Link Engine Management "Knock Link"

[1UZ-HZ]

Hey guys, do you think its possible to interface a Knock Link to the original knock sensors on the 1uz

Thats a question for "Link", not us.

They would have either written the program to suit a brand of Knock Sensor (ie Denso, or ACDelco), or they can customise it to suit your application.

yes it does work my knocklink is wired up to to knock sensor on my 1uzfe and running fine

 

[1UZ-HZ]

cool, thanks do you have it wired up to one only?

 

[supracharged1]

yes,the knock link can only handle one sensor at a time or have a switch to switch between sensors to have a look at each one , i am also running the the linkplus computer to run engine management working well so far just need it tuned.

yeh im totally thinking bout goin to the Link ECU now...seems worth it

I dont mean to sound stupid, but can somone tell me where the knock sensors are located, i am still trying to feel my way around the 1uzvvti i have. are they under the intake manifold, both sides? Also where is the air temp sensor located?. I am fitting a micro tech ecu at the .moment

cheers

I have a first generation 1uz and they are located in between the middle 2 cylinders in the "V"...i dont think they would have moved them...but i may be wrong!!! as for air temp sensor...not sure

 

[Peewee]

Air temp sensor is in the AFM (at least it is in the non-vvti)
If you are running a microtech, go buy a Delco airtemp sensor.
All JE Camira's, and any commie VN on use them.
Then get the microtech programmed to suit the air temp sensor.
