Re: Knock Sensor? (BlueIntegraBoy)
So...would you use it it on an LS-Vtec setup or just chip your ECU to not find it? Im going to be doing my setup soon and am curious. Thanks.

Re: Knock Sensor? (luvcivics)
The knock sensor is basically a microphone that listens for the specific frequency of pre-detonation (pinging). When detected the ecu will retard the timing in an attempt to stop the pre-detonation. I have heard that the Honda ones are not that good but I would figure better than nothing. I know mine has worked in the past.

Why would you cancel it? It wouldn't detune your car if it was not pinging right? It shouldn't be pinging. Just wondering.
