ok this is for anyone who has a celica that has 3sgte in it...
I am almost at the point of buying my front clip but am curious as to what gas everyone in tha states runs it on. I cant remember where i read it but i think it needs like premium gas to run, or something above 93 octane... so when you guys fill up what do you put in to feed you 3sgte? -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
2 JL 12" W6v2 2 Focal 6.5 component 165a1 Kenwood DDX512 head unit Running 142.6db with the back seat up:) |

Very Basically - Knock is caused by fuel getting ignited in the combustion chamber by something other than the spark plug either in the wrong place causing 2 flame fronts or the wrong time. this causes a noise (if you listen with some det cans) that sounds like a crisp/chip packet rustling. A small microphone picks this up..that is the knock sensor. 3sgte engines have them as standard (tucked away on the back of the engine behind cylinder #3) and the ECU can detect this and make a suitable adjustment to the workings of the engine to try to combat it. There is a point where the ECU cant do anything about it...this is when you get problems and the engine goes into limp mode.
High octane petrol is more resistant to being ignited by anything other than the spark plug..basically it is harder to ignite than standard petrol. This post has been edited by Insanity-74: Mar 1, 2008 - 5:11 PM |
