Default What knock sensor to use for ZC with AFC 2?

I am building a turbo ZC and want to get a SAFC 2. I want to be able to use the knock sensor indicator so I need to mount a knock sensor. What knock sensor should I get? Anyone have any ideas on mounting it? Thanks

i want to install a knock sensor on my d16y7 also. i can't hear any detonation, but i'd like to know if i was. would a b-series knock sensor work if i were to thread it to the block or head? what kind of monitor can i get?...maybe i can hook it up to my wb02 input and log it with my pda.

You can use the GM/AC Delco sensor or the B series VTEC knock sensor. The thread pattern on the B series knock sensor makes it a little difficult to deal with though. I have a couple of the GM/AC Delco sensors if you're interested. They are the ones that come with the J&S Safeguard systems. PM me if interested.

hmm, i just came across info that the d-series may already have a knock sensor. it's pretty hard to see if it's there. i guess i need to go back and look at my shop manual again.

since this thread seems to have brought the best of people out and I'd like some input as well, TTT.

Has/is anyone using the AFC with either knock sensor on a SOHC ? If so where should we mount it and what is the proper torque spec to give accurate readings ?
