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. biggrin.gif



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.

don't almost all sensors go into a safe mode when the sensor doesn't reply back to the ecu without a voltage reading?

cars have come a LONG way.

also, gotta use that frequency completely
it covers a RANGE, but the range depends on the type of sensors and such.

and since engine resonancies can chance easily, i'd just stick with what there is.

or if you got money, just find a way to bypass the knock sensor completely and run 103 octane all the time smile.gif

I would think so. I know my T/A ran like crapola when my knock sensor popped on me. But I wasn't aware that toyota had built in a way to limit boost output at the same time. Neat trick there.
