Well I received my EVO logger the other day and I took the car out for a drive last night. I chose RPM, 02V and timing as my 3 visuals. Tell me if this sounds normal

At around 4000 when I punched it in third gear I had about 8 degrees timing an at 7250 I had 17-18 degrees, 02V was steady .91-94 the entire way up.

 

Do you have a link for the logger?

 

dsmloggers.com

 

That sounds dead right to me..Thats what i see on my logger setup as well. I have the Buschur setup and my logger came from obdloggers.com All good stuff!

 

4k is too high. try it from 2.5 k rpm. just like dyno session.
it reads real low around 3k~4k than climbs up.

 

So your sayin ill get more timing if I nail it from lower?

 

what you want to log is O2, Timming, RPM

make sure your logger is calibrated to your car so that you can get the best data rate. Ok when you want to log, make sure you log from WOT from 2500rpm-7500 and then go somewhere safe and park your car. You may want to make sure your car is really warmed up so you can get accurate readings. what to look at is the Timming curve. when full boost hits timming should be at the the lowest (5-7deg's or so. Then it should steadily climb all the way to redline at about 19-21 degs. If there are any dips in the timming after full boost hits, then you can call that knock. either turn the boost down a psi or 2 and do another pull. Good luck.
target should be 19-20 by redline. and gradual increase from 4k and up.

 

your timing will drop a little when you first punch it, then climb so you wont get more timing by starting at a lower rpm
