refrenced here Lots of knock with VERY low timing - DSM Forums: Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Eagle Talon Forum: DSMtalk.com
Apparently too low timing can CASUE knock as well. so i guess its about finding the corect place in the middle. i think that my IAT temps being around 90 isnt helping methanol has been considered. And my coolant being around 200-203 sometimes im only using the AC fan as my main on this THICK koyo. So i think the thick core is compensating for the shitty fan. i wonder if i modify the main fan to fit between the HX40 if things will be better? i didn't see knock when temps were at 190 during warmup. iats were around 70 and things were great 20psi no knock. timing would rise. (still in negative though) i pushed out my lower IC pipe to make more room for the dump tube, even though the LIC pipe is heat wrapped there is no more random vibrations happening under the hood. i don't have any heat shields so that could be causing high IATs also using a tubular manifold has its downs i suppose. i tried heat wrapping the manifold and it glowed red at night so i took it off. that was a little too sketchy for me. what do you guys think? beef up the cooling and see if i can run more timing?

, also need T3 goin on for pump gas. because this is after all my daily. I posted this in that other thread too but why not my own also.
