is that an ATS TB inlet? looks nice. i ordered one last week!

Yup, I ordered that and the GM Knock Sensor Conversion for Doc to install. Along with the healthy dose of goodies that he's putting in the car.......should be really niiiiiiice.

i woudlnt recomend using the GM knock sensor. it dosnt work correctly for our cars and ats should stop selling it imho. keep the stock sensor.

tweak... i just went back a read all my post in this thread. i think you should do the same thing. im sorry, but in this case, you are the one acting like an asshole. all i did was try to be helpful to fastbird. jgreening did the same thing and was trying to give the same exact advice as i did... yet you single me out? then you try to take some form of cheap shot about my wiring or how many swaps ive done vs you? wtf is that? you dont even own a celica, let alone a swaped one. why you talking cheap shots at me? greening never turns a bolt on his car, you dont put down his advice ?

you need to be a little more open minded and a little less sensative. im not a cheerleeder that cheers people on even when i see them making a mistake. im very honest and to the point. get used to it.

art, you know how much i appreciate your help around the forums.
tweek, your a valuble asset to this community as well, helping out the kids that cant, or dont wanna jump in and get theyre hands dirty themselfs.
lets all just sit back and have a beer, and move on.
if needed, we can just start another knock sensor thread.
i havent given my thoughts on the gm knock sensor thing, but in short, being that when you break it down, all the knock sensor is is a tuned microphone, and the 2 "microphones" we're talking about are tuned to 2 diffrent frequncys, i'd be concerned weather the GM one will pick up the frequency emmited by the cylinder walls when detonation occurs.
now, from some of the posts on mr2oc, it seems as tho the GM knock sensor DOES pick up knock, but the question is weather its picking up the proper FREQUENCY of the knock, since the 3s block basicly becomes the tuning fork.
