Knock Control
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 8:26 am
The Flashpro help file describes knock control as the way the ECU has determined the fuel octane you use.
0% Knock control means you're using 100 octane
100% Knock control means you're using 90 octane
In a perfect world, people running 93 octane will see 70% for this value.
Normally aspiriated
If the car is tuned on a dyno, and the main ignition timing tables are set to the proper values, should the knock control value be 0% all the time, or does the ECU still try to compensate?
Another question... I know the knock retard backs off timing, and you can actually feel the engine losing increments of power as it does this, but what does the knock control do?
Edit - Is there any difference in ignition timing or fuel values from the ECU when the k.control is 0% compared to k.control at 70%?
