Usually map all my cars with the old ears as knock detectors, but having just started mapping my new car and being a bit concerned about destroying the engine! ive bought a ks3, anyone used them before? looks like a good bit of kit.

 

Looks good in the video on their website, dont know if it can ever be as good as the human ear though for picking up the real early Det, post up how you get on with it will be interesting to hear your feedback!

 

I think a few of the more serious Subaru boys use these in their cars and I've heard good things.


Cheers,

Will do mate, its new tools for me too
That will be me then its going on my scoob

 

whats wrong with the ol skool way of making your own det cans and using them?

 

i got report by 2 old people on the m3 for using my old det cans they reported a lunatic in a whitecar with a tube hanging out the car

 

pmsl jay

yeah we got some funny looks when we were checking over my 3dr and the look on the scooby drivers face was priceless as we went past with my mate in the passenger seat, det cans, laptop on lap and a one finger salute to the scooby

 

here we go lol i founds pics as spotted at junc 7 of the m3

 

I dont think the bright orange cans helped much

 

Tell you what - its a good job we dont live in the states - as people ccall the police if they see someone going down the road rather quick, whereas here in the UK we either ignore them, race them or cheer them on

 

you think i didnt give it much thought at the time tbh

 

his face must have been a picture witha wtf! expression on his face

 

i would have been locked up in a padded cell a long time ago

 

it was his wife was the best as she noticed first at the junction and telling him to look , as he did look round i grinned at them like jack nicholson in the shinning

 

KS3 works well guys, has helped me remove timing at 5000+ rpm and i could not hear det at all!

 

any more updates? hows the car coming along?
