I genuinely do not like how "normal" high knock control is portrayed here. In cvt cars some knock control movement is normal and i get that but maxing it out on 1 pull is not at all normal and absolutely could be slowly ruining this guys engine while alot here are saying it would never cause any damage.
I lose my head over seeing even 2-3 knock counts in mine.
The fact of all this is knock count is the computer registering a strange combustion event no matter how you word it. 0 is normal. Any other number is not.
Knock control is the car actively trying to keep the engine from grenading. Cvt owners get the raw deal here because as was stated knock control rises with just high rpm use. Rising is one thing. Insanely high and repeatable is flat out DANGEROUS to engine health.
If i ever see over 70% on my si then the tune is complete garbage and i will wonder how much damage i just did.
Ive had to throw 4 or more degrees of advance on top of 23-24 psi to even get the knock control to react at all.
Given the risks i tend to trust it. They are too high to just shrug shoulders about it.
