knock

[04BlackComp_G]

Well I have my aeroforces hooked up and holy KR, I got 5 degrees at WOT, not too impressed. The ONLY mod I have done so far is a CAI. Need help guys. I have headers and exhaust but that comes later on this month. Would using colder plugs help get rid of some of it until I get them on? I know L32's are more prone to knock but damn 5 degrees? HELP!

its cold outside... more prone to knock.. headers should make it all go away. what plugs are u running now?

you will be fine. No need for colder plugs, just get the headers on.

I have stock plugs in now. I have a set of tr55ix's that I was going to use.

like 01 said... u should be fine... but any KR sucks.. id throw in some autolite copper 605's and see if it brings it down any if u want.. plugs are cheap, go to 104's if it doesnt drop any.

keep the stock heat range plugs in. Untill you drop a pulley.

L32's aren't prone to knock anymore than anything else...its the fact you have a GenV...and think about it...you've got factory exhaust...with an intake, brining in more air than it can get rid of...get some exhaust mods...that'll get rid of your knock.

5 isnt bad stock. I was seeing 8-9 on mine stock lol. Granted that was when it was n/a

Thanks guys. I'm all paranoid cause I don't need to be blowing a third engine.... Especially since it's my daily driver.

[blueguy]

THIRD ENGINE.

yes sir.

Chipped pistons on both my 98's. Don't want nor need it to happen again. I plan on "lighty" modding this one. I think I'll stick to headers exhaust, CAI, wires and that is it. No drop in pullies, well maybe :-)

[blueguy]

GenV can be more "prone" to knocking...a 3.4" setup on a GenIII car is about a 3.6" on your '04...OR...you put headers/intake on it...and have it custom tuned with more timing...then it'll be faster than a pulley'd car anyways.
