hodge Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Am I right in thinking the Syvecs doesn't use the 2 stock knock sensors and only uses the it's own aftermarket sensor I fitted that I bought with the Syvecs. If not I can remove the sensors from the engine and cut the connectors and wiring out the loom. A little less clutter under that Plenum Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I asked about what I could remove from the loom and the knock sensors weren't mentioned John. I think the ECU still uses them as the aftermarket one is a wideband sensor, the 2 stockers are narrow band. I think the 3 of them together are a complete setup.

hodge Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Just to confirm the knock sensors are the 2 sensors with the BIG hex nuts arnt they ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah 2 hex nuts with the connector sticking out the middle. Just under 2 and 4 on the block IIRC. Will these need bunged up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they don't go right into the block. There 1/8 NPT threads that just screw into the casting IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Nice post. Good to know. I will remove them from my block and loom too!! Will probably get something to bung the holes so they don't rust out and I wouldn't want to paint into the threads incase they are ever needed. Edit - Out of interest where have you positioned your new knock sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If it's not to late can you delete them out of My loom too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABZ988 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interested to know where you fitted the syvecs knock sensor .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interested to know where you fitted the syvecs knock sensor .. Just below the head on cylinder number 4. And M8 thread around there will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 So surely you need to run another wire to the syvecs if you cut out the stock knock sensor wiring? Why cant the stock loom be used as I thought you could get an adapter to convert the stock ecu plugs to the syvecs. Sorry if thats a daft question, just want to know before I start chopping my loom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if thats a daft question, just want to know before I start chopping my loom The problem is, the stock loom is odviously very old, and IMO, for the nessessary sensors the Syvecs is using I would want brand new wires to illuminate any interference that might occour. I made a full custom loom for my car, every added sensor had fresh wiring and all the wires that weren't needed wre removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks John, understand now, so basically cut the wires near the ecu plug and run new ones to each sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks John, understand now, so basically cut the wires near the ecu plug and run new ones to each sensor. The Syvecs only needs 1 Knock sensor. I've got pin outs for where the sensors go on the Syvecs plug if you want to run them direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks John that would be very helpful, no rush as I am still a good few months away from doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
