Knock detection in data logging question.

[Jpierro79]

I’ve been told that using a different tuning option. Whom I’m not going to name for the sake of trying to be polite. That the Bosch ecu does not read knock retard or knock control during data logging. I asked about knock count and got the response “as I just mentioned before neither of those items are supported by the Bosch ecu so you’ll never see a value there”. That was literally the exact response I got.
I’m not sure what’s going on here but in 20 years of working in cars and 8 years of tuning my own cars I’ve never heard this. Needless to say I had asked this as I suspected my ctr was switching timing tables mid pull. It read no knock of any kind in live data or recorded. That includes my 5000 dollar snap on scanner.
So basically the question is can hondata detect any kind of knock retard, knock control or even knock count during datalogs on the civic type r.
I’ve never played the guessing game with ignition timing.

knock count and knock controls do not exist in the bosch ecu. Ignore it.

The knock retard on each individual cylinder is the number you look at.

Well good to know considering that’s not even an option on the “other” tuner. No wonder my questions were getting very vague answers. I’m definitely switching now.
Canyou record the data-log for each cylinder in hondata ?

I'm pretty sure the other one has that also. Idk why it wouldn't as there would be no other way to check the values.

Yeah, Hondata will datalog each cylinder. The parameter would be "Knock Retard 1,2,3,4" with the number representing the cylinder.

Thanks just got hondata today and the car runs soo much smoother than ktuner.

Ok so I’ve done my data logging and adjusted not only my timing but I tell you fuel can’t get any easier on this car. This is definitely one thing I love. It’s literally plug the mixture in and go. The one thing I am still getting used to is the use of turbo speed limit instead of waste-gate duty cycle. It’s been years since I’ve had to tune with this method and with the hit weather I’m having I don’t think the turbo can even hit its max right now. I think that’s going to have to be at a later date.

yup. this car is super easy to adjust parameters
