What a mess, and by mess I mean fun
Finally finished my EBC and KnocksenseMS wiring.
I'm waiting to hear from innovative about the status of my LC-1, and want to wait for it to come back before I bolt it all back up (I'm rewiring it)
but anyways here's how mine looks right now.
mess of wires:
knocksense unit:
LED (lights with knock events):
Boost solenoid:

can you go a little bit more in depth about this knocksense. What sensor did you use and where did you place it?
My GTX motor came with a knock sensor and a control box (probably just a filter) and I'm curious if I can use those or if I have to use something that has an existing tested calibration.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the website, but I do still like to know where you connected the sensor.

it appears to be....

im not, scred in stud, then torque a nut down on the flange....then the sensor, then the second nut, and one lock nut for good measure. I suspect the JB Weld might filter out some noise/knock and get bad readings...

yeah I have one here in front of me, and it literally is just a bolt with an allen head and a big *** nut. The bosch sensor is caputured between the big *** nut and the allen head.

I gotta get on my wiring...that **** scares the hell out of me though :(
However, I did get my clutch done without knowing what I was doing, and I've done a LOT of research into megasquirt...so maybe this wont be as bad as I think.

And who the chuff apart from me is going to see it? (granted a few people as I've photo'd and and posted it on a forum but you get my point)
Anyway I've not JBwelded it to the block, I've used JBweld to attach a bolt onto the block and the knock sensor is sitting on that bolts thread and torqued down with a nut and washer at both ends.
I don't see how the JBweld will filter anything out considering how hard it becomes once it's cured.
Some people need to get in the DIY spirit considering they're all using a DIY ECU
