During my search for a shift light , I didn't want to put a ricer tach in, I found something pretty cool. I had also wanted something in the car to tell my my engine was detonating. I found this http://www.turboxs.com/more_info.php?ID=212It is a warning light to tell you when you have spark knock and it doubles as a shift light. Once I found it I looked all over the internet to find out more about it. Seems to be exactly what I need and I ended up finding it for sale on ebay for $98 so I picked it up. I had to also buy a universal bosch knock sensor for $80.

This isn"t for everybody because most people don't tune their own cars. I refuse to let any mechanic or tuner touch my car so thats why I got it. Those of you that have the handheld tuners can use this to max out your timing. This seemed like a better option to me then the J&S safeguard that pulled timing for you (but that thing is still kinda cool)

I will be home at the end of the month and will install and test this.

Yeah like noone ever heard of the raptor before. This thing does the same thing but it also detects knock. http://www.turboxs.com.au/downloads/...te-Install.pdfInstall directions.

 

hey thanks for sharing this oxford. i've been looking for something like this as well. i checked out the one you're talking about that retards timing when it detects knock and i didn't really like the idea of this thing cutting 10-20 degrees of timing whenever it detects a knock. i'd rather it just tell me so i can adjust the timing myself. keep us posted cause i might end up putting one of these in my car when i put the supercharger on next month.

 

i'm bookmarking that link. i'd really like to have this as a safegaurd when/if I eventually get a supercharger.

 

it dont even fit a ford lol[>:]

 

What are you talking about it don't even fit a ford?
