Knock control parameters and meanings.

[FRDA250.FK7]

But that's exactly how knock control is supposed to work on the non-Si's.

K.C. will rise anytime the engine goes above 5200 rpm. It also rises under load, like up a hill.

As long as it slowly comes down, all is well.

Exactly just confirming it all seems to be in normal parameters with the same fuel.

I am interested to see how the ability to eliminate artificial knock control pans out over the next little bit. .80 seems like it would be doing a lot but if it’s just once and then back to normal driving that sounds fine, not continuous pulls when the artificial knock would be at .80

Knowing of knock control and it’s fluctuations on a stock/non-tuned motor would help normalize it a bit and give me something to make comparisons. I didn’t know about knock control before I got my k tuner and Phearable tune, but now the k tuner can track it for me but it all seems arbitrary because I didn’t know what the KC numbers were like on the stock engine.

Sounds like standard behavior.

I am going for a 3.5 hour cruise involving elevation gains. I know that my knock control increases with uphill driving. Should I leave the k tuner at home for this trip?

I'm not really sure why you're asking. That decision would be up to you.

Is a lot of uphill driving that raises knock control a reason to forgo using the tune for the trip?

Knock control is supposed to move with fuel quality and environmental factors. If you feel like bringing it along to check in you should.

Sheesh Finally found more discussion about the Knock Control safe range and ideal. Thanks, Gtman and Ktuner and others. I feel a bit reassured and more understanding these units represent.
