Depends when you start knocking...maybe 19-21psi depending on temp and elevation. I know most florida tracks are badd ass to race at

I thought the jokes started "knock knock"...

Knock: (N) Predetonation, ping; excessive temprature in the combustion chamber causes the fuel to reach its spontaneous self ignition temprature at a point prior to the the ignition of the spark plug.

I cant believe that this guy has bought so many parts for his DSM without ever having heard that term used before.

Maybe he'd heard of it, but didn't know what it was. We'll give him the benifit of the doubt for now.

I prefer jerk but whatever floats your boat.

Listen sorry to be an ass but this is a mission critical term when it comes to tuning a car on pump gas. Even doing basic research on how other people tune their cars you would have come across that term more than a few times. If you want to really get the most power out of your car you HAVE to become educated. It’s the people that don’t care to learn this stuff that have thousands in their car and still cant run 12s.

I completely agree I don't see how you were being a prick at all, just honest. Learn more about your car before you mod it. Before is the key word here.

Thats sorta like saying "I thought 87 octane was the good stuff" its cheap!

Knock.

I dont feel like searching anymore for U...Just try and read as much as possible about how this stuff works before you mod anymore. Were you planning on just taking a quote from here and turning your boost up to that, and have that be the end of it? Get some logger software and start reading and searching about how motors work n' stuff. All of these links provide a strting point for u. Who did all your mods? How could you have boughten all those parts and not ever read anything about knock? Its bad, and we dont like it as tuners...

 

[GoriLLa]

ok people look ... just because i didnt know one term does not mean im an idiot

After done moding im putting car on dyno and having my friend do all the tunning and my friend is a DSM Specialist.

I am just here trying to learn all that he already knows... and no i was not just gonna take a number from here and boost that ammount of PsI i was simply asking for a round - about figure that a Big16 G can handle as far as boost goes.

Relax people u didn't sart out knowing everything about cars either u had to learn it all just like me...GEEZ!

take it easy on the guy people.. remember the rules of this site. If you have no useful information then dont post it.. that goes for you as well rdrkt.. I dont find your post useful at all, infact it was just a sarcastic comment that you should have known would invoke a come back. There will be none of that.
