"All LNF's knock 3-4*" -Trifecta

So after finally logging my fully bolted stock turbo LNF, I've noticed we are knocking... the trims are fucked also. Yet Steven from trifecta views the file when its sent to him and thinks it needs 0 revisions.

That's not cool. The knock is probably because the trims are off be both those issues are easily fixable

Last I heard is he's not wanting to change it because supposedly they all knock/its false knock. I don't think thats false knock at all.

honestly about to get it hptuned.

You should not have knock at WOT end of story, which you pedal command is 99.9% so WOT. Tip in knock is different but thats not WOT.

Also a lambda of 0.81 is stupid rich on direct injection and your LTFT at -9 with your STFT at +6 for a WOT pull is not good at all

They're just stupid. I tried to get a revision from them and they made everything worse and said it looked good to them.

The Cobalt Facebook pages are ruining the Cobalt's rep one day at a time.

Full of retarded little kiddies who actually think they know what they are talking about.

I had a local kid that never listened to my advice, but always came crawling back when his car broke or didn't run right.

So back to the OP, What exactly is that Grid showing? Is that the max knock registered for an entire log? Because its really hard to tell at what RPM the knock is at and under what conditions.

If the log was done before fully warmed then I could see 3 degrees of false knock easily

Oh i didn;t correlate the RPM at the top.

Yeah 4.5 at WOT in that high of RPM is ridiculous. Especially at 13.5 timing.

Makes me feel a hell of a lot better about my shitty self tune with HPTuners

I wanna learn to tune, did you read any books or anything? I wouldn't be so nervous if lnf wasn't di, but I know di is a world on its own for tuning.

LNF Guides
+
LNF Guide Videos

Those two sections will help you so damn much. It's really not bad once you have done it awhile. It's totally worth it. Great learning experience.

My only issue with LNF is random false knock vs. true knock. It's really hard for me to tell the difference. And hard to tell when it's related to fuel trims or too much timing. I wish I had examples of the difference
