Wondering if Stock Knock sensor good enough to rely on thru PFC??

 

I think I answered it myself thru some searching..

I'm starting to learn more about tuning and my other question is, can I log knock levels with datalogit?? I don't quite remember as last time I read datalogit manual was about a year ago.

Thanks

 

Phil,

Log knock under Basic functions. Knock readings are valid only at WOT.

Thanks Mark!

I guess I need to start playing the the datalogit! How are things going with you?

Thanks for the link Mark!

I've actually taken EFI101 last weekend in ATL... I guess it was worth it ($420 with all the discount). But they didn't cover much about rotaries. Funny thing was, they guy kept saying, "the principle of tuning is the same as piston engines.." But when I asked him about more specifics, he had no clue.

Another thing Ive learned is importance of using load bearing dynos.

They way I was going to go about was looking at other MAPS and see what kind of timing people are using. Then, get the a/f tuned in and fine tune the timing. I was going to datalog the knock and see if slight change in timing will show thru the knock.. I'm not sure it will....

Also, I need to take the cat out of my MB FD. The black one is still down but I'm going to take 3-4 days off during thanksgiving time to work on it.

 

Seems like you would have learn more for $35.

 

Thanks Chuck! You make me feel so much better about going to that class.. LOL!

Any advice on street tuning?? Like I said, I'm kind of starting new with this tuning thing and any advice you give me would be greatly appreciate it!! You are the man far as PFC tuning goes

 

Buy Chuck's notes, it has most of the learnings that Chuck and I distilled from the tuning savy folks before they bailed from to forum, plus most of the stuff that we developed on our own thru years of experimentation. I personally guarantee that it will save you loads of time in setup, troubleshooting, tuning, and if fully applied your driveability will be awesome.

Good luck, you'll love tuning.

 

the notes i got from chuck taught me pretty much everything there was bout tuning the 35r. I've solved my idle issues and soon will be hooking up the lm1 for tuning. it was worth every cent and more.

 

Where do I get this Note?

 

PM cewrx7r1 and purchase his notes ...

 

I've PM'd Chuck and bought it yesterday afternoon. I haven't had chance to look though.
