IanJ Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Brand new complete with sensor. Bag was only opened to see what was in it. £110
dave_morgan Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Detects knock/detonation/pinking/pre-ignition in the engine and alerts you via the led lights. Very useful if you're running any mods to give you some advance warning of potential problems. Detonation is the cause of the majority of the sti5/sti6/P1 engine problems (as well as other models obviously, although it does seem more common on these).
jamie_wood Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Shows up any unwanted Detination in the combustion chamber as a result of incorrect Air to Fuel mixtures. Good add-on for any turbo charged car
IanJ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 Hi Gareth, Click here to read about knocklinks. In summary they are handy little things that help make sure your engine doesn't go pop if you run sub-standard fuel or too high boost etc Edited to say....Damn too slow!
ormiboy Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 the kl displays the level of engine knock on a led scale by listening to a type of microphone bolted to the top of your engine. the big red led means lift right foot. or keep it down and plan a visit to the bank there is already one fitted by subaru but they dont give you an indication, instead the feed a value to your ecu which adjusts engine operation to stop its destruction. well worth the pennys IMO. they are pretty ugly tho so lots of peeps install the leds remote from the box somewhere nice and easy to see.
G.T. Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 thank you gents you are all so knowledgeable cheers again

jamie_wood Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Platsatan, Whats the rpm limiter come in at on your car? Just wondered cause mine went to 8250 rpm and I dont remember there being red marks until then. No reason for asking, just interested. oh...and mine only did 125mph in 5th at 8250rpm
sandyRS16i Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 mine has the same dials, redline at 7800rpm, not sure if thats the case never had it up that far.....yet Ian J I touch goats
colin_ross Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Used to be 8250 but since going apexi I've set a soft limit of 7800. Still good for well over 150mph with Type R gearing. Will be moving it much higher in the next month or so.....8500 and 170mph anyone???
killa Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Seems like I have no new messages at the moment please try again, thanks
IanJ Posted January 19, 2006 Author Posted January 19, 2006 Cheers Acid PM'd again as you seem to have switched it on now (Another bizarre bug, it let me reply to his PM but doesn't show one being sent!)
