Knock Sensor Wiring

[luvpsi]

sorry if thisin the wrong section guys. i have got a vl with rb25det. im currently connecting the drivers side loom. however im stuck with connecting the knock sensor wiring. the rb30 does not have knock sensors so there is no where to join the knock sensor wiring. does anyone here know how to do this or will i have to just run the wires to the ecu pinout. only thing im not sure about is im going to be running a aftermarket ecu which is going to professionaly wired in. so do i wire them into the stock rb25 ecu plug?

Some aftermarket ecu's dont Use knock sensors. Make sure ur ecu does before wiring them. I think the ecu and motor loom has the knock sensor wiring not the drivers side body loom.

Knock sensor wiring should be part of your engine subharness that then joins to the engines main. But this goes into the passengers side footwell : /

ive been told by a few people its part of the alternator wiring loom. im going to be running a microtech lt12s so ill have to find out whether it runs a knock sensor

[luvpsi]

ok microtech does not run knock sensors so no need to worry about it

[DVS JEZ]

microtech definately doesnt use knock sensors,

[luvpsi]

cool so do i pull the sensors out or just leave them in block but just not cnnected?

I'd leave them on, whoever tunes it might want to use them, my car didn't have them because running motec and some of the reputable tuners did not want to lean on the motor because they weren't confident of hearing the knock..bitch of a job to put them on after with everything else in the way ( well it is on a GTR, no room )

yeah mines in a vl so a bit more room but still a bitch of a job on the drivers side. i will leave them on then and if my tuner wants to leave them he can he is doing all of my wiring anyway

[DVS JEZ]

if the ecu you are using cant use them then the tuner cant use them, if he wants to hear knock then get a knock box or a trained person under the bonnet to listen for knock.

i would just leave them on the engine though,

[luvpsi]

yeah will do cheers

im trying to remove the r33 drivers side loom but it still connected to the knock sensors im not going to be using them so do they just unplug or do i have to cut the wires because i cant see what im doing under the manifold and dont want to take the manifold off just to undo knock sensors? or if they unplug does anyone know how they unplug
