Okay so im about to do my LS/VTEC swap. I have a B18b block in my car right now and im gonna put a B16 head on. Im using a P30 ECU, unchipped. I want to know if its safe to just ground out the wire to the knock sensor so i do not have to worry about drilling and taping the block, because i think that will dificult with it in the car. If i do ground it out, will it be telling the ECU that there constantly is no knock or that there is constantly knock occuring? Cuz i do not want my ignition retarded. Anyone with experience please lmk.

 

i think you should tap the alt, bracket and just put the knock on too make the car run the way it should be running

 

Ya i really want to do that, but i dont want to mess something up. What if i make the hole in the wrong place and drill into something bad or make it too big so then the sensor wont fit at all. There's just too many worries. Any other help is appreciate

 

check this site out man... and where the c-speedracing crew put their knock sensor is where we put mine!!! on the alt. braket... check it out... http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...c.php

 

Ya ive seen that before , i have it bookmarked, but is there any chance of me drilling into something that I shouldn't be like a coolant jacket or oil passage? I just dont wanna **** something up.

 

take your time and you should be fine. your only make ing the hole a little bigger..

 

am i gonna be able to easily drill it w/ the block in the car?

 

Grounding the KS doesn't get rid of the CEL from what I hear.
-PHiZ

 

by looking at the pics on c-speed, it looks like that is gonna be a pain to drill w/ the block still in the car cuz how am i gonna reach around to get a drill in there.

 

yea you could also tap on the head next to the fuel regulator

 

Where is that, on the back of the block?

 

Night before the swap, any susgestions?
