Okay well i know my Knock correction numbers were a lot lower then Cody's were. like 0-3 , so my ecu must have been pulling the timing a bit . and maybe still is. Although this may be partly due to my K &N air intake kit as indicated on a diff thread...
well going from 42 to 60 in 3rd on a steep up hill only seemed to yeild .08 or .09
If the ecu is detecting knocks would it decrease your max boost at all ? or does it only affect your timing?
(i've never heard any engine knock, but i'm rather tone deaf and i don't think i'de hear it over the wind / ski rack noise anyways)
Suggestions at this point ? well since i have 5 more bottles of octane booster already , i'm tentively planning on just using 1 per tank, and hopefully i can test my knock correction number in a week or two and see if the added octane helps at all?
Also Should i leave in stock air intake - plastic tubing that goes from the front of the hood into the fender? will that assist in moving cold air towards my short ram air intake ? (i was thinking I could maybe mod that further and fix up a proper elbow peice (where the resoninator goes) and fix on a Bell like peice directly from that elbow to the K&N (if the placement of the stuck intake really does get a lot of air flow might be worth it ? or a fun waste of time i dunno)
Again thankx
want to get every pennies worth out of my car , and yall seem to know every bolt in a subaru
