thank u, so this is not the same as the stock one, and its much better right?


"thanks again for ur help"

[Paladin06Greg]

Yes.

I know this post is a month old, but I just thought I would mention that this may not be a good idea. Knock sensors are tuned to the specific frequency to detect knock. That frequency may be different for a 6 cylinder engine than for a 4 cylinder engine. The MR2 and All trac's mentioned at that site were turbo charged 4 cylinder engines. If you are supercharged I presume you have the V6 model.

I may be wrong, but I'd like for someone to tell me why, because I believe that even two different 4 cylinder engines use different (probably similar) knock sensors. Just something to check out before you (or those reading this old post) go out and purchase.

sTOCK oem KNOCK SENSORS sucks. They are NOT meant for trd supercharger. One reason why they got discontinued before the motor got disctonitined for a newer one. Bad design.

Sorrry for weird writing. My computer is lagging.

that's why we gotta relocate them.....simple enough as long as it's kept close enough to the block to hear knocking

dude above you has a monster motor with upgraded everything and dude below you has a a similar one with stock internals. Both have or are using the knock sensor as well as a number of memorable high hp solaras on the forum. They found it to be the best replacement as the stock ones are not compatible/compliant when it comes to a super charger. For a stock motor, use a stock knock sensor.

Has anyone shown that using that knock sensor actually works? Has anyone checked to see if the timing retards when knock is detected. Because I believe it is possible to put a different knock sensor in and have no codes displayed, because the circuit isn't open or short, but maybe the sensor doesn't resond in the correct frequency range so the ECU will never know it and therefore take no action.

I'm not blaming or even saying I know this to be true, just asking if anyone has proven this other than to say, "Gee, it works so far."

I have a supercharger sitting in the garage right now, ready to go into my wife's car and I want to make sure I have some measure of protection against possible knock.

Shiiit... If the ole G says it works, It works. Wouldnt you think all the 300+ hp cars on this forum has used it maybe before? Theres a reason why we chose it. fashion-central-united-kingdom for all I care I would have told everyone BMWs ones work. But no, We said GM ones. Why? Tested AND proven on MR2, SOlara, Celicas, Camry.

I have it on my car and have monitors plug up to it. Works the same way. NOTHING much different from the OEM OTHER THEN the GM one has a MUCH more reinforced housing to advoid breaking due to the superchargers vibration?


Anymore "I dont think so" questions?

What does computer lag have to do with bad grammar and spelling mistakes?

Who is the ole G?

The Bullsshhiitt Ends When The Turbine Spins

What the heck does that mean?

Dat, have you even tried a BMW knock sensor? Why are you talking down to Ozone? He seems to be asking a legitimate question and you are responding like he's an idiot. What gives?

My point is why is he asking the same dam thing after We already said proven and works.

Thank you Quick for realizing when someone is trying to get information instead of talking trash.

Dats, the reason I asked again is because it doesn't cost anyone anything to SAY, something works better because they know a guy, who knew a guy, that it worked for. I need facts before jumping on the bandwagon, especially since something like a knock sensor really doesn't scream out loud to a driver, "Hey I'm working." You can't always hear knock. The signal needs to be looked at and/or the timing checked. But if someone posts that they looked at the signal and got xxxMHz at xxx volts when they tapped the block with a hammer, I have a tendency to believe the guy didn't make it up.

I have a picture in my mind of someone posting that the GM knock sensor happened to have the same mount as the Toyota knock sensor and then a bunch of forum readers going out and installing them, saying, "Cool it works," when all it really does is fit.

Also, look at my number of posts. Why would I know who G is?

Now that I know this may be an issue, I will borrow an O-scope from my friend and measure the output of the knock sensor in my wifes car. That way, if I get a code after the supercharger is installed, I can buy a GM one and compare it. That would definitely satisfy me. Then I will post the results here.

It doesn't have the same mount you need to buy the adapter in order for it to fit.
If you don't go nuts on modifying, always run premium, you should have no problems.
I'm modifying in steps to determine how much is too much for me.
I want to retain the dependability of my Camry.
I currently and the fuel mods, an Injen and a Greddy Evo2. So far so good. no codes.

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