Hey guys!
Im doing my dissertation this year at uni on knock sensors in internal combustion engines for my mechanical engineering degree. Just making a start really and I wonderd if any of you guys know anything about it? Or maybe how VW go about it? Or have had any experiences i could use/mention. I know Subaru boxxer engines suffer a lot from this and Saab were the first to use anti knock on the 900 turbo, but not many other facts I can chuck in apart from maths lol.
You guys normally solve my problmes, so I thought it worth a try. Also been told I can refernce forums to a point, so any help would be much appriciated!
Cheers!

Re: Knock Sensors (Dissertation)
It might be worth getting in touch with some mobile re-mapping companies mate, this is something they test for when mapping cars, particularly high performance cars like Impreza's and Evo's. If you contact some of the mapping companies like More-Bhp, Awesome GTI, Jabbasport, Angel Tuning, Elite Remaps, AMD, JBS Auto Design etc i'm sure some of them will gladly help you

Re: Knock Sensors (Dissertation)
The bit that interests me is when manufacturers can programme ECU's to know which cyl to adjust the timing on from one knock sensor on a 6 cyl enginewilde67 wrote:Hey guys!

Checked and about 6 or 7 pdf files on the subject - if you're interested in copies shout - can't host them but they could be emailedbstardchild wrote:I'm sure I've got a bit of information that might be usefull - I'll have a look later
