knock retard

**ggino85** · 01-11-2008, 06:02 PM

okay so im getting knock retard of up to 3.14* in my t/a. its gottan as high as 5.23* but only once that i saw. it seems to happen more in the lower rpms of first and second gear.(m6) i was wondering if i add fuel to the lower rpms at wot(2k-4k) if that might help. i have a diablo sport w/ slp's tune on it, so i can play with the tune a little. i had the same tune on my SS and had no problems and i felt a noticeable difference w/ it. so would adding fuel help??(the only mod i have added is a p/p throttle body, but i didnt check for the kr before adding the throttle body just after.)

it's kind of a blunt tool, how do you know the car is lean in that area, and how well can you target the change? I know you can't do much with spark since you can only shift the whole map up or down...

Is that at WOT? And, if so, can you confirm that you're in FTC 15 or 22? Did you check that you're getting close to 100% TP at WOT with the new TB (or, at least, wherever the threshold for PE mode is)?

i dont think my handheld will let me get that precise.

im gonna turn the power enrichment up a few degrees and see if that helps.
