Knock Count

Whats your knock count at WOT up to red line.
Lately ive been getting a-lot more knock. Knock is usually below 5, but now i am noticing the count up at 16-18. AFR at wot float around 11.7-12.2 with 25-27psi.

thats weird cause normally my power fc records 1 at idle and can run between 8 - 20 accordineg to the conditions and the fuel quality. That being said the head phones dont pick up know on my car till 38 counts. how much timing are you running at peak torque?

keep in mind that this knock sensor is a mic that records engine noise, that is not necessary the pistons, check the graph to see if is just a peak.....if its knoking it should be more then a peak....

I justed asked about the timing cause 0 knock never happens on any of the power fc cars i have tuned. nearly all idle at 1 count. i use the kmon knock monitor and every car has a different knock level before it becomes audable on the headphones, most evo's are around 35 - 40 from the cars I have tuned. My personal car runs no more than 10 - 20 counts and I am at 375 whp with 24 psi on a ix turbo

i think any thing below 60 on the comander is ok ...
also plz tell that my comander shows peak 80 knock when i hit the limiter or when i launch ,is it the faulse knock ?
without hitting limiter my knock doesnt pass 25 even though im on pump gas and 2 bar boost ..

power fc has fuel cut on rev limiter so it knocks when you hit rev limiter.
if you are making over 400-450hp there is a little chance that you may blow head gasket.
