hey everyone.. first off id like to say i have a fully built ls vtec! and its throwing code 23 knock sensor in obd2 runing a type r usdm p73 ecu!

the car runs smooth just feel like when the check engine code (23) comes on the car seems sluggish? i heard when it comes on it cuts the power to the motor? is that true?


ok soo i didnt tap the block for the obd2 knock sensor on the ls block! its a obd1 (93) integra ls b18a1 block with a jdm gsr HEAD! ITR jdm lsd trans!

i have the knock sensor plugged into the front tranny mount hole! bc im not runing the front tranny mounts! i bought hasport 88a soilid mounts and didnt use the front tranny and motor mount!

the sensor screws right in the tranny hole! my buddy told me to put it thier bc the tranny will trick the ecu into knot throwin the code! but it works half the time! but mostly code comes on past 3krpms! and car feels sluggish! ugh!!

ok i know i can convert to obd1 and get the knock disabled! but i wanna stay obd2 for winter and wait til next spring bc imma turbo the SOB lol

so what are my options? and what will deff work? please help me... thanks in advanced honda tech!

 

fully built lsvtec with a stock oem ecu.. yep, hope you melt a piston.

 

let me rephrase that! sorry fully built meaning the correct lsv conversion harness! and interanlly new pistions rings ETC! and maachineD! sorry for not explaining better! and please dont be a dick! thanks im just needing some help to fix my situation!

 

Still new pistons, gotta seat the rings correctly.. running a oem ecu made for a oem motor.. doesn't work.

 

thanks!! OBD1 it is
