Getting 16 to 25 counts of knock car was tuned recently

Car made 360 whp at 27-28 PSI stock 10.5 hotside Evo 8.5 turbo


Finished it worked great stopped using it and I contacted the tuner. He pledged to help me fix it but I cant get my serial port to log my wb. I do have some basic knowledge.

Ive retarded timing as much as 3-4 degrees and added fuel but still get heavy knock.

Am getting knock at random RPM ive evened switched the knock sensor to be off under 3000 RPM.

Ive changed my plugs ? Could it be possible boost leak? I took off the metal that holds the down pipe? Could it be engine mounts?

Knock multipliers are set to

LOW 13
MID 18
HIGH 20

Ive ignored knock sensor under 159 load from rpm range from 1000 to 3500

Put race gas in it. If knock goes away it is real detonation. If it doesn't then you have something wrong. Once you determine whether or not it is detonation or not you can move on to finding the cause of the readings.

Im sure we could work something out.

Can get you set up in a nice beach house and your expenses taken care of.

Friend wants to tune his STM FF 6466 Evo and I have an EF4 Evo X project that I am working on.

I changed my knock multipliers and it went away.

Also mechanic changed out coilovers recently. The meth kit was grounded to the suspension but eitherway it knocked before this but not 25 points it was more along the line of 3 to 5.

I retarded timing 1 degree and changed my multipliers. Car knocks 1 or 2 some times.

We mostly do road tunes almost no dyno tunes but there is an awd dyno.
