My car is retarded. I've got enough mods that I think I should be able to run a 3.0 pulley with no problems. But I'm still seeing KR with a 3.25. I thought it was false but at times it looks to be real, but other times it doesn't show up at all, but sometimes its just a degree or so right after the shifts, but sometimes if 4-5° for several seconds.

Last night I took the S/C belt off (holy crap this car is a dog w/o the S/C) and did a scan. I saw 0°KR the entire time, through all throttle positions and shifts and everything. That makes me think that the KR I see is real. Then I scan with the 3.25 on. I'm only driving on city streets so my only runs were up to 60-70, basically through first gear and the 1-2 shift. My first little jaunt I saw <1°KR, the next time I did a little jaunt from a rolling start through the same speed range and gear change and I only saw KR right after the shifts and only about 1°. Then a minute or so later, from a 35-40 roll, I get into it and downshifts to 2nd and I see +4°KR up to about 70. It spikes up to 4° right after the shift and then slowly goes back down to 0° over about 3 seconds. I'm not sure if my KR recovery is working slow or if its' real KR and the pulled timing is making it slowly disappear?

My KR is so inconsistant that it seems to be false, but when I lose the S/C belt I see NO kr which makes me think that it's real. I have no idea what to do or where I stand. Frustrating!!! Any thoughts?

best way to tell if it's real: do a scan then plot KR vs. MAP (boost) and/or KR vs. MAFF
If the only time you get KR is when MAP is above 30 inHg and/or MAFF is > 7KHz then it's real KR.

Remember too about KR recovery is you will only get maximum recovery if the KR is gone after the first event. If there is knock, then the PCM will keep pulling timing until it goes away. Then it will recover and resample. if the KR is still there then it will pull timing again. So you will get a spiky curve. Usually with false KR you'll get a spike but it will recover fairly quickly (assuming the recovery rate is faster than the false knock event e.g. DP hitting swaybar or some harmonic at a certain RPM)

Here are several groupings from one 5 minutes scan. Pay no attention to the lack of tuning. I've got idle and cruise relatively close but have not messed with WOT O2's until I figure the KR thing out. Most of them show nothing out of the ordinary, just small blips at shifts and down shift. But on a couple downshifts, one from about 65 into second gear and one from about 50 to second gear, I get strong KR for a couple seconds and then it goes away as it keeps accelerating. It's the KR at these downshifts that bug me. Any thoughts?

do you have poly upper mounts?? When i replaced my stockers with poly's, one of the stockers was actually broken when we pressed it out of the support whole. Threw in the poly's, and KR was 0. I ran a my 3.2 pulley that day at atco, with 0 KR. I couldn't believe it. Something to maybe look into.

I agree 100% and these will be ordered in the next day or so. I've been holding off on these because of hearing stories about bad vibrations transfered from the engine. This seemed to be mainly from the guys that replaced both sets of top mounts, the square ones and the cylindrical ones. I'm only going to do the square ones and see what happens. I believe that will get rid of everything except that issue when I go WOT from a 50 roll. That's my main concern.

Is it possible to get KR from too much fuel?? My WOT O2's are 1000+ at times. Could that be a possibility? It doesn't make sense to me how being too rich would cause KR, but if I'm already rich and seeing KR I don't want to lean out.

BTW- I'm kinda gun shy with ANY kr since my wallet is still recovering from a popped piston incident.

my friend has the xp cam and a ss i/c and has the same problems as you. I still dont think they move enough water/air ratio

 

[swinginbeef]

Think I might have found the cause of the knock when going WOT from a 50 roll. Looks to be Acceleration Enrichment issues, and I'll probably need computer work to tune them away.

Time to start saving for a tuner.

No Offense to what you think is the solution to your problem, but why is it that I hear people talk about running 0KR all the time and they don't have a tuner to deal with Acceleration Enrichment or Power Enrichment. I think there is a root cause of your problem and you're hastily deciding the Tuner is the only way to resolve your "burst" KR.

I have the same issues as you and I have a LOT more modifications and still have KR. It is disgusting to think that I cannot resolve my KR issues without turning to a Tuner program. There were MANY cars running with 0KR and lots of modifications before any tuners were even available. It just feels like we're jumping onto a bandwagon to eliminate symptoms caused by something that we do not understand or have the time and persistence to track down.

 

[swinginbeef]

I'm not sure about people running 0KR all the time or if they run 0KR while they are scanning. If I go from a stop to a 1/4 mile or 110mph or whatever, I see 0 KR. That is what most people scan. They scan a 0-100 run and see no knock so they assume they run 0KR 100% of the time.

I'm not saying that AE and PE tuning is for sure the problem. I'm saying that my problem fits the symptoms. If you have a better idea of how I might eliminate this burst knock without a tuner, I'd be grateful to hear it. I'd even spend a pretty substantial amount of energy pursuing it. I'd love to lose that knock without a tuner.

 

[dirtnyureye]

With your modifications, I would think you would get 0 KR all the time. Hell, if you look at my modifications, you would think the same too:

3.0 Mag Snout Pulley
MSP Intake
ICCU
Stage 1X Cam
RAT Monster Stage II TB
TOG Headers
MAP I/C
Lucas 42.5lb injectors
9.5:1 CR Diamond Forged Pistons
DHP PCM w/larger injectors table & adjustable timing
Borla Exhaust w/Ubend removed

There is something wrong with both of our cars if we get KR with our modifications. There are many others that run less mods and get 0KR all the time (so they say- I understand your point about logging only once).

I can make a 0-100 run after starting the car up and get 0KR. Several minutes later, I see 3-5 KR consistently throughout the band when I punch it. I can tell you that I have tried to 'tune' out this KR using an ICCU with little success.

All I am saying is don't give up and sell yourself to a tuner. Look for things that may be suspicious. I think the Poly Motor Mounts is a good first stab at trying to resolve your KR. I hope you will post your results- good or bad and how it affected your KR. I am anxious to see the results; as I would likely follow suit if it worked for you.

Additionally, I noticed in your logs that you are running very rich when you are getting KR. Under my own observations, I have seen my car respond VERY POORLY to rich O2 values. When I richen up using the ICCU by changing the MAF % by only a few percentage points, my car can see up to 11KR. If I change the MAF values back down, it runs a lot better. If you can reduce the O2 Values by a little (930-940) and then run again, I'd be interested in what your KR values are. I would suspect almost 0.

In a supercharged environment, your early runs will always offer better results versus the following consecutive ones, heat soak of the supercharger is a primary reason for this. If you want consistant runs, one would need to do something that either compensates for this (increase cool down time, ice on the S/C, intercooler) and doesn't overly heat up the intake charge, change the A/F mixture and causing issues like what we are seeing.

Of course I am no uning expert and could be WAY off, but its a strong factor to consider, IMHO.

Jut my 2 cents.
