f22a sohc knock sensor

[brand0n327]

i was wondering if anyone had any info on what knock sensor i need to use for my f22a? and what wiring i would need to do for it? thanks

F22A engines does not use a knock sensor. AFAIK, none of the US 90-93 Accord ECUs have a knock circuit enabled.

Give us some context on what you're doing and why you feel like you need a knock sensor.

thats why i asked which one i needed i know it didnt come with one...but i know the hseries did...im boosted and im going to be running high amounts of boost..and i wanna know if ill be getting knock at any degree so i can tune it right

I don't use a knock sensor on my h22 and im running almost 30psi. A good tuner will listen for knock when it's on the dyno, after it's tuned just monitor afr and you should be good. If you do get it going and it's useful let us know.

Feel free to post that sort of information in the original post.

As far as I know there are no stock Honda knock sensors that will correctly monitor knock on a boosted setup. Besides you really should have your ignition timing properly tuned on a dyno and not have to rely on a knock sensor.

alright thanks guys...how would i know if im getting spark knock or not? the weird thing is. is when i turn the knock sensor option on hondata on it reads 4 degrees...any info on that one? i just want to make sure im not messing up my motor...also when im cruising my afr is at like 16.8 to 17....any one know how to adjust that..at wot its perfect...i know that question is in the wrong section but i didnt want to make another post and take up room...again thanks guys

Does the car like to cruise or idle that lean? If its running good like that you should be just fine, you could add some fuel if your worried about it. Your wot is perfect, as in? 11.5-12 or?

I'm not a fan of street tuning, if your making 500whp+ and doing 4th gear pulls trying to monitor things bad things can happen quick.

IMO the best tool to monitor knock is something similar to this-

Mounts under oil pan and my tuner uses one on every car he does. Probably best to use only on the dyno although i have seen someone use one at the track making test runs. He doesn't use this exact one but it's something similar*

Those monitors are a great tool, maybe not cost effective for the once in a while tuner though. I have to say, mounting it to the oil pan is a different way to read combustion chamber knock.

OP if you are looking for a good quality knock sensor for a boosted engine. Try finding a way to hook up a wideband knock sensor. It would do you much better than any stock Honda KS.
