You can play more to fix that s.trim region if you got plemty of time. If not, +/-5 is already good.
Low rpms(2k below) and low loads(no boost/less 15% tps) wont destroy an engine even if you can hear a knock. This will only hurt your k.control/performace making it rise unnecessarily. There is a tab called knock sensitivity. You can play with that.
Worst this can happen is rise up you k.control while cruising slowly in the freeway and by the time you decided to gun it. Your k.control is already high to begin with making you lose performance.
Appreciate your sharing on this. I'm new into this and your sharing of experience has given me more confident on what i'm trying to do. At least I know where I'm heading to is not into some deep valley or over the cliff :D .
Yeah I noticed after I have a few minutes of spirited drive (4-5k rpm), the car seems soft down and I can feel the power lost after that when my k.control is at 60s or 70s. Is this common to Civic X due to the artificial k.control on high rpm thing ?
It really soft down the car.
I have been tweaking around on higher AF voltage area where it seems to be runs lean 3-10 percent at 2-3V region, not sure if it is fine to leave it like that or should I pay efforts to bring it down.
It is the same when I just started the car, it will be stay on +ve strim value like 3-7 percents, not sure if it is healthy ? I know some say the more you know the detail, the more you get yourself into trouble, but I just want to know what I doing is not killing my car :D.
I have been doing lots of reflash due to fine tune the strim.
Overall this high tune calibration really makes my car more drivable in the city, overtaking is easy and more agile.
