I bow to your superior knowledge.

The ECU retards when it detects knock - FACT
It reacts faster than any human (even a super human like a webmaster!) - FACT
Don't even get me onto the **** use of Det-Cans
Have you ANY idea how stupid you look sat there in the drivers seat with a pair of headphones on, carressing a LapTop and getting a hard-on at the very thought of the up-and-coming Rolling Road shootout!!

Pete,
When are you going to realise that we all have limitations..... yours are obviously lower than most single celled organisims.
The ECU will detect DET and will TRY and reduce it... BUT only within set parameters. That does not mean the ECU will get rid of DET, so to not cause damage or an engine failure.

Taking an engine out of its design envelope may require special measures ... but a CockLink is NOT one!!
I repeat that it is adjusted upon assembly into the car so that it does NOT light red!! WTF point is THAT??
Also, the knock sensor Subaru placed and supplied is in the BEST place for one .... therefore the CockLink Sensor will NOT be in the best place and will pick up all kinds of noise from everywhere.

With regard to your assertion that you can feel detonation (which youve made countless times when you troll in threads like this); Im sure that any one here with even a small degree of mechanial knowledge, will be aware that an engine can be destroyed by detonation and the driver wont know until his crankshaft fails.

Pete,
Again your superior knowledge is astounding!!!
Take a standard engine and standard map. Take a faulty regulator or a faulty fuel pump (fuel pump not flowing as it should or regulator reducing pressure slightly)..... what could be induced..... low and behold DET. The ECU may try to do everything it can to reduce the DET (by retarding ignition) but the ECU can only do so much and DET could still continue.

So??? Do we have destroyed Subaru engines all over the place due to DET problems???
WE DO NOT!!!!!
Some weeks ago you were claimimg that COMMA Oil will destroy my engine ...this week it's DET!!

Suppose you didn't have the pain response. What would be your first warning then that something was wrong? A cracked skull, perhaps? Blackout? A brain haemorrhage? Nasty. But at least you might recover on your own, given time.
Engines don't heal.

And could you please tell us how a CockLink, adjusted to not show red, would have assisted you in that engine fault??
And I can EASILY hear pinking!!

You must have good hearing, if you can hear DET at high RPM and high prolonged speed.

You may ask why is it so pointless, I'll let you into a secret as to how the CockLinks are set-up .............. fix CockLink to vehicle, start engine and ADJUST, YES!!! ADJUST the device until no red light is seen!!!!
WTF????????????
LOL ..... Lewis is really showing his ignorance here of how a knocklink is set up and also of its purpose and usefulness.
So, because he can't work it out it must be crap in his screwed up head.

Lewis sounds almost insane on this thread. I can almost hear him cackling madly and playing a discordant fugue on his tiny organ, like the phantom of the O(ap)era.

I'm NOT going to follow the ScoobyNet ***** and scare the crap out of newbies .................... no need for CockLinks, and thats my EXPERT opinion!
Now, I understand that you have CockLinks lighting up your dashes and you think it makes you look 'really' cool and makes you feel that you have a 'really' special car that needs 'really' special things - BUT you are living a dream!
Sorry to be the one to 'pop' your bubble ....... and your mummy thought you were really special with a special car with special lights ... awwwwww!
