Wiring Knock Sensors Directly To Ecu

Hey guys,

I've got a 25 neo in my R32. Got a loom spliced together as part of the engine package. All works great except when I went to get it tuned the tuner said the knock sensors weren't working. I can't remember whether we (my brother and I) used the 32 or the 34 knock sensors but I've been told they should both work.

We're guessing the wiring in the loom somewhere is cactus so is there a way to wire them directly to the ECU?

Thanks!

the knock sensor loom on rb25's is part of the alternator loom. so if you used the 32 alt loom then you'll have no knock sensors hooked up at all.

on the intake mani theres two big wite plugs.. one is for injectors and the other is for knock sensors... is it plugged into anything?

This? (red and white shielded wires)

I made a thread ages ago about them and no one was much help. It was hanging off my motor when I got it.

I assume this is the knock sensor wiring? Can I just hardwire the knock sensors to where this plug goes to normally?

true but the point is that in this situation i dont think its been wired in correctly.

so if he used a 32 alt loom, he's prob got no knock sensors hooked up.. if he couldnt get any then the easy way out would be to run two wires from each sensor to the relevant pins in that bottom grey plug. (rather then go all the way to the ecu)

I've got a grey plug that goes to the injectors and another big grey plug that goes to the traction control (no butterfly in it so won't do shit).

That grey plug I posted up before was attached to the same place as where you've shown along with a brown and a black plug. The grey plug I've shown plugs into a grey (with purple centre) plug.

And thanks for your help both of you :(

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
