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
hobo Member 22 Member For: 18y 11m 3d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/09/15 12:11 AM 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

hobo Member 22 Member For: 18y 11m 3d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 21/09/15 01:05 AM 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

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
