Safcii Knock Readings

[geno8r]

*EDIT, mod please change topic title to SAFC2 because the double caps II's won't cap : )*

Hey Just wondering what kind of knock readings people get with their SAFCII?

My max ping is generally around 20 when idle, & usually sits around 0 - 3 when driving after a bit. This is when driving on stock 7psi boost.

When I bump it to 12psi & check the highest recorded knock, it shoots up to around 120 - 160 after little thrashing at 12 pound, I never actually catch the knock displaying these higher figures. I had the car dyno tuned for 12 pound so the A/F ratio’s should all be correct, the dyno sheet says so (12:1), When actually boosting 12psi at 7000rpm the knock reading is still 0 like it normally is high up in the revs so I'm not worrying.

Just wondering what other people get.

hmm well i thought my SAFC II was screwed as it has been "tuned" very suspect though and during the cold its around 40 but then any sort of hot day even if i am not boosting its at like 90 - 100 which i know is way to high. I also never hear pinging. I am taking it to get checked later on.

If its recording that result i would be a little worried however you can tell pretty easy if it was a once off. On the SAFC II you cant set the knock sensor as a default one to show. Just have a passenger with you and then nail it. They should be able to tell you when it hits the high numbers

When I start my car and it idles my knock readings are 20-30. As soon as I'm into the rev range it drops to 0.

When I stick my foot to the boards it goes straight to 0 and doesn't alter.

This si one 12psi too.

on one of the hottest days (40deg) mine hit around 35 on idle, but that isnt really bad as your engine isnt really under load, but 90-100 is rather high.

as long as it hits 0 while under load then its fine, i rev to about 1000-1200 if my knock gets a bit high on idle, i find it drops a bit.
