Default Autronic SM4 and Knockboard

Hi All,

I got an offer I couldn't refuse so I have had a SM4 installed and tuned with the new knockboard included, all done by Lane at Racetorque.

I had no issues with the previous tune, but the added features of antilag etc were too good to pass up, here are the graphs.

This above graph shows previous high boost setting tune, and 2 tunes done by Lane..


Shot at 2009-04-02

This above graph shows the low boost setting, 1 bar, massive improvement here.

cheers

Great to see some NON ASG tuned cars putting some awesome numbers up on here for a change.

Got to love Lane's work. Can't wait till the 21st when I get mine back with toys and tune

All I could get out of him yesterday when I dropped in was Autronic and 270KW. Seemed pretty happy with it though.

Check out the gains on the low boost setting, over 50kw.

My only gripe is they had my car for over a week, it seems the rally stuff comes first, I suppose that is fair enough as it's their main bread and butter.

The low and midrange feel of the car is sensational now, I have to watch myself, might need some better tyres.

By the way, they should already have the knockboards, I overheard Lane say a heap had arrived!!!!

Cheers

You'll be lucky for it to take 1 day

I dont understand much about AFR's, but Lane told me the knockboard makes tuning closer to the limits so much easier and safer.

I have given the car a good flogging tonight and no hint of pinging, I know the weather is cooler now!!

the knockboard automatically pulls timing as soon as it detects reasonable amount of knock, it makes tuning to the upper limits much easier and safer.
He rekns he made an extra 9kw on one of his rally cars, that was already tuned to the utmost limit.

All I know is the clouds of black smoke coming from my exhaust have now gone, it was running too rich, so much that my oil kept getting contaminated by petrol!!

Lane swears by the knockboard, as you mentioned he is getting more power from cars he previously tuned
