hopefully ill be able to make it, if i can get my knock problem fixed by then

 

[Gnboy]

what kind of knock are you having?

 

[daviss]

Sounds like a good time. I'll try to clear my schedule.

i swapped injectors and chip over the winter. i turned the boost down to 16 and fp to 44. my first run i take it out, i gave it about 3/4 throttle and it gave me 12.9 kn on my scanmaster. i got out of the throttle real fast. my o2s were around 825. i tried adjusting it a little and same results. i had a thrasher in it before and it gave me a little knock but not bad. i think something else is wrong with it. so i plan on spending this weekend spring cleaning and tuning.

Could be false knock. Check and make sure your downpipe is not hitting against anything.

 

[quickbrick]

my downpipe is pretty close to the header. i cant seem to get it far enough away from the header. the dp is welded to the test pipe. so i cant move it too much. i might have to just by a new test pipe(it needs it anyway) and route it diferently if possible. i had the downpipe like this last year and it never knocked like this.

I had a problem like that but it ended up to be valve springs

 

[quickbrick]

ive never changed mine since ive had the car. its got 130k on it. that might be my problem. are they hard to change?

 

[Gnboy]

yes and no not real hard but you have to get a special tool to compress the springs due to external dampners on them as well as being a rail mount rocker and the pass side valve cover is a biatch to remove
