For you guys who constantly log your car... What brand of gas seems to be the best and most consistant? I go back and forth between Sunoco and BP. Wondering how the ethanol in Sunoco handles everything.

 

i've wondered the same thing. makes me want to start logging different places haha

 

I studied this a lot a while ago and found that large company owned chains are most likely to be consistent as far as knocksums went.

The Sunoco on Blvd of the Allies and The BP in SQ. Hill both blatantly cheat. I'll saw much higher counts from those two using a test of two tanks from each.

PA is one of only 4 states that does not test octane at the pump so you need to be careful.

That's just a summary. I did this last winter. I'll see if I can read over my notes I took on this.

The best thing for my motor to help control knock has been a FMIC and a boost leak test.

 

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=291290 guys, parting out my car locally and grabbing up an RS shortly... just an fyi for you locals. I still plan to be at the meet as well.

 

jeff, if you need a stock downpipe or cat-back, let me know. i will sell ya mine for pretty cheap if you don't get any offers on yours.

i need to keep the cat, but the rest of it is for sale.

 

Jeff, how much for the lug nuts. Are they lighter then stock ones? Don't kno to much about those lug nutz.

 

Sunoco and Exxon I am very consistant.....I run a tad leaner on sunoco than exxon but get better mpg from exxon. I believe this is due to the 10% ethanol.

I also never had trouble with getgo fuel or BP.....but the last tank I got of getgo which was when i installed a new mbc my car started knocking like a biatch and I wasnt sure if it was due to holding more boost above 6k rpms or the fuel. Since then I have switched back to my previous mbc and now have a fresh tank of sunoco.....but I havent had time to log it due to the weather and other things.

It looks like tomorrow morning (depending on how much i drink tonight) will be my best opportunity to log and see if my knock issues are gone because one of the 2 contributed to it.

BTW the knock light sucks (its a love/hate relationship)........as much as its nice to know when your knocking without logging, its f-ing annoying knowing because before unless I logged I never knew. But now everytime my cel flashes im like WTF!!!

 

I'm probably going to be throwing one on myself and was curious as to how it works with the current tune. I know you and Dan both did it without problems. How about AFR's? Did the FMIC alone affect your wideband AFR's? That's cool that you actually saw less knock. If that's the case then the stock FMIC really is a restriction at our power levels. A lot of guys don't think it is.

 

The boost leak and FMIC were both fixed/added around the same time(thanks Travmann) so I cannot comment on them separately. The AF/R got pretty rich and my tune is just now getting back to normal in the 11's. This was almost certainly caused by the boost leak getting fixed. I do run a lot more timing now then ever before with the same boost settings.
All in all the FMIC sure doesn't seem to hurt. I'll know more after I log it again this weekend.

 

Justin are you going? I'm debating if I am or not.

 

i think i am going to try to make the one on sunday. i would like to test out the new suspension setup in case i need to make any changes before the time trial on the kart track.

will you be at the meet tommorow night? i should know by then for sure what i am doing.

 

I'll be at the autox on sunday. Have fun at the meet guys. I wisih i could attend.

 

Can't wait for tonight!!!

Be cleaned up for some hot pics!!

 

I don't think I'm gonna make the meet. The weather just looks kind of crappy. We'll see though.
