Who's Knocking ...?
Ok, i was doing a couple runs with my dsmlink logging my knock at different rpm's etc... I was wondering, HOW MUCH KNOCK IS TOO MUCH? I have all forged internals by the way. Also my knock isnt bad at all when i run 93 octane .. which i put in evertime i fuel up pretty much. But about once a week i am allowed to get my car fueled at my company cost but i can only put in 87 octane. After doing runs on 87 octane my knock is going CRAZIII ... i was just wondering .. how much knock is WAY TOO MUCH >>>???<<< THANX ALOT GUYZ ... i frikkin love automotive forums

Re: Who's Knocking ...?
are you talking about wot knock? or just cruising knock. Either way, don't put that 87 octane in your car unless you're willing to retard timing quite a bit to compensate.

Re: Who's Knocking ...?
Yeah, 87 in a turbo car is a very big no no. You definately dont want to run that 87 shit anymore, thats a really good way to fuck up your forged internals.

Re: Who's Knocking ...?
Turbos don't like 87... You want nothing but the super premium or whatever they call it. The only way to run on 87 (so I heard), was to not hit boost. Then, what's the point of having a turbo then ;-)
