Ok i have a kpro v4 #42418 kmanage 4.2.5. my car is a jdm dc5 type r k20a engine. recently i just got my car tuned and having to get a tune is very hard where i live in Brunei because there is no tuner here and we have to actually bring a tuner from overseas. my problem is that there is knocking on high rpm on 3rd and 4th gear but the tuner says its a phantom knock. so i would like to ask to community to check my kal and datalog and give me your opinion on the matter.

mods: I/H/E with 70mm throttle body
DC5 edit1.kal

All you can try doing is reducing the timing where it knocks and see if it goes away. If it does not, it may just be mechanical noise that it thinks is knock.
