well as some one fiquered out the knock sensors on the 4th gen ludes are to blame for the crappy lowend performance and hesatation ......this has been confirmed by 2 guys..fizzbob and i forget who else..

is it possible to find the resistance of a brand new sensor not reading any knock.....and replace the sensor with a resistor of matching impedance.......say for instance it reads1.0k ohm no knock detected..put in a 1.0k ohm resistor so the ecu thinks its reading no knock.is it possible to trick the ecu into thinking the sensor is still there but giving of a reading of no knock detected

i just dont know how sensitive the stock ecu is and if i would damage anything internaly in the ecu

to me it seems silly to buy a new sensor if the possibility that its going to happen again ....why not just have it gone...


-edit- or you could wire in a variable resostor(a volume control) and tune it that way ....adjust it to the point where it makes the most power....with in the parameters of the ecu of course...

 

yeah thats what iuve been thinking, i mean in theroy if you can trick the ecu into thinking the knock is reading fine, ,, but then what happens when you really do start knocking and you ecu doesn't pull the timing. but yeah you would have to get a knock sensor and figure out how it works, if its a microphone, or what.

umm intresting...i checked my honda service manual trouble shooting flowchart but it didnt give me an impedance number to start from ...so i will check for a pin out and see what numbers i can get ....
and im just going to buy a volume pot and once i get a reading from the sensor i will just measure the volume pot till the numbers match ...save me from buying 20 different resistors

-edit-and with the mods i have i odnt think a lot of knock is happening ....i also have lots of 93 and 94 octane around ....

 

well the way the ecu is set up it relys on constant readings from the ks....so a resistor will not work from what ive been told/reading

 

yup you would have to find out or calculate the correct or "normal runing" sine wave and make something that inputs a smooth proper sine wave into the ecu, because the ecu use a filter to look for spikes or "knocks" ,, so you would need some type of local oscillator.
