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. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Well guys, after digging around on MR2OC for a while today, I've seen some good information on the knock sensors, but not enough to warrant having Doc go in there to undo what's already been done (the KS swap). We're just going to press on with the convesion as it's already installed, and granted while I did see guys claiming they didn't work and one or two guys with issues, that can happen with ANY part, and I saw a lot of good information supporting the GM KS conversion also.
I do appreciate the information and words, but I think this may be a case of long tubes vs. mid length headers in the F-Body world. I.E. it could easily swing either way (NO ONE ABUSE THAT STATEMENT )

Good luck. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
