Re: High Knock in my Talon

Well after going crazy over this ever since the first day I bought me car, my knock issues now seem to be gone. After switching to E85, and using an intake that places the filter by the stock SMIC location, I have not been seeing tons of knock anymore. Yaay!!

I doubt the intake had much to do with it. E85 solved all my knock problems as well. (this is starting to sounds like an infomercial).

I bring up the intake because there was a thread on the link forums about placing the filter in the smic location. They were receiving significantly less
knock after moving the filter there. I did it at the same time as I switched to e85, so I can't say 100% or not if it helped. But those 2 things are what I did and I ripped her around the neighborhood a good bit and didn't have any knock.
