Is 30 counts of knock on a 1G cool?

Heh, I tested EMS 0001 for 1g's....Before I figured out that the EMS is calibrated for a 2g knock sensor and that they have entirely different ranges, I got lots of it, at idle even, scary sound=)

Man, you must have REALLY banjaxed your fuel and timing maps to get that to occur!

I was referring to knock at WOT (obviously) when the car is loud. I totally agree that you could hear knock at idle, but I don't think that's really the issue here. ;)

As far as toys go, that one has alot of buttons, especially when your the only 1g owner with one and it like version .68=) I was actually doing it on purpose to see if I could measure knock at all....I couldn't.

1. On your keyboard, next to the comma, there is a little dot called a period. Give it a shot.

2. Also on the keyboard, there is a big key to the left of the "Z" and to the right of the "?." Try that one too.

3. You're wrong. You can't "tell" when a motor has too much knock if the knock sensor is unplugged.

haha... Thanks for the advice ! anyway i am not running enough boost to get over 10 knock i jus want to drive my car without having the timming retarded with sum power which i can't have with around 10 knock with it plugged in. I am not taking to the strip anytime soon so i think i'l be ok.

this is what happens when you don't pay attention to your knock sensor. i had done 2 pulls on the 1/4 mile logging this and i had no knock at all, so like an idiot i figured i'd be good for a long highway pull. wrong. if i could've watched the knock sensor with a logger i would've seen this thing knocking before any of this happened.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

I also have an led hooked up so it flashes when it knocks and if it holds the knock i know its to much and I'l back of the gas. I am not racing the car either and i barely do pulls ont he highway.
