POWER FC USERS
 

Hi, has anyone here got a power FC on a 1995ish wrx import, if so what kind of readings do you get on the knock sensor? ive had peaks of 67 at times...is this really bad??? and will putting octain in help the problem

How does the car drive ?When were the plugs and coil packs last checked? Any slight misfires or holding back?

67 is quite high. Would speak with your mapper. If you have the commander then you could try taking 4 points of the ignition and see if that reduces the knock levels. If it does then its a good chance your suffering from det.

only got it fitted/mapped the other day with new plugs fitted, hks ones i belive...prob was they got turned the boost ect down cos they said my injectors and MAF were maxing out so its only running 273hp/320lbft ish torque
i dunno how to change settings yet, but ill look into it, not noticed it holding back, but it does flash the CEL light when im booting it in high gears

jay what czuses det btw

dont worry mate i've got the same problem since mine was mapped, its partly to do with the hot weather, saturating the intercooler, i should imagine its det, i get it at high revs, just turn the boost down and be careful, dont let it happen if u can otherwise you'll have a big bill! going to get mine sorted next week, if its det ring zen performance and they can talk u thru taking out 4 points on he timing and it should help.

Cheers benj

how about putting ice around the cooler and adding 4 more. lol
