Hello everyone,
Trying to figure out where to go from here. So I recently picked up a tune from Unleashed. After uploading the tune we were getting some crazy +6.0 all over the place at WOT. We've been through many revisions to the point where he said it's pretty much at stock advance and we can't go any lower.
It is quite happy and content anywhere from 20% to 60% throttle, and adds timing all over the place. She seems happy there. In third I can carry from 2k RPM to 6.5k RPM at 60% and I will add timing the entire time, always in the negative knock. At any point if I put the pedal on the floor I instantly peg +6.0 knock. Through the logs you can watch it's instantaneous. Where WOT is desired, the KS line to +6.0 is a vertical wall to +5-6 KS. To me it seems strange that if I pull the pedal just a hair above WOT I get Timing advance the entire time even at near redline.
This weekend we went to a local race shop and had them mix us some fuel. Good friend of mine who works there said it should come out to about 98 octane. Anything under WOT and it loves it. But the same WOT woes, leading me to believe it's definitely not a fuel issue. Actually at WOT with the high octane it seems like it wants to hesitate, as if it cannot make up it's mind whether to trigger the VVT or not. It'll kind of hang around the 3.5k RPM range.
I've personally dealt with harsh knock issues in the past leading to engine failure and this seems NOTHING remotely the same. I exhibit zero audible knock. Doesn't seem to have much issue when it pulls timing.
Where do I go from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
