Patron

JDMlyfestyle

Nope nope nope.

dantastic

the only 95 civic with a knock sensor was the delsol dohc vtec

mugenhatch92

did the d16y7 come with a knock sensor?

DOHCtorTHRUST

nope

mugenhatch92

so i dont have to worry about having one, right?

becase i am putting a z6 into a obd2

did the d16y8 have one? because that is what ec u i am using

senpai

Y8 has KS

dogfood

y7 no

if your putting a z6 into an obd 2 get the jumper harness then add wires for knock, IAC, and vtec

what? if you get a jumper to obd I you can use p28 which does not require a KS. IF you stick with obd II ecu you can just relocate the KS anywhere on the block (not the head), or firewall but that's little bit too extreme.

i heard that you can just use the pre drilled holes in the back of the block for the KS

you should be able to as long as it fits(same size and thread pitch)

That's funny. On last month's issue of Honda Tuning, they replaced the timing belt on a D16Y7 motor and showed a picture that it had a knock sensor. Were they mistaken?

mugenhatch92

see i am still kinda of stuck on the issure because i put a y7 bottom end on a y8 head in a y8 car, with the p2p ecu and it never threw the knock sensor code

i did the exact same thing....except i think my y7 had a knock sensor because i KNOW i hooked it up when installing the motor. I might have taken the sensor out of the back of the y8 block and just screwed it into a place on the y7 block....did i do that for nothing....**** ima check now. someone let me know...ill be back

murmur9

I just went and looked....YEA ...my y7 block has the knock sensor plugged in the same area that it was on my Y8 ....did I just cram it into a threaded hole that...and it wont do ****...or do some y7's come with them and some not? i know i didnt tap it..i would remember. duh

I could have sworn all OBD2 and newer cars have knock sensors, including Y7

murmur9

thanks...so maybe i did the right thing by pulling the old one out of the y8 block and puttin it into my y7? anyone else know anything?

Redline96LX

1996 to Present are
OBD-II
THey have knock sensors

murmur9

So that is why my y8 ecu isnt throwing a knock sensor code?

murmur9

I just got out of the garage because this **** is blowing my mind. Got the Haynes Repair manual (civic 1996-2000) (integra 94-00) (and CR-V 97-00)
It says that knock sensors are used on civics with a D16y5, y8, and the civic with the B16a2 .

And integras with a B18C1 and B18C5


So that means my D16y7 dosnt have one. So Im guessing my ignorant *** just screwed the old KS from the y8 block and put it on the same spot on the y7 ...but i guess it just leades to nowhere.....

Questions...should I take my Intake mani off and take the KS off?
should i leave it...its not doing anything to harm it? could it some how be working? hahaha
should my ECU be throwing a KS code, because it hasnt ....just my secondary o2 sensor heater or something (65)

if i do have to take it out of the block..do i have to bypass the KS ????


Help me out buddy...thanks.

bump... for the night

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts doesn't list a knock sensor on a y7, but they do on a y8, maybe the haynes guide was actually right for once.
