Scott Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How do you guys have your wideband knock sensors mounted? Where is the best place to have it? I've been looking at this thing and pondering where to put it, how it mounts and how it works lol. Thought the best thing would be to do is just open it up to the panel Thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Now I think you may have been on the scotch big fella, A wideband and knock sensor are 2 diff things, its best to put the wideband in the DP/MP and knock sensor on the block.......................they work better that way.

I might be but I thought "Wideband" was just a description of the range? The stock knock sensors are very basic only monitoring a very small range of detection, wheras the aftermarket knock sensors that you can buy for the Syvecs ECU are wideband and therefor cover a much larger frequency range? Similar to that of the wideband and narrowband O2 sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I think you will find that if you say wideband people will asume you mean the O2 sensor. the S6 only uses 1 knock sensor and that normally will go on the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If it's the knock sensor you mean Scotty, it goes in the block below the headgasket in any M8 threaded hole, I'm sure mine went on cylinder 4. The wideband (O2) sensor, I put mine in the midpipe so as it wasn't exposed to too much heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 So you have changed your mind about knock sensor location then Ryan? you told me a few years ago that the best place on the Supra was on the plenum, as it transmits the sound/vibration better.

With detcans that don't filter then yes manifolds is best but if you have a proper knock sensor setup then the block is the only place to have it and has to be intake side!
