What kind of gas are you running? I'm not sure how good the gas quality is over there. That might be why you are detonating so much? I run 93 octane in mine.

Well, see i told people this type of stuff will happen on our stock L36 engines. Your best bet is to rebuild your engine before you boost at all.

Could probaly be his spark plugs. I had crazy amount of detonation with mine before I made them too heat ranges cooler. Never had the white smoke though. Hey Woojong, it's very possible that you just need new cooler spark plugs. Make sure you gap them at .35. Also come to think of it I did get white smoke from my exhaust, but it was actualy just my oil filter leaking because the powerdyne sits right on top of it and cracked it. The oil would leak down on to my exhaust while excellerating and for a while I also thought I blew somthing up. It only cost 5 $ to get a new oil filter and about 5 minutes to put a new one on. I find it very hard to beleave that you actualy damaged your engine. I personaly drove mine for 3 months with 7 psi and was only getting 45 pounds of fuel the hole time when I should have been getting 80 pounds. I also had my spark plugs gapped at .60 when they should have been at .35 and I still sufferred no engine damage. Well hope that is all it is ... GOOD LUCK

Two things are going on. You need to get your spark plugs at .035 for cold range. Get the NGK ones from tbyrnesmotorsport.

If the Octane rating in Korea is lower than 91. You have to retard even more. Meaning, you have to adjust your TRC-1 or boost retardant to 3 or 4 depending on octane rating.

If you ever get water/alcohol injection or other intercoolers, you can adjust it back to 1.

If not then, you may need to keep adding a bottle of Octane every time you gas up.

Keep us posted.

Good Luck.
