Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule

I have run DCTC for the BMW driving clinics and it's like a mini road course. Running the Evo at 30psi was a mistake, 15-20psi would have been more than enough for how tight that course is.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule

I was supposed to have shane tune it this week, which ended up getting cancelled... I had him burn me a 'safe' chip but for some reason its phantom knocking like crazy with this EEPROM ECU that I am using...

If I even put a knock sensor on my setup it would report 'knock' practically 100% of the time (Bosch sensor).

If you know it's phantom, is there a way with your setup to prevent the car from pulling timing?

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule

So when I use a non-EEPROM turbo ECU, i only get a few counts at higher RPMs... which I think might be legitimate knock (though I cannot hear it... I don't have a trained ear for that) But when I use an EEPROM ECU with stock chip, or a chipped ECU with Shane's basemap, I get phantom knock like crazy, car pulls timing all over the place.

Car has a 4G64 with 14b... wastegate boost - 10lbs. In theory it shouldn't be knocking...

And now I can't get my old piece of shit palm pilot to load MMCD, so i'm up shits creek on even being able to verify anything.
