Knock Sensor???

[Unscarred711]

I run a Apex i computer with hand controller and was just wondering what is a safe level of knock???

I have had it up to 98 or something and no engine light came up on the dash. Is that a bad knock for a R33 RB 25.

Cheers

98 is pretty high, it should hoever around 20-30 tops. check if the knock warning is turned to on under etc. also check your engine light works, should come on when you turn key to acc3

etc -> function select -> Knock Warning. Capital T figure is enable and a Plus sign is disable

The light works but i have never seen it come up while driving. Also i have a few overboosting issues at the moment so i should proably sort them out then get a tune up. Also it wouldnt hurt to run bp ultimate together with a bottle of octane booster per tank?

you could use that as a temporary work around but if you need to add octane and its knocking that much then it needs to be looked at by a mechanic. ive read your overboosting problem but arent sure why its doing that. with avcr off (assuming its plumbed correctly) when you should just be running whatever the wastegate spring is, wouldnt be a 1.7bar spring?

I get a max of 17 after a big drive up a hill with up to 8k revs;) RB26 built by master builders at DART!!!

the thing is lucky to get 10 on the knock most days!!!
