Thought I would post my Q in here, to keep the Thread Numbers down so,
Car was tuned about 3-4 weeks ago. 1 time i did see it knock above 50,but the rest of the time, It never goes over 20. It was a really hot day today. and I filled up with Ultimate 98, at Warwick, before heading back to brisbane.
When i gave it in 2nd. I noticed my knock went up to 118!!. its never ever been that high before. After this instance, i see normal driving and idle knock is higher than it used to be. I am asuming the fuel that was put in, was crap. But I mean Im really worried that this instance of high knock- Detonation, has possibly damaged the engine somewhat. I believe my tune may be too advanced for this heated summer.
Can anyone give me some insight, into if it should be still ok, or what I can do about it.
Have they seen their knock go up that high, and its been ok?.
Am I looking at a tuning issue. And If so, could there have been damaged caused.
really appreciate any responses.
cheers,
dale
