Managed to snap my bonnet release taking the panel off though which is annoying, hopefully super glue will solve that one.

hobo Member 22 Member For: 16y 6m 3d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/09/15 12:11 AM Share Posted 21/09/15 12:11 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a really hard inflexible piece of tubing otherwise it absorbs the sound. What did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo Member 22 Member For: 16y 6m 3d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/09/15 01:05 AM Share Posted 21/09/15 01:05 AM 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you pop a motor it isn't yours, we are all tuning our own cars so we can make the call. Edited 21/09/15 01:18 AM by rollex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
