Well ****! lets try the higher octance first, if still present then gotta look at common things that will cause a "knock" (I'm sure you already have) carbon deposits, loose mounts, loose tc bolts, exhaust hitting on frame at WOT bc of loose mounts, electrical wiring, BAD PCM(may be not) after that...... teardown I guess!

Let us know what you find

 

nothing is making any noises. I HEAR NO KNOCK! How much timing do you think a 10.6:1 motor can take on 93 octane?

 

24-25

 

my highest timing is 24 degrees. I actually lowered the timing from the stock lq4 high timing table

 

block the holes off and turn the stupid knock sensors off

 

are yours off?

 

have they been desensitized at all? and yea you can just turn them off.

 

I'm also noticing if I have my log file open and it says like 23 degrees of timing whereas the corresponding cell lit up in my tune says 20 degrees. WTF

 

it's the stock 02 LQ4 knock sensor settings

 

Is it safe?
