Default Knock Sensor

so i was taking the engine wiring harness of of my JDM B18C last night and the knock senser decentigrated in the harness becuase it was so brittle.

i am going to be running a p72 ecu and was wondering if anyone knew a way to by pass the sensor or were i can get one for cheap.

wait a sec..
did the sensor itself fall apart or did the plug that clips onto the actual knock sensor fall apart?

how are you guys even using your jdm harnesses?

at first we tried that with ours, but after about an hour of realizing we can't just "bring one side to the other" we plugged in our cx harness.

hey ruckus, by chance, are you doing a GSR swap (bought from JHP) in your car, with the help of Dave Schulz (slidesquad) ?

Doesn't the B20B have a knock sensor on it? If so, I won't be needing mine since I'm staying Non-Vtec. Tell me where it might be and I can sell you one.

yeah. it turns out they gave me 2 bad distributors.. oh well i guess that stuff happens a lot.

it stinks that it took two and a half weeks to figure that one out. dave was losing his mind.
it's sooo close to actually moving now. just needs some "clutch juice" as i like to call it.(dave would make fun of me so much for saying that.)

would you recommend that i just purchase an ex/gsr wiring harness, or is it possible to wire the o2 sensor using stuff of the gsr harness with the cx harness?

i understand dave called you a bajillion times. hehe, sorry bout that. but we were seriously monkeys scratching our heads when it wouldn't start for the first 2 weeks. but thanks for all the help. and thank jebus dave was there, who knows what i would've ended up accidently doing.

here's some install pics...

*** i personally despise wiring and would take the easier route....GO EX/Si engine harness.
