I am in need for some expert advice. Currently I purchased a used PowerFC for my ST205 and brought my car into a shop for a safe tune (not aggressive). My issue is my Check engine light flickers on and off, I noticed that knock starts to report at low RPM range. 2600RPM - 3000RPM. I dont hear any knock and Im hoping that its phantom knock. I have added my logs from datalogit f anyone can provide any advice it would be appreciated.
my current mods are basic: HKS Intake Exhaust manual boost controller set at only 15-16 lbs. and Berk Downpipe. HighKnockLogs |

You can use the map tracer with the FC datalogit. Watch what cells get knock and then remove ignition timing from the cell or row. I have thought anything over 40 Is detonation. One of my friends 205s is 290kw and never sees more than 35 on the knock, it is also high compression (320psi per Cylinder under boost). Another friend making 260kw sees 60ish which to me seems alarming, i dont think he really cares..
I usually have sub 40. 30-35. However on the track after awhile have seen it get up to 45-50-55. Which i would say would be knock. Tunning the car on the dyno and then taking it around the track are two different enviroments, the dyno is a major amount less work. You can set the knock warning to come on between 0-99.. I have seen tuners set the warning at 40.. And some at 50 and some at 60. So what is right? At what point are you really getting detonation. I have thought of using knock headphones however i cant be sure where i could put a knock sesnor in a easy access place that is accurate...? Id be interested to see what other 205s are getting around the track detonation wise. Mine is standards just exhaust downpipe etc etc amd power fc |
