Do I need this on my Esc Cos engine?

 

Only answer anyone on here can give you is "Ask your mapper" as it MAY be disabled in your software.

A million people will now tell you it is always disabled in Pectel software, well, i did some testing with one last week on L8 and it IS NOT. It has teh same 6 degree retard map as a std file. P8 may be different.

Ask the mapper.

*Edited to clarify and then again for poor spelling*

 

Cheers Stu

Ok then.. Dave did you have a knock sensor?

Franco did Daves pectel loom have a knock sensor plug?

 

Answer the question bitch not that it will probably be the right answer Mr 'X038/39 whats the difference'

 

I would advise you to leave it plugged in and on the engine it may not be disabled within the software .

 

I have altered my reply slightly as you have a P8.

 

Stu, P8 Pectel DOES have the option for knock control to be selected.

 

Yes. But does it work is teh question as MANY mappers of pectel have told MANY customers that the strategies are NOT active in teh Pectel Software.

Since i dont use it often i have never had any great interest in fidning out, and only found out with L8 last week when doing knock tests with a car that was in for mapping with a knock link fited and realising to my interest the car was running Pectel software that supposedly would not retard upon hearing knock.

 

Stu,
Just PMed you how I know about it. Will try to find more info although I
have heard the P8 isnt usually enabled due to it not working very well.

 

Pectel software for the p8 does not use the knock sensor stratorgy their reason for this is knock sensors are shit lol.It dispays in the software that it can be enabled or disabled until you try to enable it then it shows not implimented

 

The Don himself has spoken.

 

So P8 yes.. P8 with Pectel no

 

so how did it go stu was the knock link with the head phones?
