Thread: Had to change my sn!

Hey sac dsmer's!! I'm the guy from Davis who was using Boostin1g on the old site. Well I couldn't resist changin my screen name to knockin1g. My car is doing alot more knockin than it is boostin and I hate it! :x I envy you 2g guys, you guys miss out on the joys of phantom knock

Yea, 2gs have much better electronics, sensors and your ecu is simply smarter, it filters out phantom knock much better than the 1g's, from my observations 2g's occasionally get phantom knock spikes whereas 1g's get a constant 43 counts at a certain rpm range. It's much more likely for 1g's to have this problem...

you guys should hella fight over it :)

I think most 2gs with phantom knock just can't tell

I can tell!! :x when my car is gettin 43 counts and when it's not, night and day difference....

Phantom knock is very common in 2gs. I'm not so sure that I'd say they can't tell. I think it's more a matter of them not associating phantom knock with the hesitation they experience.

Even on the DSMLink forums, where every person on that board has all the tools needed to diagnose phantom knock, there are many threads from people who ask why their CEL is randomly flashing.
