dansmini: Yep, similar trickery to the $10 ebay mod, which is really just a 29 cent resistor.

I haven't tried any of this... yet. I'll get around to it some weekend.

jwardell: I have to disagree, 'mate, but I do concur with your description of knock sensor operation. Adding a resistor to subtract 30* degrees F from the true temp signal would not necessarily cause knock/detonation to occur. Sure it could, but its not a given. Perhaps we'd only see knock on a 105* degree F day, with high humidity, going uphill with the A/C on, at full boost? In this case, the knock sensor becomes a safety device for exceeding the capabilities of efficient combustion.

On the other hand, if subtracting 30* from the temp signal produces immediate knock, then obviously this trick would be a bad thing.

Maybe this is all moot on a supercharged engine? As compression builds, so does the likelihood for detonation to occur. If so, then there isn't much point in this if we can't use all the boost through the entire rev range.

Still, I like hearing everyone's opinion! Keep it up!

ciao!
