Hello,
As you can see I'm very to new logging and loading them on here. Any help would be appreciated and if I mess it all up sorry. I'm running pocketlogger and I'm having some issues with the car please check out my log. It feels really really sluggish for a 18g at 14psi. The weird thing is my O2 volts are telling me its way lean but the fuel trims are telling me it's rich I'm confused.

Mods, I'm stupid, so unless somebody wants to explain to me how to get a log from pocketlogger on to here just go ahead and delete this thread. Sorry for wasting your time.
 
I set up a Hosting so here is the link to the first log which is pretty okay except for high timing. Also, the O2 volts would lead me to believe that it's running lean, but the fuel trims are rich. I don't have a clue. It's just not pulling like it should with a 18g at 14psi.

When I get a chance I will post a second 3rd gear wot log when I'm going uphill and it's knocking like crazy.
 
Your log looks fine. Coolant temps are normal, narrowband 02 is kinda lean, mid/low trims are a touch rich... you only logged 1 count of knock a few separate times, so that's nothing really to worry about. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're logging 'knocksum' istead of 'degrees of knock', right? 3 counts of knocksum = 1 degree of knock retard. You should have your 02 sensor checked out but other than that, I'd up the boost...

The narrowband 02 is reputedly unreliable. Trust your fuel trims and get a wideband.
 
Cool thanks misphit, Later tonight I will be posting a different log of me doing a 3rd gear pull going uphill and its knocking all over the place and I have absolutely no power. I still don't understand why that car pulled harder with the 14b using stock boost than the 18g at 14psi. I guess maybe 14psi just isn't enough for the FP 18G.

Any way check back tomorrow and you will see that bad log.

Yes it is logging knocksum and yes your right about 3 counts equals one degree of retard. But I definitely think I need to rewire the fuel pump cause at the upper rpm's, my injector p/w and d/c are dropping off at wot. Which to my knowledge they should climb.
