How low of load?

60-70-80-90-100 usually above 2500 rpm but I've been able to induce it as low as 2500 likely because the stock knock thresholds drop to 60 load at 2500.

If I didn't have to drop 750$ at my lawyers office I'd make a set of det cans today! Haha. Sigh 156 mph speeding ticket

David Im not sure if you remember or not but thats the exact same problem you had with your turbo OZ rally there was a thread in the lancer forum check my old thread when I posted about my yellow car that explains it abit. I honestly would just flash the car with an evo map and take the time to convert everything.

Not sure if the new version is what caused this....but 3 weeks ago I installed it. Then started have serious log rate issues like you describe. But I was also having random PC issues that started at the same time that made me think I had a virus and couldnt fix it with updates/scanning. So I reformatted, put the newest version of evoscan on it and its been fine ever since..


211ratsbud, 156mph speed ticket!?! Id be dropping money off at the lawyer's office too! lol I take it you are enjoying the setup regardless of the slight tuning issues youre having.

You dont really need to have your knock threshold lower than 100 unless you are getting 10+ counts of knock

I'm actually dealing with a very similar issue and I'm 95% sure its false knock because I get some slight counts of knock almost every time I hit 60-70 load between 3000-3500. I keep meaning to play around with the knock threashold limits like chetrickerman said but I just haven't had time lately... Guess that's what happens when you're a new dad

^^congrats. 5 weeks till due date for me, which means about a week to get my tune squared away! (among many other chores...)

You guys are making me wonder whether I should activate the knock light lower than 100 load...

Knock light under 100 load is a curse lol

Ya, its the Turbo Lancer all over again... the more **** I changed the more it got out of wack. I was running tephra and ran into issues so went back to a stock rom to simplify the whole deal. I may try tephra again now that my idle issues are fixed. I just cant figure out what would cause this hickup. Evoscan showing me an incorrect load was the issue on the turbo car and could very well be the issue here. But if i put 18 degree's of timing in the problem cell i see the car car hitting the 18 degrees of timing where i told it too hit it. Which makes me think that the load points where i'm entering the data are correct.

Thanks for the link! That was the best tuning write up I have ever read. I've been tuning for a few years and I always wondered why we did 3rd gear pulls and smoothed from there. I rarely do 3rd gear pulls so why tune for that.

I tuned the way the article suggested and my car has NEVER felt so good!!! Also, I have absolutely no knock. NONE!!! Thanks again!!!

It was a good article, thanks for reposting! I've actually thought about tuning that way a lot but haven't gotten to try it out yet. The thing that got me thinking about it is that I always tune my car so that there is absolutely no knock but then when I'm at the track I always get a little bit of knock towards the end of 3rd and usually in 4th as well. I've even done 4th gear pulls that were knock free and still had it knock at the track. I guess I need to pay a little more attention to my logs from the track and start tuning off of them.

I'm glad it helped you. I find that I can run more boost tuning PCYang's way, and my car is faster.

Amazing how a little strategy change can make all the difference.

The track is much more stressful than a 3rd gear pull, or 2nd through 4th pull (if your not talking about a drag track) so you need to reduce the timing and boost by a tiny bit to give your car a little margin of error.

Now if your on E85 its not really necessary.

IMO, its important to tune with 3rd gear pulls AND the 2nd through 4th gear pulls so that all bases are covered.

A good tune takes time, but you are getting paid. So you should do your best work even if it takes a bit longer to do.

That's once reason the "major" tuner in my area hasn't been doing so good since I started tuning
