Adding Bolt Ons

In a couple of weeks, I'll be adding some bolt ons all at once, including a KT 72mm TB. I've been running a great stock tune for a few years done up by our old friend EFICU (where did her go btw? It's been a minute and a half), so I'm looking to build off it with the new parts. What are some of the ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Yeah, car feels so on point now, I think you've taken it as far as we can go with what I have currently set up. Like you recommend, I'll keep making logs every now and then to make sure everything is still solid and knocks stay to a minimum. I'm sure I'll hit you up once in a while to get your ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Here's another log split into two, I don't understand why the file size tends to explode when my drives last longer than 30 mins.

The new pedal map feels great, I didn't think the car would be able to feel like this completely stock. Definitely want to keep it. Looks like one knock came back ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

I can't get into WOT on first or second without my tires slipping in these cold temps, lol. Not complaining, I'll just have to wait until it warms up again.
I can't imagine what it would be like at warmer temps with my summer tires on.

As for the vtec, I prefer keeping the pressure threshold on ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Damn this car has some pull now. As you can see at around the 6 min mark, I did a pull from stop for the first time since we started doing this and it caught me off guard how much pop it had, such a clumsy shift into second lol. Vtec is perfect where it's at, while I miss the surge at the factory ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

That's interesting about Canadian cars. I wonder if our fuel up here is refined differently. I have heard that some places have additives put in during the summer, not sure if that could be related. I'm also doing these pulls in colder temps and at night (about 3-5*C), could that affect the AFR ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Here's another log for you, shorter like you recommended.

Yesterday's pull was on a long stretch completely free of cars, so I may have gotten a little carried away. It's hard not to but you're right, got to keep safety in mind.

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Here's the next log, definitely starting to feel the car pick up. Looks like cylinder 3 is doing some funky stuff though, I see that quite a few knocks came up when I switched to 4th and continued the pull. Probably still part of the process, eh?

If you have a moment, do you mind explaining where I ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Here's the latest log, and it's knock free! The pull is at the usual spot. It's been fun doing these pulls again, car seems happy to be doing them as well!

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Okay, I got the new O2 sensor in without *too many* issues. Lol, the old one was seized and I was afraid the threads to the manifold were toast when I finally got it out, but managed to chase them out and got the new one in nice and torqued. Anyways, I can see the difference compared to the previous ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Hey, just a heads up. I got the sensor in today. If all goes well, I'll be able to put it in tonight and have a log for you in the morning.

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Man, I dont have a clue about tuning so I'm going to take in all the advice you can give me.

I got a Denso from rockauto. I had a feeling the O2 sensor was a bit off, a buddy of mine mentioned it as well but it never threw a code so I let it go. But it was on my "to-do" list as the mileage on the ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Here's my latest pull. Hope it's good enough, I had to do it during the afternoon because we had a dump of snow last night so I couldn't do it right after work. With more cars on the road, I was only able to get to about 8000 rpm, but I do see the dip on the AFR throughout the pull.

I already ...

Re: New to FP and seeing a lot of knock during 3rd geat WOT

Wow! I tried to keep a realistic expectation on the first go but that was already a huge improvement. The knocks are all gone and there was already an increase in power. Plus the gear changes, especially the lower ones, are so much smoother. Makes me wonder what's next if you say this is sluggish ...
