umm. I'm not sure about the y8 but I think if its like the other single cam vtecs it doesn't have a knock sensor. I know that my d15 or d16 didn't have one.

ef9 with a y8?? ehh where did the b16 go?

you shouldnt need to wire a knock sensor. afaik, most obd1 honda engines dont have them. i dont believe the p28 will be looking for a knock sensor.

You have an ef9 (RHD Civic SiR) from Japan? if so, why the hell would you have put a D16Y8 motor in it since it originally had a B16A?

Lastly, if you are running a P28 ECU then you don't need to worry about a knock sensor since the P28 doesn't look for one.

I swear, the majority of EF owners nowadays are completely ignorant, or super ghetto, or teenagers.
