Hi,

i am little bit confused regarding how to find the best IGN advance for the b series engine.

How I can monitor the knock Sensor? K count is not available on the board.

It is required to use a third party knock tool to identify knocking?
I have one customer request for tuning but I have no idea how to find the best advance for this ECU type.

Thanks for help 🙏

The best way to tune for ignition timing is on a dyno where you can see small power changes which are driven by changes to the timing maps.

If you are tuning by knock, you'll need to use a knock detection device (either third party or DIY).
