i tried searching but didnt find an answer, is there any way to hook up my vtec w/o a knock sensor? please help or direct me to a link.

 

you have to get your ecu chipped and the knock sensor deleted. thats really the only way to not hav a knock sensor

 

damn ok.

 

just hook it up. it takes like 15 minutes.

 

my block doesnt have one i have to tap it in in to the block.

 

do it then!

 

lol ok..... if i hook the solenoid but not the knock sensor will it affect anything

 

if your knock sensor is not hooked up u will not get v-tec i believe it puts your motor in limp mode

 

well i just did a ls/v swap not to long ago and i also don't have a knock sensor on my block i would have to tap one in. but my vtec kicks in so is it really that important to have the knock sensor..

 

what ecu are you running?

 

im running a obd2a gsr ecu. i would go with a p28 but with my car being a 96 and i want to have it obd2 for emission wise.

 

well if your vtec kicks in and its running fine, wats the problem.

 

the only problem i have at the moment is that the car is running rich and it needs a tune...

 

then i wouldnt worry about the knock sensor. Get the ecu chipped and tuned. When you do that get the knock sensor removed

 

yea i know i need to get it chipped and tune but i don't want to send out my ecu to have it chipped if i could find someone trustworthy to chip it..also would you by any chance know of any places other then kingmotorsports that i could get my car tuned at..also your from WI to right...

 

actually im in new orleans rite now but if you want i can make a few calls and see if wat i can do

 

thanks i would greatly appreciate that just keep me posted...you can email me at me_lee101@hotmail.com...

 

try midwest hybrid in madison i think they still do all that

the guy i know only does obd1 crome

 

okay thanks i'll have to hit them up this weekend if i'm not to busy...thanks again..

 

how much do you think to chip the ecu?

 

i think it all depends on who does it and with what kind of chip...

 

i jus want to eliminate the knock sensor...... ima try and hook it up without.

 

theres really no way of trying to hook it up without the knock sensor unless your just talking about the ecu...thats what i'm currently at the moment running my ls/v without the knock sensor...

 

just put some p28 this one doesnt need knock sensor i aslo have one for sale im in california y can ship this one if you want ok or maybe send it just socketed ready for put some ebay chip jun runs great

 

it is important for the knock sensor to be hoocked up cause on my car for examle i wired up my vtec and not the knock sensor (this is on my B17) i mean it ran fine but not to it's fullest potential so when i finally decided to hoock up my sensor it ran like a champ the vtec poped hard and it stopped running like crap when it was just idling also leaned it out quite a bit since it was running very rich without it .
