It's in a good place where I feel comfortable driving it around and doing the odd pull while watching the parameters on my phone. I'm pretty happy with the fuel map - I couldn't find a lot of specific info for this platform, but I got a general sense of what is a safe target for a road tune and how to structure the various zones. I was going to see if I could start a separate discussion about that in the future.
Knock isn't completely resolved and I've restarted the ignition timing map multiple times. As mentioned my initial tune had way too much timing causing the audible knock. As a new base I've used the OTS base/advance map with 4 degrees removed. I've also removed about 1 degree per pound of boost. My second attempt at building an ignition map was quite aggressive in retarding knock. I almost never saw any knock in cruising conditions including 6th gear up a hill, but at WOT I had negative timing and was still seeing the odd knock in mid-high load. That didn't make sense to me and I suspected the timing was too low.
So right now I'm on my third attempt which isn't as retarded and now I see around 5-10 degrees of timing during a WOT pull - that seems to work well but I'm seeing more knock during cruise conditions I'm trying to correct. Current knock correction goals are:
- During cruise: Knock events are okay as long as they don't lower advance multiplier
- During WOT: All knock events are bad
