yet, im wondering if i should take this one step further?? I have good contacts in Australia who can help me out but i hope it wont be neccessary. Its all up to you.

what the?

I paid the dude the money and he said he shipped them. How is this my fault? He said he contacted you directly and organised it with you.

I will send him and email, but I wouldn't be making threats, as thats not going to help you at all.

Sounds a fair deal. It's worth noting that there were no problems experienced by the rest of us in the buy, other than the (normal) lack of patience when some guys were getting theirs a couple of days ahead of others. No problem otherwise.

Hopefully the inquiry with shipping agent will get it sorted quickly.

cheers

one simple email, and I got this as a response -

"OK will do.

The package was insured, so will get onto our shipping agent and find out,

or claim it and re-send."

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
