Track day Sunday!!! I'm attaching a couple logs from some test passes on the street. Probably a touch rich but what do ya think. some knock on the one but dont know if I should be concerned?? the one run that shows 9 lbs boost was set at a 2 bar map sensor so shows low boost pressure, was actually 23-24 lbs. run 3 I lowered 1st gear fueling to 124.

I never thought of that, it would be great if this eliminated the knock problem!!!

agree with Steve on that, we built a house 2 years ago. Contractor built house, I built my shop same time......I finished way ahead of them and house had/has several issues that I could take care of but instead she insists the contractor return to take care of them....which is taking forever, she gets madder every month but wont let me just get it done.

🤣🤣🤣 really need to get knock to zero but its progress!
When i add the octane booster, if I still get knock will that just confirm its false? Probably a stupid question but never had to try this. If it eliminates it what dose that tell me?

Crusing O2's act just like my other car now, numbers all over but very few below 200.
3 WOT pulls, 1 with zero knock, 1 up to 1.4 but was at 40 mph, ran up to 85, and one at 1.9, again at much lower speed than end of run....all O2 recalls were over 800. I did have some extra fuel in the chip.
Also now I do have an exhaust leak at front of drivers side header, will have to correct that.

I have considered a catch can on my car. At the track it likes to push oil out the dipstick so I pull it and put a blocked hose over it, and it does smoke a little at the end of the track so probably pushing oil out the pcv and burning it.
I think this car has an issue with a valve seal. On cold start if you let it set and idle it will start to smoke....after it is driven and warms up it stops.
Hope to test drive it this afternoon after I get my chores done

I actually did start to hear some clicking when driving, under the hood not so much. Maybe an exhaust leak, not a lifter?
No oil leaks anywhere....ye t, only a matter of time.
No octane booster yet.

Tinkering yesterday I discovered by accident the vacume line that used to go to the egr i think......the cap was broken, it only leaked when it was pushed against the wire loom there. Replaced that one. Also the turbo inlet bell has that tube that is always capped. That cap had a crack in it. Replaced that also but no test drive yet. Hopeful this might do something???

One feature to watch for is a single lever locking release like this one has. My first one had this. Thought it was a standard thing. The one I have now. You have to pull a cable loop on both sides. The single lever was WAY more convenient

Since I switched the MAF I have never heard it again.
I have some Torco I need to use in a different car, it does work, I will give that a try and see what happens
Thanks!!
