I would love to see a tts datamaster log of an lt1 stock, and also of one with minor boltons. Preferably with headers and a cold air intake. This would be a huge help to me to see where I am at with my car, and my tune. Any sites and have a bunch of these *.uni files?

I want to remove the 2 degrees of timing being pulled for a nitrous tune I have from Ion. How would I do this in tunercat?

I ran some toluene through my car today to raise my octane level to around 100-105 I beleive, and am still getting the same level of knock retard. It looks like worn motor mounts and my exhaust setup are causing this problem. What would be the variable to change in tunercat to remove all timing retard by the PCM?
Thanks

 

I figured out how to remove the timing retard altogether. I still have not found where I can remove the 2* retard that Ion put in for nitrous. Unless by changing the Knock retard vs MAP readings to zero took it out as well...

*edit*
Car runs like a top now without all that timing being pulled. After I did my headers I have been getting anywhere from 2-7 degrees pulled most of the time. If anyone needs to use tunercat to remove all knock retard, you must change the Max Knock Retard vs MAP and Max Knock retard vs RPM all to zero. Only do this if you are SURE you have false knock. The fans WILL kick on when writing to the memory, take those fans relays fuses out because with a weak battery you are screwed. I didn't and got lucky.

 

Wow, just be careful. Not letting your car use knock retard at all is a little dangerous, in case you really need knock retard sometime.

False knock plagued me for years. Bottom line is you need ti check everything to find out what false knock is...and still not be sure it is false.

Tough going you have and a hard decision to not protect your engine.

 

For how much knock retard I was getting, I was told I would be able to hear it no problem. The knock retard started right after my LT header install so I am sure it's fake. I've been battling it for 4 months and came to the conclusion its my motor mounts, or the side exhaust. Now if down the line my engine developes real knock...then I would be in trouble.

Still no one with any datamaster logs I could look at?

 

I'm not sure how looking at someone elses datalog will help you out. All you will see is a log with little, or no knock.

I can send you one of mine if you want, as I'm also a bolt-on M6.

That would be swell. I'm new to datalogging and it still facinates me what I could have done with a laptop years ago. I just want one log from another car to see how everything compares to mine. BLM's, WOT, etc. I was looking for the file first to attempt to TS the knock problem more. But since I just tuned it out, now its more for looking at and comparison.
