Default Knock sensors, who uses them on high power engine/management

Happy new year and all that.


i'm wondering, as these were fitted to later cossie's onwards,
who's still uses them, or fitted with a after market Ecu's?



as i was wondering if anyone has issues with miss reading of different vibrations/ noises, say from a noisey Dog gearbox etc etc?


Cheers Danny

the new m3 and e60 m5 run ion sensing system,, this measures the resistance of the spark plug gap, there is a sudden change of resistance detonation starts to occur! very complex!

E60 M5 run very impressive ecu system!

it would work perfectly,, once you spent the money on developing it! not an easy job!

can anyone remember when simon (secs) was developing a system to fit to cosworth which would stop them from blowing up? i wonder if it was alsong those lines as he never said nothing more about it
