I've looked around for fwd exhaust and the only reasonable place I found was trubendz. I ordered their 2.5 inch aluminized exhaust kit for my 91 fwd. It just comes as pipes but I added a magna flow straight through muffler where the cat would be...

I have a 5speed ECU with DSMink v2

I tossed some VP octane booster in the car, was still doing it. Ended up setting the knock sensor to 80% and 5500rpm and it didn't detect anything. So I started upping the boost and timing and it seems to be rock solid now. I'm going to chalk it...

I know some vehicle reduce torque load on downshifts to make a softer shift, I guess these old dsm's don't do that. The knock sensor must be picking up noise from something, I'll see if I can get a log of it retarding timing on downshift...

If I get some time, I'll definitely try it, and if that's my issue I'll buy you a beer!I was thinking of doing the kiggly shifter mod and running it manual, but I do like the ease of tossing it into drive and just crusing.

It's a good thought, but I'm not sure those solenoids would cause a knock. They're pretty far from the sensor and covered in fluid. Plus I have no issues shifting, I just cleaned them when I did the shift kit. I also believe this transmission has...

Two logs with no knock. From a wot pull, but if I down shift it'll knock.

I'm chasing a knock. When I go wot, it will downshift 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st and I'll get 5 degrees of knock, but if I go manual 1st-2nd or do a high speed 3rd gear pull it won't detect anything. I'm running a 91 laser, f4a33 with a shift kit...
