Knock sensor Q's (The search don't work)
Well I just try to find a way to watch for knock. I have a SAFC II but the only way it'll let me see knock is if I have a stock sensor which I don't. So I was wondering if you guys in all of your infinite wisdom knew of a way to help me out. Is it just as simple as picking up a 1 wire sensor and plugging it in to the SAFC, or is it more involved.

It would be more involved then that. I think the safcII just plugs into your obd port to monitor sensors like a dsm datalogger would. Joseph Davis made a post a few months ago about making an electronic knock monitor with a stock knock sensor and an amplifier and some headphones from radioshack.
I keep meaning to make one for myself but haven't got around to it yet. |

For all the effort required to make an electronic one, it would be easier and cheaper to make a det can setup and use that for initial tuning. Knock sensors only pick up certain frequency (i.e. larger amounts of knock) where as with a det can setup you yourself can listen in on your engine to determine whether or not it has knock, even down to the smallest amount.
