Found all of the factory workshop manuals for the BA and BF here that have been ripped from the Ford website.

Put it through the drivers side kick panel, just opened the grommet up a bit and taped it up after. Managed to snap my bonnet release taking the panel off though which is annoying, hopefully super glue will solve that one.

Used the blue connector for power

I have a manual and I just pushed the wiring through next to the clutch hose.

I tried the hose and earmuffs setup under the recommendation of a tuner and I couldn't hear a thing. It was useless I don't know how he tunes like that. I can't really afford a pro knock monitoring tool so I have a ghetto setup with a stock knock sensor with wiring attached that I plug into my laptop so I can record and listen to it at the the same time. It is horrendous to listen to put it works surprisingly well considering it cost nothing. Obviously a professional tuner should have a proper kmon or whatever but for diy it gets the job done

Apparently the hose makes a huge difference. You need a really hard inflexible piece of tubing otherwise it absorbs the sound. What did you use?

I used nylon truck air brake hose

Wow just wow guys

If I only I could afford the proper tools hahaha

Step aside guys I got this f*ckn chit

From what I have heard a lot of the proper knock monitoring tools use the same bosch sensor but they have filtering to make it clearer and software to draw you a pretty graph. It's a similar concept just very simplified and cheaper

I don't think any of us do this for anything other than a hobby. $1000 for a professional knock detection solution is just a waste of money for something I would do in my spare time when I can hook up headphones to the stock sensors/a microphone or use det cans.

You do this for money so you easily recover that money and not only that you have a reputation to protect. Also if you pop a motor it isn't yours, we are all tuning our own cars so we can make the call.
