hi guys just after abit of advice from you cossie experts,
i want to run a 2wd engine on a l8 an a 4x4 loom to go with the ecu.......
problem i have come across after examining the wiring diagrams and
sussing the difference bettween the 2wd and 4x4 is that the 4x4 runs a
knock sensor were the 2wd does not.......were do i go from here???
is there a facility on the 2wd engine to fit a knock sensor???? (this would make life alot eaiser if there is) or will the l8 run ok with no knock sensor ???? (somehow i dont think so)
i would much prefer to use a knock sensor for the added safety for the engine.....
so what is you guys opinion ??? ive hit a brick wall an in new zealand there is not alot
of people with the knowlage of cosworths.....please help me

I think it runs ok without a knock sensor connected?

Sorry mate no pic but it goes in the block where there is a bung for another breather or return, ya should be able to see this if your 205 block has it which im pretty sure it does. good luck.
