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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
