    finally installed my jrsc but engine knocks

    so i finally installed my jrsc and i uploaded a base tune and im running 650cc, 3.8 pulley, i/h/e. my motor is stock and has 110k and it runs fine on normal driving but when i try to hit boost my engine starts knocking bad. im a noob when it come to jrsc but did anyone ever ran into this problem? or should i just wait for my tune.

    Which base map did you upload?

    I'm looking at the list of calibrations supplied with Kpro and I don't see any that match your setup.

    Are you sure you didn't upload the JRSC tune for the K20A2?

    Also, DO NOT drive the car any further. If you HEARD the knocks then you could have done some serious damage to your engine.

    Get it towed to your tuner after having it thoroughly inspected to see if it is even okay to tune it after what happened.

    yeh im sure i used it for a k20a3. im using my friends tune with almost the same setup at mine but i change out the 440cc to 650cc. im not hearing knocking but i set it where the CEL flashes when my engine knocks. i havent drove the car ever since.

    omg please dont do that lol upload the JRSC Race kit KAL and change your injector parameter and limp it to a dyno. Those KAL's are tuned with duty cycles in mind for 440's, not 650's. when you change the injector options im not sure if kpro compensates for the difference. get that thing tuned ASAP

    ^^ That. Just because you changed the injectors from 440s to 650s does not mean that it will magically change all the fuel trim parameters as well. I agree, load the JRSC Race Kit .kal for the K20A3, and then limp it to the tuner before you blow it up!...lol.

    Silly willy! Haha

    It could be phantom knock because so much hot air is being blown in. Unless you actually hear pinging you SHOULD be ok. But be precautious, have it towed to a tuner

    I don't know why you guys don't hit me up. I local for Christ sake. If you stripped the head, you over-torqued. That bolt torques to 16ft lbs. The only hope to fix the head is heli-coil, or have it re-tapped to a larger bolt size.
    Good luck.
    Christian
