ok before my setup now
I had the stock regulator, THDP with test, thrasher 92 chip, boost air fuel knock gauges
I was getting knock at about 15 psi
someone pointed out that I need 45psi static pressure for the chip
so in the same day I put in a 60psi regulator(waiting for my adjustable), RJC power plate, and installed the BSC controller from ramchargers
I drove the car last night at WOT, knock gauge stayed in green and did not budge, my boost went to 16-17ish
tonight I tried the same thing and it was at about the same psi
now just for the hell of it I wanted to test the boost controller to see how it was working, I put it on minimum boost cause I was scared of messing with it without knowing what was going to happen
so I hit it, the boost gauge went up to 15psi, passed it and stopped at 20-21psi, no knock on gauge, second gear hits and the gauge starts going yellow, 3rd hits and it goes to the last yellow led and thats where I stopped
how can I prevent knock in other gears? I was running 93octane and 1 quart of xylene(heard its good to get octane up and clean injectors)
before anyone says it, I have a hotwire racetronix pump kit on its way and the adj FPR
I am afraid that they wont arrive fast enough for when I go to the track on wednesday
so what can I do as a safety net precaution?
I am going to buy like a 5 gallon of xylene tommorow(which by the way can it be mixed with 100 octane unleaded?)
anything else?
sorry for being so long
thanks
Carl
