Safc 2 Knock Sensor

I have an rb25det series 1. finished hooking up the safc2 and all is working fine.

i have one query about the knock sensors though.

there are 2 knock sensor wires on the ecu one for cyl 1-3 and one for 5-6?? is this right?

to my knowledge there is only 1 knock sensor wire on the safc, do i need to tap into both of these wires? or is there a second knock wire from the safc2?

i have the knock sensor wire from safc tapped into one of the ecu knock sensors atm, but do not get any knock readings on the safc.

i assumed there would be a small amount of knock or is it because ive hooked it up wrong.

can someone please help me out with this and clear it up??

Thankyou

thanks zennon i have that printed out at home, but found it pretty much all over the shop and confusing. ill try and have a read through it again.

but from what i can see there is 1 wire from the safc for knock and it needs to be tapped into both knock wires on the ecu.

yeah as a whole its fairly easy, was just this knock sensor thing im a little unsure of.

just make sure all your connections are sweet. the splitters i used werent the best for the job and made a dodgy connection. caused me a bit of trouble.

nah the safc doesn't have two knock wires, just one. you need to get a multimeter and probe into both of the knock sensor wires at the ecu when the car is running. the one that has the higher voltage is the one you splice into.

2nd one in the thread - you're on a roll! :banana:

haha i didnt even notice the other one. slow day at work today... my brains not working

awesome thanks qwk32 :) i'll check that out.

should an untuned rb25det be getting a small amount of knock? it shouldnt always be at zero should it? i may have read that wrong somewhere though

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
