Hey guys

As much as i love the power fc and it's knock feature, i'd prefer a device that would flash a warning light when i'm on throttle and my eyes are pinned on the road. I've decided that the turboxs knock lite would be a good idea, link. I have a couple of questions though

1.Would running off the factory det sensor affect the reading i currently get on my power fc?

2.There are two det sensors on the rb26, which sensor should i use for the turboxs knock lite? i would assume the rear cylinders are more prone to knocking

Cheers

If you are running a PFC the cat temp or engine check light will already flash if knock exceeds a set level.

If you want something larger than the dash light, just tap into the dash light's power supply from the ECU and run something bigger. We built a custom dash in the nugget with this setup using a 12v LED pilot light.

Good idea, the fc is set at 60 knock before the light comes on, how can i set this value lower/what is a suitable value?

you need datalogit to change the knock level needed for the light to flash. 60 is a fairly good value tho, anything under that isnt serious enough to do damage as a one off thing, of course if its constantly up there then it might be a problem.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
