Knock Sensor..is It Standard Built In?

[allthewaytotheskyline]

i always read that on power fc's that you read the knock of the engine...now do i need to buy an extra sensor to be able to see the knock reading or is it standardly(if thats a word) built into the engine r34gtt neo.

so just plug in the power fc and it reads the knock right away.

or

do i need an extra (item)(upgrade) to be able to see the knock reading???

Its standard, pfc just shows what the standard knock sensors are reading.

thank you very much, is it accurate?

[jeffworld2]

The knock sensors were put there by nissan, you just never had anything displaying what they say before

not in the slightest bit accurate.

if its a high number, you can almost sasume your knocking, but not necessarily.

if its low however you can probably assume you arent

[JunglBoi]

whats a normal number for the knock to be reading?

lol @ not the slightest bit accurate

What a load of crap. If the sensor is dead or faulty... fair enough, but... then its not working correctly now is it?

Knock between 20-35 is acceptable for a good tune from a PFC.

40-100 your tune really needs attention... over 100 its just plain crap

Sometimes if you hit the limiter it will smash over 100 etc. As the knock sensors do at times pickup other noises as "knock" but this is not common.

I'm really interested in the use of the standard knock sensor. I have an SITC and a SAFC and want to tune my own engine. I got an LM2 to do the afrs but have been looking for a knock detection device. Guilt Toy suggests that you need a K-Mon device at about $1200 to do the job but are you suggesting that if i can get something to read from the standard knock sensors that i can use that reading to adjust timing across the rev range?

Consult will read knock for under $100

Adriano, any idea on the ecu address for monitoring knock readings? In particular a 32gtst ecu.. I'm running remapped stock ecu and have a carpc with Datascan running all the time so would be nice to get a knock readout
