Hey all. Someone recently told me that 7-bolt engines don't have a knock sensor. Is this true?:confused: If it is, then how am I supposed to detect knock? Can I install a knock sensor somehow? I plan to get DSMlink later on, so how would I connect the (installed) knock sensor to DSMlink? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom.
 
Sweet, thanks guys. Rookie mechanic told me that the 7-bolts don't have knock sensors and I was like PPPHHFFFT WHAT?!?! WTF . Just thought I'd confirm with you guys. So far DSMtuners.com 1:thumb: , Mechanic 0:notgood: .

Thanks again, Tom.
 
Perhaps he thought that because you can't log it using normal means (meaning not-DSMLink).
 
Yes. It's commonly displayed in degrees of timing retardation, but if you want to calculate it into "counts" like most people write on here you can multiply degrees by 2.833.
 
DSMLink will log Raw data as well ( how many counts of knock) and will also log how many degrees the timing is being retarded
