You know honestly i'm not too sure. There is the off chance that the low timing map could be primary since i didn't look too much into what map does what in this car.

I'd assume it would be the high octane first.

Double check that your changes are making it through to the runtime with logging. If you get knock no matter what you do its probably phantom knock from some piece of hardware and should be ignored with settings if possible.

 

I have no knock at all at 6-8 PSI i adjusted both the low and high octane maps

 

My lancer Rom used the low octane maps ONLY. I don't know if RS has adjusted anything to change that, but by default...it's low octane only. Easy way to tell is check the timing and compare it to the low and high maps, they will have diff numbers, so which ever one matches up is your guy.

 

Crap, I'm still getting a lot knock even though I pulled timing from low and high ocatne map.
Freakin stock lancer tune is a POS! BTW, what's Phatom Knock specifically?

 

Usually its some kind of vibration or rattle making the knock sensor think there is knock when there is none.

 

Basically phantom knock is when the ecu misinterprets engine noise or some outside noise as knock. More likely to happen the more you modify your engine and introduce noises that the knock sensor was not calibrated for from the factory. Say you have 8 counts of knock at a certain load/rpm and you drop timing like 5 degrees in that area, dont have any sharp timing raises or drops in that area and are still gettting those 8 counts thats a good indication of phantom knock. I have done alot of trial and error trying to tune out my phantom knock with I feel good success. Although its not perfect and possible I may have tuned out a little bit of real knock I feel all knock that needs attention is still accurately displayed and I am not getting the annoying drop in power that I was seeing before because of the phantom knock

 

Ok cool, thanks guys. Im just gonna take my time to tune it. My tune has slight raises and drops.

 

so how goes sd development on the evo side,ive only skim though it to check hows it going cause im anxious to get the spoolinup harness to get this test going

 

Some good ideas and thoughts going on.

3d ve tables work but the implementation may change we'll see

 

hey mitsu, you're runnin an ssqv vta correct? did you have to adjust any values?

 

dont think he did cause hes an auto so doesnt let off the throttle to shift lol so he doesnt have any rich afr at the shift points

 

Correct! Since im auto, and i dont let the off the gas in between shifts so i dont get that richness inbetween shifts, still however i want to go SD

 

hey roadspike is there anyway we can get this knock filter situation corrected? My knock light flashes quick but when I check the logs, my knock voltage is like.500

 

I think it would be best to simply adjust the table to ignore knock under a certain load point. 50-60 load is just too low and its too sensitive. Plus these motors can take more abuse than ya think you'll hear knock long before damage under 100load.

 

dang, my load is like at 35... lol
BTW, 91 octane somewhat solved my knock issues.. it's knocking less now..
