GM knock sensor thread Options

[lagos]

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.

I say, Fastbird should stick to the GM knock sensor......the worst that would happen is his engine blowing up. But hey...he'll be able to fix it because of all the money he saved by buying the GM sensor instead of the OEM one.
This is an absolutely useless post. How about something constructive next time.[/qoute]

next comment like that will get you a nice vacation from the site, jacka$$.
[quote]Then the OEM one blows and before you have a chance to react (you're still in the gas) the knock continues and you pop a piston. I'd rather have the GM knock sensor in there with it's ability to take a bit more abuse than the OEM one.[/quote]
thats not how the ecu works tho...it detects knock, and pulls timing accordingly, if your in the gas hard, and it knocks hard enough to blow the knock sensor, the ECU drops you back into safe mode, using the preset "safe mode" map.
