Just installed my interceptor. VERY easy to install and im very happy with it.

first thing i was curious about was knock and HP so i took it for a 10 minute rip to see what showed up.

at about 6700rpm in 3rd i was hitting 270hp which was sweet as hell to see (i know its crank and i know its not super accurate but its ******* sexy anyway ok? haha)


but the knock had me very curious....
im at 2700ft alt, and right now its about 10 below (celcius) so that may be causing this reading im not sure....

but when i first backed out of the garage....engine fairly cold....let it warm up a few minutes while i played with the guage....then i revved it up and saw the knock reach 7 hehe

i figured....hmmm probably not accurate when revving an unloaded engine....so i drove around and it stayed at 0.0 all the time which was good.

I did notice it creep up to 0.7-1 when i got it up to the 7k redline in 2nd and 3rd.
and a little burst up to 1-1.5 during shifts....


Is this kind of thing normal?
The best gas i can find in my area is 91 unfortunately, and im sure the cold weather isnt helping......is this kind of reading ok? normal?


Thanks for the input.

 

Ive never gotten a clear answer on this either, GL

 

i know alot of you have interceptors :P bump

 

no one has an interceptor and watched the knock parameter?

 

Its normal, getting .7 degrees of knock is nothing. After you let off the gas and get knock its just the car reacting to going from tons of air and fuel in the cylinders to almost nothing. I tuned for a week and a half and still get .5-1 degree of knock when I let off.
