were could i buy the upgraded knock sensor for my solara

[QuickSEV6]

I know you are saying the knock sensor was discontinued, but are you saying the 1mz-fe engine was discontinued because of bad design?

Toyota changed the engine in the Solara to the 3MZ-FE. I'm not sure the 1MZ-FE is completely discontinued. Maybe they changed because of a cost savings or something else.
I wouldn't say the 1MZ-FE was a poor design. Heck, it won the USCC two years ago with more than 500 horses.

it was getting old and wasn't putting out enough power to compete on the market- as simple as that.

the engine was pretty tired tested and true....but there's no point having an engine that will last forever when it doesn't sell

Its just a GM knock sensor with an adaptor that you can buy from home depot or so. And the adaptor you can solder it. Dont ask me which adaptor it is. I forgot. I can put together a small groupe buy if I get enough people but im telling you now. Its not cheap.

goddamnit, now it's not even showing up!!! if you click on the link, it says "Page Not Found".

anybody have the model number on that GM sensor????

if worse comes to worse, what can i do to prevent a blown knock sensor on a 2.9 pulley setup???

I wouldn't solder a knock sensor. Solder is not that strong and the vibration of the motor is a good way to make it fail.

lol^^


he just wants to prove you guys wrong........
ozone if you are wondering if this works pm some of the higher hp solaras on the forum most of us are very very nice and would be willing to help you

word... i beat on my car every chance I get at the track and vibrations dont bother it.

I believe knock is probably very similar amongst engine types, so I have no problem believing that it works.

This comment was about the solder. I work in the defense industry and I've seen lots of solder failures when people rely on it to be structural.

That's all. No more. No less.

just trying to give you a hard time man, in the end, we are all here just to enjoy the car. Personally when I hooked up my sensor, I used those wiretaps in addition to the solder+heat shrink wrap since I'm so paranoid about my car. Wire taps are there just in case the solders come undone. Let us know what you end up doing and report back results.
