BTW j_man; I stand corrected on the knock sensor. I just reread the thread on m.net about the subject. This is the second time you suggest it to me and I simply forgot. That's what old age does to me!

so it either goes on a particular mount or it goes on the engine block... i need to find a miata i can look at

Nope. I have that adapter (from the Knocksense times) too but it doesn't fit the Saturn sensor thread.
What are my options? I read you went to some hardware store and bought something and had it welded. I just didn't understand what. To the op: sorry for threadjacking edit: I just saw your post. You mention a nut. (I guess I'm the nut in this instance). |

Then I'm screwed because that's the one currently in my block.

You buy a 10x1.5mm nut from your local hardware store (the Saturn sensor, which is threaded, can bolt in that nut). Then you get your original motor mount bolt along with the new nut to a someone with a welder and tell him to weld the nut to the bolt head. And you end up with a mounting block for your new sensor :)

will that work for an engine mounted transverse like in the AWD and FWD car? Which motor mount do you hook this on to?

my only engine mount that attatches to the block is the passenger side mount, i'm kind of confused how attaching the knock sensor to the mount will allow it to read knock inside the engine doesn't the end of the sensor actually have to touch the block?

I am using a flat response (bosch?) knock sensor on my aem ems and it does work. Not ideal due to the low voltage but it does work.
It's a leftover from my link ecu days. Now on the AEM EMS I've yet to see a signal above 0.99 volts. I've even started up the logging and started banging stuff with a hammer just to see what would get recorded. Still nothing above 0.99 volts. I thought this was a 5v sensor? Right now I just consider anything above 0.3v is probably real knock, and I've got my timing WAY retarded. I'd like to have a knock function that I actually have faith in. Would an external bandpass filter help to get the old Link/Bosch/FM sensor to log like it used to on the Link? Is there any advantage to buying the "7 khz sensor from the GM Saturn, part number 21021879"? Should I rescale the sensor table in the AEM EMS from a 5v to a 1v? I saw that 'JasonC SBB' mentioned a bandpass circuit, does anyone have the link? |

I'm going to give this a try.
Attachment 201814 I havn't been able to rescale the volt axis from 5v to 1v, but using auto expand, with knock volts in its own plot in AEMLog works just as well for viewing at least. |
