Hey all,

As suggested by Mike, we just picked up a pretty cool new product:

Most modern engines will already have a knock sensor fitted as standard, but any type of knock sensor may be fitted as required. The sensor is normally screwed into a boss on the engine block although some manufacturers fit the sensor in the inlet manifold (especially Ford). In either case, the sensor must be in such a position that block vibrations are coupled to the sensor.
Assuming the engine is operating correctly, the LEDs will show only background noise which will rise in proportion to engine power output. Any abrupt rise in signal level at any time is an indication that detonation is occurring. The immediate remedy is to close the throttle. Severe detonation will destroy any engine in seconds.

Knocking is the self detonation of the unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber toward the end of combustion. The flame burns abound ten times faster than normal causing huge pressures. Possible cures for knocking are: cooler intake air; increased intake humidity; reduce load; increase RPM; enrichen or lean engine from lambda stoichiometric; improve spark; increase octane level of fuel; reduce total ignition advance etc.

-Monitor engine “Noise”.
-Optimise advance.
-Detect Detonation.
-Mechanical or Electronic Ignition.
-Toolbox tool or permanent fit.




We are offering the following package:

-Cobb Accessport
-1 Custom Map for your car tuned by Mike (must be standard bolt on modifications)
-Link Knock Link
-Installation

$949 OTD (includes tax!) for WRX
$999 OTD (includes tax!) for STi

1badrex has one of those.

 

Also, I forgot. If you just want the Knock Link, the price for that is $149 shipped.

Thanks,

Geoff

 

I already have an AP tuned by mike How much would it be for just the Link Knock box installed? Also where do you stuff it? Do you have any dimensions on it?

 

I've had one of these on my car for as long as I've had my GT30, its cheap and a definte MUST for anyone running a big turbo

 

It would be $259 installed and including tax. You can put it where ever you want. It's quite small, something like 2" by 3".

Thanks,

Geoff
