Can i ask a stupid question...... What exactly does the Knocklink do ???

 

It reads engine noise and displays it as a level indicated by a coloured led. Much like a VU meter on a stereo.

If a cylinder starts detonating, ie it's no longer a smooth burn of fuel the explosive force will create a knock, much like a hammering effect, which will be registered as noise then displayed as flashing LEDS. Hopefully this will give you enough time to back off before permanently damaging the engine. Then get the cause of the problem sorted without a rebuild.

It can also pick up background noise like valvetrain at high revs, which would tend to show up as steadily increasing noise.

Have the knocklinks been sent by BR Developments yet? I haven't seen anything yet?

 

Have not heard anything from BR developements yet. I spoke to them on wednesday last week and they said they had 13/15 and hoped to post out over the weekend/monday providing they got 15 payments. I sent them an email on friday asking if they had 15 (pretty sure they do) but have not got a reply. If I don't have one in the post today I will phone them to ask what the status is.

***

Just got an email back, BR did not get them posted yesterday but expect to post them today, tomorrow at the very latest. Apologies for the slight delay but they will be here by the later part of the week.

 

managed to pay this morning after telephone tag, he said they would be going in post today/tomorrow,(signed for delivery).

Well my KL has just arrived.

Thanks for sorting this GB out borat52.

 

Got mine this morning too.

A big thanks to all who took part and also to B.R Developements for a speedy delivery and great service.

 

Borat,

Have been asked by scoobyraj to thank you for organising the GB. The KL arrived this morning!!!

 

mine is still not here

 

Wouldn't worry too much, they were sent recorded delivery and depending on the time of post it can take 2 days to get there. Should be with you tomorrow I would have thought.

 

My mate's one turned up. Thanks for organising.

Dave

 

cheers borat and all at BRD, mine turned up this morning. just one question, where is the best place to fit the sensor on the engine?

 

Mine arrived today

Big thanks Borat52 for organising this GB and to BRD for supplying them

 

Yep, mines arrived too .... thanks mate!!

 

Cheers Borat and BRD got KL this morning

 

Got mine aswell now............Thanks

 

mines arrive too
cheers
ray t

 

and mine
thanks borat


just need something to put it in now.......

 

got mine yesterday nice 1 for settin this up mate

 

got mine today.

now all i need to do is get someone to fit lol

 

Anyone fitted it yet??

Where abouts have you put the knock sensor?? I have a sti v2 and I've read something about bolting it on under the intercooler

Thanks

T.

 

Have yet to fit mine yet, but yes apparently under the intercooler on the passenger side there is a threaded bolt hole on the block. Bolt it on here securely and it will be fine from what I have read on here. Not a clue what size bolt you will need though!

 

Existing OE uses M8x20mm. New Bosch sensor needs M8x30mm I believe.

 

I got mine fitted the other day, it stays on green very dim though then as you give it some stick the green light gets brighter. Its never gone into the other colours yet, is this normal?
Also, what does the little adjustment screw on the side do?
cant find the instructions!

Colin.

 

Col, screw on the side increases/decreases the sensitivity. You should calibrate it so that under normal conditions you steadily get more lights as more revs come in but never get the knock light.

Where do you fit the sensor to the block? I've been trying all afternoon but cant get mine on. Heres a picture of my block below the passenger side of the intercooler, the arrow is where I am trying to fit it. Is this correct as my M8 bolt wont go in for love nor money.

 

I've fitted mine today.

I screwed the sensor on the place in the picture above using a 30mm M8 bolt.

The Knocklink is on max sensitivity and I am occasionally, when booting it, seeing a quick flash of red.

I quite often get the red light when I change gear during hard acceleration.

Nice green lights most of the time and usually just the first one. Has been nice and cold today. SHould be interesting in the summer.
