where is the knock sensor on a 2.3L 4 banger and will it help or hurt anything?<edited><editID>93cobra</editID><editDate>37957.4191782407</editDate></edited>

 

there isn't one...

probably not the best idea, disconnecting them on NA engines probably isn't bad(especially if the regular 2.3 had one, doubt you could hurt it too bad...) but with a turbo engine it'll want to knock a lot, especially with bad gas, and knocking with a turbo going is a bad thing, that's why turbo engines have forged instead of cast pistons...

 

The guys at turbo ford and svoca recomend it?

 

oh, ok, I'm just going on instinct, they have experience... I talk with someone sometimesthat's into the turbo engines and he installed his(swapped into ranger), but he is running more than stock boost so I guess that's more important then...</P>


maybe I should just shut up, my head hasn't been completely straight with this being finals week ... like me having a final in 2.5 hours</P>
