    Re: Donut did a exposé on the consulier.

    I think they did a pretty good job too even with some of the not really right info. There's some info out there that's just "this is what we've heard so many times it must be true"

    Re: Knock volts versus degrees of retard

    I don't think it works that way but I'm curious as well.
    This is the way I interpret it: "if it's above this voltage, retard by this much"

    Have you verified that it actually retards or that the...

  6. Re: My awesome 11" brake conversion on my 87' Sundance

    Rock Auto lists 260mm ( 10.2" ) and 282mm (11.1" ) rotors but it looks like the 282mm ones have 5x114 holes.
    What rotors did you use?

    ...nevermind.. Rotors from a spirit with 11 brakes.

    fyi, phantomrt was on the right track. No need to add mufflers or anything that inhibits flow.

    Well, I think it's time to post an update and some lessons learned. Keep in mind I'm only going to cover GTP specific problems...this isn't a 2.4 into an omni post ;)

    Re: Knock threshold

    I was so worried about bolt torque and ring gap placement that I just overlooked it...stupid and costly mistake for sure.

    Thanks AJ, I'm beginning to think there is some other factor that contributes to the reading, like possibly a knock counter or a knock voltage delta. The assembly file has some odd comments about...

    Re: Knock threshold

    Thanks guys, I will be moving it to the intake.

    What still doesn't sit right with me is that the knock threshold in the cal isn't being read correctly.

    Don't worry, take your time and you'll be happy with the results.

    Re: Knock threshold

    I also verified that the knock threshold is being set correctly in the cal by actually logging knock threshold in MPScan and when it "sees" knock, the knkv is WAY below the threshold.

    Knock threshold

    I'm trying to re-calibrate knock threshold on a 2.4 swap and I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.
    Seems as though the cal isn't reading the knock threshold table.

    Re: 2.4L SMEC base cal questions and mods

    yes, The ski ramp pistons like MORE timing. I'm running dish top arias pistons so I'll start with the base low timing.

    2.4L SMEC base cal questions and mods

    Who's using the 2.4L base cal and how well does it run out of the box?

    What timing changes should be made when switching from the ski ramp pistons to the old style dish pistons?

    Re: SRT4 Consulier

    That will be factored in sometime soon. I'll keep all of the sensors so it'll be ready for MS when the time comes. Knowing my luck, the SMEC with take a dump shortly after the swap :)
