Your argument against knocklink's seem's to be about as valid as your argument's against gold wheels.
& as for posting under multiple user names ...dont judge us all by your standards

If it is there because the ECU being used has no retard facility then I can see where it could be of use ...... but, of more use would be some device to retard the ignition if det is detected (not simply backing off on the throttle).
I cannot believe that anyone would be so stupid as to fit an ECU which has no retard ability!?

You should rerain from commenting on subjects about which you have little or no understanding.

2. Correct - your point being?? Thats like saying "not all houses burn down if you don't have a working smoke detector" ..... ie. a worthless, pointless statement!
3. My argument against Gold Wheels has nothing to do with CockLinks - now, you being as clever as you are, would believe that Gold Flakes fly off the wheels at high speed and therefore you need this Gold Flake Catcher Mesh that you would happily fit over your air intake - THEN come on here and argue its case!
4. I do NOT post under any name other than the one I am posting under right now - I have better things to do with my time ....... you, however, have posted at TWO users above!!
You are clearly an idiot!

The word 'virtually' is as weak as your argument!!
I wish ScoobyNet had a retard facility ..... then when you posted we would all get red lights flashing on our monitors!!

Next youll be telling me that you can detect detonation yourself; showing us that you dont even understand what we are talking about.
Looking at the crap that you post, only the truly stupid would take your advice, so this thread has served some purpose at least.

Getting the thread back on-track again could one of you techys help me out please .........
If a knock link is listening for slight sounds in the engine which has been stated, is it only a turbo charged car gimmic or is it something to be used on any car? I ask as I have only ever heard of it on Scoobs, EVO's and Supra's ....
This is not a trolling question, I am interested.
Cheers
Gary

Think about why force-fed engines require an intercooler. These engines run hotter than NA engines and therefore, closer to the point of detonation or 'knock'.

They have intercoolers .... not to cool the engine you muppet, but to cool the incoming air!!!
Cold air = more dense air = more power
FFS I am surrounded by half-wits!!

I have yet to see HARD evidence that the ECU on an Impreza cannot retard enough to save the engine.
Do we have millions of Subaru engines around the world destroyed by DET? Do we fooook!!
I have yet to see any HARD evidence that a CockLink saved an engine - it is simply 'hearsay' and that, frankly, does not stack up in my world where I deal in FACTS!

'11. Check the boost pressure. Controlling the amount of boost in a turbocharged engine is absolutely critical to prevent detonation. The turbo wastegate bleeds off boost pressure in response to rising intake manifold pressure. On most late-model engines, a computer-controlled solenoid helps regulate the operation of the wastegate. A malfunction with the manifold pressure sensor, the wastegate control solenoid, the wastegate itself or a leak in the vacuum connections between these components can allow the turbo to deliver too much boost, which destroys the head gasket as well as the engine in short order if not corrected.
Improved intercooling can help reduce detonation under boost. The intercooler's job is to lower the incoming air temperature after it exits the turbo compressor. Adding an intercooler to a turbo motor that isn't intercooled (or installing a larger or more efficient intercooler) can eliminate detonation worries while also allowing the engine to safely handle more boost.'
Note the 'Improved intercooling'.

NOT the engine as you indicated - YOU were WRONG!!! You remember what you said? Turbo Engines run hotter than NA Engines and therefore need an intercooler!!?? .............. which is clearly bollox!
I will accept your apology when you post it

ENGINES RUN HOTTER is what you said ...... and thats why an intercooler is employed ...... WRONG ..... an intercooler does not cool the engine!

May I draw your attention to POST 115 ....
'Answer me this simply question .... does the Intercooler cool the engine?? Which is what you said ....
Well??'
Would you care to answer that??

The intercooler cools the air that enters the engine, just as the radiator cools the coolant that circulates the engine.......COOLING THE ENGINE!
I suppose you don't agree with the water gauge either? A man would know when the engine is getting hot!
