Well apparently after getting the car together for the first time it is missing the factory knock sensor and unless I can locate a good used one they are fairly pricey.

Is there another knock sensor I can use in place of the factory one on my FD that will work for logging with the datalogit?

Contact J&S, and ask them as they made their first RX7 unit in the 90s.

Also ask in the FD forum as this is not a PFC specific question.

Post a wanted to buy in the 3rd gen parts area. Just to be sure you know there is only one in the rear housing and not one in the front... (Or is it the other way around?)

Front housing. I was going to post a wanted ad. I am not looking for a whole stand alone unit just another sensor I can screw into the housing that will work with the PFC.

Separate knock sensor alert units like the knocklink, MSD knock alert and the J&S safegaurd seem to be reliable units it is just too hard to set the knock sensativity on a motor like the rotary especially with a noninsulated engine bay.

Unless someone has installed one of the above and has a tried and proven sensativity setting that isn't going to show false knock.

Thanks,
