Hey guys,

I've got a 25 neo in my R32. Got a loom spliced together as part of the engine package. All works great except when I went to get it tuned the tuner said the knock sensors weren't working. I can't remember whether we (my brother and I) used the 32 or the 34 knock sensors but I've been told they should both work.

We're guessing the wiring in the loom somewhere is cactus so is there a way to wire them directly to the ECU?

Thanks!

the knock sensor loom on rb25's is part of the alternator loom. so if you used the 32 alt loom then you'll have no knock sensors hooked up at all.

on the intake mani theres two big wite plugs.. one is for injectors and the other is for knock sensors... is it plugged into anything?

This? (red and white shielded wires)

I made a thread ages ago about them and no one was much help. It was hanging off my motor when I got it.

I assume this is the knock sensor wiring? Can I just hardwire the knock sensors to where this plug goes to normally?

true but the point is that in this situation i dont think its been wired in correctly.

so if he used a 32 alt loom, he's prob got no knock sensors hooked up.. if he couldnt get any then the easy way out would be to run two wires from each sensor to the relevant pins in that bottom grey plug. (rather then go all the way to the ecu)

I've got a grey plug that goes to the injectors and another big grey plug that goes to the traction control (no butterfly in it so won't do shit).

That grey plug I posted up before was attached to the same place as where you've shown along with a brown and a black plug. The grey plug I've shown plugs into a grey (with purple centre) plug.

And thanks for your help both of you :(

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
