ihiryu Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hey guys, A friend of mine has been building these knock lights that work really, really well. They are programmable, to use ANY knock sensor. The only down side of this unit is that you have to wire in your own knock sensor, and you have to do some testing on it. Not a big deal. It comes with everything you need including the the USB cable for programming. It comes with 5-6 ft of shielded wire ready to go as well too. Features: LEDs to show intensity of the knock It has a HEADPHONE jack (my favorite feature. One wire to the knock gauge, and the other in to the Aux in of a radio). It supports both digital and analog out. He sales these units at 109 a pop, but obviously there is a discount as units sell. But I just wanted to gauge interest to see if anyone else would be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I would be interested in one...wish the CDN dollar wasn't such a turd right now, but if we can get at least a little off, it would certainly be worth it. Seems like a reasonable price for what is all included. Even if group buy doesn't proceed, I'd be interested in where to buy one.

ihiryu Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have mine, been playing around with it, and different knock sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarner Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Where would you mount the knock sensor on an L24? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Anywhere you want it. You can filter out the knock noises. So worst case scenario, you could mount it to the bolt on the header. Definitely not ideal though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have mine, been playing around with it, and different knock sensors. so it reacts a little differently depending on the sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd assume you just tune it to the freq you calculate knock should be at/then it filters that band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Bingo. There's actual software you use, and you can fine tune it. I was just trying to find a good all around sensor (since i'll be using this on different cars to use for tuning). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzurp Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Can you tap into the factory knock sensor (if you have something other than an L) or will that cause issues with the factory ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm not sure. I haven't tested it that way yet. No cars that I own use the factory ECU. I would imagine it would work if you used like a pass through style connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I would definitely be interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnickel Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Any update on this? I sold a few things on ebay and came into some paypal funds and am looking at getting some sort of knock detection for when I go to turn the boost up on the beast.

mtnickel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Ordered one up. Assembled is 125 + shipping.Link is : http://www.insaneimportperformance.com/home.html He could do with a little more detailed info, but ihiryu described it well. Even at that price it's a full featured unit compared to what's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS02 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I would buy a board and display unit. Fair price and better than eBay company crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
