(ITR JRSC) The wait is over...the full story

[Spunkster]

BurntGSR:

I have made numerous runs with the J&S at different settings, on one i even used 100 octane race gase and set the J&S to the minimum setting , with the same results.

Don't get me wrong here, with a properly tuned car the J&S is almost not a necesity, but for most cars out there is is a life saver. I plan to recconect it and keep it at the lowest seting possible and let you guys know what happens. Seeing as how i'm now running beyond the stock timing, i'm intersted to see what happens. Also keep in mind this is a ITR with a b18c5, so the head is a little different noise wise.

Thanx for sharing your experience in SoCal. In-N-Out burgers is one of SoCal's best landmarks!

In-n-out is crap, it's all about FATBURGER!

If you go over at club si, I swear, they ought to have "Blown Engine of the Week" as there seems to be one dying every 7 days.

I haven't done a search on it, but I don't think any of them were running a safeguard.

(okay, I think most were Turbos, but that doesn't mean a J&S might of saved them a lot a trouble)

I wonder if maybe there's someway you could dampen the sensitivity of a knock sensor, if you guys think it's reacting inappropriately in some cases -- I'm not surprized at people coming up with new solutions here, as you guys seem a fairly smart bunch overall.

Yup...and the sad part is that most do not learn from their mistakes. They toss the thing back together with no Safeguard and expect to have no troubles. Crazy! There are some smart people over there, but some of these people with grenaded motors don't seem to be giving much thought to how to prevent it from happening again.

I don't think a single person there was running a Safeguard.

Well...the way I see it, I would much rather risk losing some power because of the J&S being too sensitive than risk replacing my block because I had no protection at all. The knock sensor can be moved around and the sensitivity can be adjusted. IMO, it'd be much more desirable to deal with making the Safeguard less sensitive than to replace my pistons and rods!

Anyway...Spunkster, I hope you can get this issue with your Safeguard ironed out. Please keep us all posted.

Cheers,
Sonny

Good job! I know the trip from OJ's to San Diego well....from San Clemente to Oceanside if your not going 100 mph your in the way! I'm glad it worked out, sorry to hear about your ailment and hope your better soon. I'll do my best to get to that track day at Buttonwillow. It's a fun track, if anyone hasn't been before.
