If there is no prevision for KR, then I would guess there will be a bunch of people that try to run 30 psi of boost on a 25 psi engine.  Back in the days when I could still claim I could hear, the only time I heard detonation on a TR was immediately followed by a blown engine.

The frequency of detonation in a stock block is reportedly around 6k hertz.  If the factory could monitor it and pull timing, I would think it could be done today as most high performance engines pull timing as soon as they hear knock.

I would also like to track fuel pressure and shut it down when it dropped something like 10% from the boost level.  How many times have I seen people basically running on alky because they did not realize their fuel pump was dying...severa l times.

The easy install and immediate start up is very impressive.  They will sell a bunch of these things. :)

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The vampire box can see detonation on each cylinder, you would expect this could match it.

Possibly stuff they haven't thot of...but would be willing to incorporate if asked. Jason could start throwing these ideas at them?

You guys with the higher IQ's should start making a list for them?

I found the component test feature this morning.  Can fire individual injectors, drive the IAC and much much more.  Diagnostic heaven!

Looks like a nice upgrade.  I just realized today that my Siemens Low Z injectors are obsolete and no longer made.  That's too bad since everything is finally working so well together...

Couple thoughts.
First, I know you are the guy to make this go. I'm sure Ken will have one soon if he doesn't already.
As far as dash, will a tablet work? Something to slip in front of the giant speedometer.

Next thing comes to mind is the wifi. Is there a way to "lock it down". The statement of "sitting in the stands" worries me about the element of people who might be up to no good . Strong password?

I really like the diagnostic feature. Sounds like a great thing.

Keep us up. This is great.

Been chatting with Bob this afternoon, Looks like there is a way to use the CEL as KR indicator

Do I understand there is no means of pulling timing if the sensor hears knock ala the factory ecm?

Incorrect. The CEL can be used as a visible indicator of knock.  The pulling of timing when knock happens is all tunable

Good...I could not see that not being apart of it...if you can power the cel light, you should be able to hook a buzzer up to it as well...

The boys are honest. Click on, 'Is this required to go fast?' I've never gone to an aftermarket ECU...cuz I know it won't turn my car into a hell ride.
