Marco79 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Bought a bundle of syvecs sensors a while back and there is a knock sensor, I take it the stock sensors aren't compatible with syvecs? Where does the syvecs knock sensor mount? Also should I have 2 or is 1 sufficient? Has anyone any wiring help on where to wire sensors to on the syvecs?

Marco79 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Also after an oil temp sensor, anyone t Know whitch one I need? Think there are 2sorts single wire and double wire so which can I use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I may be wrong but I thought you need two knock sensors to monitor the front and rear of the engine. As for the temp sensors I think the single wire is for the ecu and two wires are for gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 You only need 1 knock sensor. The Syvecs doesn't use the 2 stock sensors. Mount the Syvecs sensor on cylinder 4 just below the head anywhere where there is an M8 bolt. It wires into the Syvecs loom as follows:- Pin 17 knock sensor input Pin 18 knock sensor ground.

hodge Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 You need to use a 2 wire oil temp sensor. Wire 1 of the wires to any ground on the loom and the other wire to pin 59 on the Syvecs plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco79 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 That's what forums are about dude. one last question (for now ) I have an AFR sensor for the syvecs is it possible to add a gauge to the sensor or Would it interfere with the signal at all?

hodge Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 one last question (for now ) I have an AFR sensor for the syvecs is it possible to add a gauge to the sensor or Would it interfere with the signal at all? Not sure on that 1. I'm just using an AEM wideband gauge and run a signal wire from the gauge to the Syvecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries thanks mate I just thought that the dash2 can display everything but would be nice to have AFR on clear display all the time hence wanting to add a gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The dash2 does display everything but I bought the AEM before the I decided to get a dash2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco79 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 The dash2 does display everything but I bought the AEM before the I decided to get a dash2 Yeah it's great like that but you have to scroll to see certain readouts don't you? Least that's my understanding of it and would like to be able to see AFR easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just set 1 of you outputs on your main screen to display AFRs. I've got mine on screen 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good shout how many displays can you have on screen 1 bud? What torque do you bolt the knock sensor on with do you know mate? Is it as critical as the stock knock sensor torque?

Kev.O Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Well done Hodge, as always sound advice. That'll be easy enough to wire Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hmm, knock sensor torque is pretty critical actually, over tightening is very likely to knacker them. If it's a Bosch sensor or a stock one there are specified torque levels that are surprisingly LOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I put my knock sensor in this weekend on the M8 bolt hole that was used for a water pipe support bracket just below the head on cylinder 4/5. Make up torque I used 15ft/lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I have now put mine aswell only nipped it up lightly tho as I know how little the stock ones get torqued up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
