KS-3 vs det cans
 

.....please no arguing.


whats peoples opinions of the ks-3 KS-3 Knock Analyser - Knock Detection System. Complete Kit - Knock Sensor Included. against the good old fashioned det cans?

I know tuners will probably argue FOR the det cans, but I think technology is starting to get far superior.

I know of software for the evos that uses the standard knock sensor, and guys tune this to random knockcounts of 1 or 2. but apperently using det cans with said software, you can't hear anything until about knock counts of 4-6.
.....so with that being the case, I know which I prefer.

opinion, pros, cons.........

cheers

KS3 is very good.

I use both KS3 and old fashioned det cans.

i'm thinking of getting the KS-3

KS3 in my car.

Here is an early thread discussing it on 22b: 22B Bulletin Board: Phormula Knock Analyser Pro (Det Cans)

Used by quite a few of the top tuners I believe (with the Pro add on) inc Zen Performance and Andy Forrest Performance.

There is a Pro Add-on for tuners which includes headphones.

why do you use cans as well?......just to double check?


....do you find it registers det before you can pick it up in the cans?

How do you know your knock analyser isn't having a deaf day..
I'd trust my ears far more than some flickering numbers

Paranoia :thumb:

fair enough....lol

do you have the pro add-on, or just use the display on the ks3?

Just the KS3 - I calibrate with both (and the knock detection on the ecu) once confident that KS3 is reading what the det cans demonstrate then I am happy.

Just use the normal KS3 here.

Am happy to look into extending the £10 OFF Offer if there is enough interest... :thumb:
