their is a hole next to the alternator. on a d16z6 block. my friend taped it and put his knock sensor in their, when he put a built z6 in a 99 ex. try that. just find a hole near the alternator that isn;t used. tap it and screw in the sensor. hook it up and your done. 
ill try and get a picture

thats pretty much how it's gonna go, just gotta get my mind on the right track to spend that $100 on one ****** sensor, instead of something else...

Why not try a higher resistance? like 100 kilo ohms. You said high resistance, and it seems to me that 100ohms is small.

hmm... i guess it wouldnt hurt **** to try a high resistance...

Re: (soccaian)
i've been thinking... 100k might be to big (kinda like an open circuit ya know), i would try diff values (1k,10k, etc)
i hope my info helps and isn't completely ignorant (i really don't know why you would use a resistor in place of the sensor, i figure you are just trying to trick the ecu)

well, with a 100k resistor, the current will be VERY low.... something on the order of .00012 amps....
but anyway... i just bought a knock sensor, and it should be here tomorrow

I'm in the process of doind this now. If anyone comes up with a solution to the knock sensor let me know. Also can anyone tell me if they like there's and how they run, 88hondahatch was talkint to u for me, i just joined now.

id say that **** to you any time bro. you get what you pay for. cant imagine why your having problems. good luck though. i can get you a real motor if you want one.

if i got what i paid for... then i did real well.....
i'll stick with this motor for a while... it seems to be workin out just fine.... i got my cam back from delta cams today, so i'll be installing that soon.

i just bought a mini me setup for my d16y7, where do i stick the knock sensor on the block, is there a specific location, and if i dont want to, how do i ground it out, where do i put it, and is it really necessary to have one?

the knock sensor, from what i can tell goes in the block near the pcv valve.... you can drill and tap a hole somewhere else on the block if you so desire and use it like that... its up to you.
and no, you dont necessarily NEED a knock sensor, but if you dont run one, you will always throw a CEL, and your car will run only off of base ignition timing.

if i have a knock sensor can i hook it up and leave it hanging on the chassis, does ith ave to be in the block, i dont want to tap and thread a hole in the block.

there is already a hole in the back of the block for the knock sensor, as the y7 and y8 blocks are physically identical, its just a pain in the *** to get to. as for grounding the knock sensor to the chassis, i have no idea....
