I use a CarPC for this with an in-dash motorized touchscreen. I think there is a thread somewhere on here where I made some custom gauges for EvoScan.

For a while, though, I have been using LogWorks. I like that product a lot, not to mention that I can log anything in my MTS chain now, like my map sensor and widbeband, etc.

Very nice. Makes sense now.

 

I do

 

Actually, though, it won't be long before someone write some code for the ECU to flash the CEL when a certain amount of knock is reached.

I think that was one of the things that Bez was doing before he had to start over. DSMLink does this and once our ROMs have been modified to do this, that will be all I really need to monitor realtime. You won't need a CarPC, laptop, or anything like that to monitor knock realtime.

Except when I'm late for work



OT - the fine print is unnoticed, find and your a winner of a free insult

 

I do for every day I drive to work...just not recreationally.

 

I installed my wideband on January 24 2007.

Since then I have logged 145 WOT pulls - eeks, I gotta change the oil

 

OK, so I was reading this thread, after doing some logs today, and I am having the exact same problem that SophieSleeps is, but, I am not venting my crankcase, I have an intake, but my airflow readings are not erratic... Here is a clip of my log where my knock counts get high. My car has a hybrid map, a copy of a Dynoflash map from a friends car that is almost identical to mine, mods and all. Since I have had the flash, I have done a few more things, and have tuned the fuel maps with a wideband. The wideband readings on my last 5 dyno pulls are good, right around 11.1-11.5 afr. I was looking at my High Octane ignition maps, and after really looking at them, it seems as though one of my cells had an "odd" number in it coincidentally right where I am getting the high knock readings. Basically, the map showed in my 3500 cell at 180 had a value of 6, and starting at 140 to 220, the cells were: 12, 9, 6, 8, 8. I though the "6" was what was causing this, because nothing else in the ignition map looks out of the ordinary. I reflashed the 6 to an 8, and hoped it would go away, but it ovbviously didn't. So, far, I am thinking that I just need to play with the ignition maps a little more to get it to go away? Any ideas?

Damnit, that looks like poop..... Guess the cut and paste doesn't look so good..

If you copy, use text to columns in excel, and it comes out OK.

 

Or just do a printscreen of your excel worksheet and paste into ms paint.
Save it as a jpg or bmp and host it useing www.tinypic.com

 

To clear things up, I have yet to record knock that high again.

It may have just been the road that I was driving on or something stupid like that.

 

Funny, I thought about doing that, but I though someone might want to take the data and throw it into one of their excel worksheets for analysis. I have it in mine, but nothing is really showing up staring me in the face saying "Fix me".

 

How much boost and what kind of gas are were you running?

 

93 and 21.5psi...

I am sitting here really loookng at my excel graphs trying to figure this out... Argh..
