Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
All good. I've been ok for the most part with washing off engine. Got water in a spark plug tube on my 95 Civic LX Sedan w/ B18C5. Caused a misfire. That was a fun car! This has been the only issue I've had with this Si. I do know I have sprayed a lot of water around that area recently because the oil pressure sending unit decided to start P1$$ing oil so I needed to get that cleaned up.
I am just starting to get into detailing products! I did a full clean on my car the week before. Its quite rewarding I find. Almost like therapy. My car will be the guinea pig... We also own a 2021 Chev Tahoe which is black on black on black. So I REALLY want to learn how to properly care for the paint. It looks so good when it is clean...

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Took it out for a drive this evening. No issues with the VTEC pressure switch/water. I'm glad it was a simple fix. I'll just have to be a little careful when blasting water around...
I took a quick look at the log. I feel like you have done a fantastic job getting this all sorted out. To me it doesn't appear to lean out anymore but I will let you be the judge of that. I have not seen a knock in the last few days so I feel that you have that all sorted out as well. Thank you thank you.

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Yeah the datalog looks good. Keep making datalogs over the next few days, when you review the datalogs, look for the k. control value and verify that it comes down to around 56 or so. Right now it's reading extremely high at 144, I'm curious if the knock sensor was damaged from the washing of the engine bay. With no knock, there is no reason for the k control to be that high, and in your previous datalogs it was in the right range. So keep your eye on that, and while that value is high the car may not have as much power because the ECU will pull timing because it thinks it is seeing knock. At part throttle it's pulling 3-10*, and WOT it's pulling around 4* of timing. Let me know how it goes over the next few days on that k control value. Or post the datalogs so I can look over them. Other than that, it looks good, I'm just curious about that k control value now and our lean issue does appear to be good now.
Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
I have a number of short logs from today. I could see that the knock control started around 100 and had come down to 62-64 by the end of the day. Just when I think its good something goes funny. So many values to look at. Aye. I'll post these logs and just monitor it s then post another log in a few days.

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Okay yeah it looks better. Just scared me when I saw the k control that high honestly. Our lean issue does look better, but make a datalog this week with a couple third gear pulls from 2500-8600 so we can verify. I want to make sure it's all perfect before we call it good.
Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Hello. Just a quick update. I haven't had a chance to get out and drive it to do some logs. On my usual routes they have started construction so there is another reason. Need to find a quiet stretch of road. I'm hoping by the end of this week I will be able to. Thank you

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
No problem. Man there is construction everywhere, we have a bunch going on near me too. Can't drive anywhere without dodging construction bumps and other crap. Just keep me in the loop.
Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Finally got out for a decent drive. Was able to do 2 3rd gear pulls in this drive. Clear road, no construction. 2 knocks on this one. Earlier in the day the knock control was down to 51 but I find it does come up to 60 after a restart and of course it does come up once a knock it detected. I have another log from earlier in the week where I did 1 pull. I just need to find it. I have made multiple logs since the event explained below.
Another odd thing happened earlier in the week. I was going on an on-ramp/clover leaf, turning right high revs in second-sitting around 7800-8200rpm and by the end of it 8 knocks came up. Unfortunately I did not have a log running, again. I have been meaning to try and recreate that but I have not had a chance to get there again. My other worry when doing silly things like this is the police... We have so many unmarked vehicles here.
Thank you

Found the log with 1 pull. I had to search through 30 logs... Aye. I haven't been good about uploading them this week...

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Fueling looks good again. See if you can replicate the high knock count you experienced. I slowed down the ignition where I would imaging you saw it, but it's just a guess. At part throttle in that range, I slowed the timing down.
Here is the next one. I addressed the real know as well.

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Yes it would have been part throttle in 2nd around that bend. I will do what I can to recreate it. Get's a little sketchy doing it. Tires squealing the whole time. lol I was chasing down a Subaru when I did it... Thank you for the update.

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Yeah that's what I sort of imagined in my head to think where you might have seen knock. All that matters is you were chasing that Subaru down, haha. (And being safe at the time of course)
Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
Hello. How are you? We received a wicked heat wave since early last week. I'm sure my car is not enjoying it. For the most part it has been really good over the last couple weeks up until today. I did do a couple 3rd gear pulls for fun in the last week. I have those logs attached to this post.
This morning on my drive to work I did have a couple knocks. This afternoon it was hot and I had the A/C on. Ended up getting 5 knocks while in traffic. Just thought it was really strange. I don't know if the high temperature and having the A/C on had anything to do with it. Maybe it did. I feel bad because you offered to do this for me and it has taken quite a bit of time now. Aye. Thank you.
So as I was writing this I was trying to upload the second log from today. For some reason is it not loading or has no data in it even though the log is on the flashpro. Its weird. I'll try restarting everything and go from there.

Re: 2008 Si Sedan map suggestions please and thank you
No problem, I see I didn't have your ignition compensation tables setup for higher temps. I usually have it pull some timing as the temps go up, I had it for your high load stuff like WOT pulls, but not for low load like part throttle driving. I went in and made some changes to that in this next one for you.
Also, I don't mean to critique your driving style, but one of the knock happened when you went WOT in 4th gear at 12mph and 1000rpm. That isn't very good for the engine, and it will almost always knock if you do that because of the areas of the table it reads. I pulled some timing out in that area to try to help in case you do it again, but I wouldn't make a habit of WOT acceleration in 4th gear at 1000rpm. These cars need to be wound up in proper gear to get them moving. You might have just been testing something, so I'm just mentioning it so we can avoid this driving style in the future is all.
Other than that, take this next one for a spin and see if you can drive it in similar temps and conditions. If it still sows knock, then we'll work on the tables. For now, the compensations I added will help to proactively reduce ignition to avoid knock. But we'll see. Just keep me in the loop.

Ya that one log is corrupted or something. Just got rid of it.
WOT in 4th? What was I doing? lol I'll have a look at the log and see why or what I was doing. I know I was stuck in traffic yesterday morning... Thank you
