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

QUOTE(scothaniel @ Jul 12, 2006 - 2:42 PM) [snapback]455139[/snapback] Just to add to the heated fun here. I had a stock Toyota knock sensor on my All-trac with a Link Plus EMS. The EMS let me see the knock counts in nice pretty graphs, and under heavy boost I was seeing a ton of knock - tuning was in order. Anyways, I went through 2 knock sensors in as many months, then I switched over to the GM knock sensor. Same knock counts, but the sensor held up. A couple months later and the motor crank-walked due to bad machining. Regardless, the GM sensor had worked fine. So, I recently installed the GM knock sensor on the 3rd gen powered 6GC, and I started getting code 52 on the stock 205 ECU. Switched back to a stock knock sensor and it cleared up. Checked the EPC and the part numbers for the 3rd gen 3S is different then the 2nd gen. the important thing to note is that you were using an ems that is designed to work with just about any type of knock sensor, unlike the stock ecu . -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

EMS or stock ECU shouldn't matter. The knock sensor picks up the frequency emitted due to the bore of the cylinder and then just sends a signal to the ECU or EMS that knock is occuring. The bottom line is that the GM sensor will see some of the knock, just not all of it. I think it could actually be effective at getting more power out of a car because you will get knock retard less often. We have discussed ad nauseum whether that is a good idea.... -------------------- 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. |
