Being sitting on the desk for 8 months 😬 Question thou, would you expect to see any knock on e85? Will a car knock at all on ethanol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnas Gold Donating Members 105 Member For: 14y 11m 14d Posted 20/06/20 02:08 AM Share Posted 20/06/20 02:08 AM I see... I would think it would be well past making power by the time it starts knocking then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some tuning and compared in virtual dyno. Giant pita coming inside, chopping and adjusting data, then going back out to the car, driving then coming back inside, plugging and unplugging the laptop and wideband logger etc Still running minimum boost but with some boost control to keep it as consistent as possible. I can feel a very very slight surging on boost and it's not the boost control or anything tune related. It got marginally worse once I added 40 litres of E85 to the third of a tank that was already 3/4 E85. This leads me to think it's not lighting off properly and cos I cbf pulling the coil cover twice I didn't bother with plugs today. I'll update when I get the coils in next week with the new plugs. Gonna go and buy some beer now and let my brain relax from all the looking at data 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
