Update - Super Engine Knocking

I have a lambda sensor for the decat cuz I'm running stock tune and i don't like the check engine light being on in the dash board
Every time i push the car the exhaust get hotter and the sensor stop working so the check engine light goes on, after 2 days its gone by it self
So yesterday i was driving normally and the check engine light pop out, i felt that there is something wrong.
i have the lioneheart by E-tuners so i can read the check engine code and this is what i found i will put it pic in the attachments box "Fault code 4"
i can feel the engine knocking by touching the clutch a little bet.
i don't know what is the problem is, but i just recently change the gas station i was using, turns out that the station pump was broken and it was an under ground one so water and stuff like that was mixed with fuel so i change to better gas station and it was high quality fuel. we only have 95 and 91 octane in my country. I think that something went
Wrong with fuel system or fuel pump after changing to a better fuel.
Also I'm running with 55 volt battery not 60 as it should.
And i have to say after getting better fuel the exhaust was louder and smoother acceleration.

Update - Back to normal

Soo i took the BOV and Induction kit and boost pipes off,
And take off the battery plug for 15min and plugged it on, everything is back to normal.


i decided to wait for the remap then put everything back.

Update - I fixed the issue

i got my car to my dealr and did a full check up, turns out that my sparks plugs were damaged, so i changed them and om running OK now



also did an oil change, MOTUL 8100 X-CESS

Updates

Sorry for not posting any thing lately i was busy with school and other stuff

i faced a lot of issues tho :
1- i did a intake manifold clean, On my way home after taking the car from the shop suddenly no boost and weird engine sounds pulled over and open the hood to check whats
wrong turns out they didn't plug the MAP sensor right, plug it back and start the engine same weird sound and check engine light on and RPM don't get over 2.5-3K
bring it back to the shop and then find out that the throttle body was stuck, they claim that the ECU did a lock on the throttle body due boost leak from the sensor but i didn't
believe them !:mad:, at the end they fix the throttle body and the result was amazing, better response and when you floor it feels like it want to jump, better and crisp exhaust sound !

2-Had P0139 and P0140 fault code to i change the oxygen sensor, but it came back after a while bcuz my cat-less downpipe with stock map .

3-P1337 fault code-ignitin coil cylinder #1 so change that, much better performance so change them all coils :cool: bcuz all of them was rusty :redface: .

4-all dampers need to change, our street is very bad and bumpy so need to change em'.

Coming MODs:

1-KW V1 Coilovers a must !!!
2-Custom intake box with air duct hose from the fog light.

3-New turbo Frankenturbo F21 with E-tuners for sure!!!!



still have more plans and mods coming up

also i found out this i think its due the oil steaming but no sure tho :confused:

I can do you good price on KW's

[BenS]

Will the ribbed inside of that intake hose restrict air flow? I'm no expert just seems everyone uses hard pipes or silicon hoses with smooth insides and gentle bends. Experts please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Jamie@SPTuning]

Czar can give you science for that answer.
