Knock Count with Stock Exhaust & Intake

Post by cataylor346 »

Hey guys and gals, new to the forums and tuning.
I know it's normal to experience some knock when VTEC engages, however on my normal commute to work today the K.COUNT on my V2 unit showed 53.

I haven't added any intake or exhaust mods so I was curious if this is a normal knock count or signs of an issue?

You have thousands of ignition events per minute. Multiply that by however many minutes you've driven. Then look at the 53 number again and see if you still worry about it. If so, contact a tuner.

Knock control is a better indicator of overall health.

That makes sense to me. Over the course of a 30 minute commute, 53 doesn't seem to be as much of a concern.
