Info about stock knock sensor
Hi fellows,
we're planning to do an interesting tuning on a 1.8 BP. It's a 1994 NA.
However the customer asked us to think about some redundancy/fail control, and to monitor the knock.
It is possible to install the NB knock sensor on a NA block?
Anyone has already tried this?
In which way the knock sensor works? Without information, we tend to think about the knock will close wiring (or open) only when knock detected, but it's like guess-pointing.
Please consider that the ECU is fully programmable and already allow for knock control.

We was wondering if the boss in wich the sensor goes was already threaded and plugged or if was full casted and must being drilled and threaded.
Does the sensor tip goes into oil for batter monitoring (like 90's renault?) or just plain metal-metal pinging trasmission?

That looks fairly OEM sized. They don’t produce very high voltage, you’re lucky to get 1v with extreme knock. I might suggest a decent knock sensor that’ll give you valuable 0-5 volt info and there are plenty of places to mount one on a BP block
