knocksense install
I know, I'm lazy or whatever.
When I install knocksense, can I use hardware in the spot from the stock knocksensor, or do I need to get a bolt or some **** with a setup like what Fm sales?
wtf?

I just want to now if the knocksense sensor will bolt where the stock one goes, or if I need to go buy a bolt, nuts...or what the **** ever. I'm tired of dicking around like a ------ with this ****, and I'm about to put my 3-day weekend to work with Ms, knocksense, swaybars, and awesomeness.

If I were to hazzard a guess, I'd say it's a denso unit. I've never seen the NB KS in person, only pictures on the interweb. It looks nothing like the bosch sensor I know and love.
I paid something like $25 for my bosch sensor--I've seen them for a little less (used), but I paid a little premium for the 1 stop shop deal. And Boris ended up throwing in the LED kit for me.

**** it, I'm not installing it. I can't find a dyno shop who can resist ******* me.
They all want $600 to tune the car. One estimated $1800 and would need the car for 2 days...lol.

just took a look at my FM KS mount. It's 2.5" top to bottom. However, something I didn't realize before: the motor mount bolt has a larger circumference (1 cm) than the knock sensor's bolt hole (.6 cm). Since you can't hog out the knock sensor itself, probably the best thing to do is weld a stud that fits through the knock sensor's mounting hole to the top of an original motor mount bolt, and then capture the sensor to it with a nut.
Uhm, easiest thing it to by the FM mount tho

if enough people are interested I can get double sided studs made which will have the proper length/thread for the engine mount with a hex head in the middle, and the proper length and thread pitch for the bosch unit on the other side... so all you'd need is this stud and a nut to install.
Price would probably be around $15-20 ea though.
*edit* quote request sent to manufacturer, I'll update you guys when I hear back.
