looking to fix this knock!
hi guys I´ve been searching how to fix this knocking but it´s seems it could be a lot of things, I did a boost leak test, check plugs, nothing is rubbing or banging, no knocking noise. it´s consintent from 5k up to redline. my car is an 04evo 8 and current mods are 3¨tbe, intake, upper icpipe, 255 walbro,02housing. here is two logs files that were running in 3rd gear, 95octane at 21 psi. would aprecciate any help
It can be poor gas at the station at winter, water or somwthing mist in the tanks.. The plugs need to be one step hotter cuz of the winter minus degrees. In norway we have shell 98 and 95 and some idiot truck filled 95 in the 98 octane tank. My car struggled with that ****.
By 95octane you mean 95ron fuel or 91 US? Was the car tuned to run on 91 fuel? 21psi is too much for 91 fuel if the car is untuned. Stock tune is made with 93 (98ron) fuel in mind, so either use 93 or have it tuned to run on 91.

I think you should reduce timing at 5000 to 6*, 5500-6000 to 8*, and at 6250-6500 to 9*
Your air/fuel ratio seems to be alright for the most part so you could possibly be ramping timing up too early. But I also suggest that you add fuel in that same range to get it back down to 11.5 from 5000-6500.
