^ I'm with Chu.

3 Gallons is way to much, I usually add 1-1.5. Team Band-Aid, ninja!


Dan, I was tuned at 11.5 across the board. I'm seeing more knock with the oe intercooler back on the car, thats the only thing thats changed.

 

fixed, you is welcome

 

No, you're alwaysgettingitwrong, I told you that was too much.

 

Truth. BOOM!






It always smells so good too!

 

i'm done with chu. get at me when you have your pink slip.

 

I said 5. I don't put that much in either but I had to figure that out for myself. I probably got confused thinking you used your entire five gallon jug at a time but then you only keep 93 in there.

There proof that I don't pay attention to what you do when you have clothes on.

 

Dan, you have a small obssession with fuel. lol. I thinkit stemmed from the length of time you ran E85 and always hae to refuel in paddock. I noticed you were always concerned with AFR when you went back to 93 and constantly spiking with leaded fuel.


I spiked a few times in the past. I was either using unleaded 100 octane, or 1/2 gallon of leaded 110 depending on fuel level in the tank. 1/2 to 1 gallon to a full tank of 93 usally killsany knock. My car rarely flashes though.

 

I started spiking every since I ran my first day on gas in February and had a major hesitation rolling back on the throttle coming out of turn 5 at tbolt. It did it a few times. I spiked it and it stopped for the rest of the day. I had a full tank when the hesitation happened so I don't think it was a pick up issue. And changing fuel wouldn't fix bad plugs.

I do pay a lot of attention to fuel though. I admit. E85 is likely the reason. I had to calculate every single move I made before, during and after an event. That last schattenbaum event we did last year where I burned through two flo n go in one day at lightning was enough for me to welcome the change to pump gas.

 

some motors just make more noise than others. I get lots of knock when transitioning from vacuum to boost or when I let off the gas REAL fast and get back on it. I don't worry about those knock counts, but when I'm WOT down the straight on a hot day and the light is flashy-flashy, then I consider that knock.

You guys who don't see the light all that often I'll bet have your knock sensor filters/tables/thresholds modified from stock. Try running the OEM values and see what that light does.

Team Band-Aid OUT!

 

I'll just leave this here:

Why would adding higher octane fuel change air fuel? I thought it only affected chance of pre-ignition.

Leaded fuel burns at a slower rate than unleaded which leaves you running rich.

 

I've gotten used to my flashing AEM Digital AFR gauge lights.

Annoyance factor depends on where you mount it too, that's why it's not on A Pillar for me.

 

^ Higher octane fuels, doesn't have to be leaded, but yes, thats why.
