Aren't the plugs totally different?&nbsp The knock box is not that important, cause the ECU ignores it after 4kRPM...

The knock control is a joke.&nbsp The ECU ignores the input after 4kRPM, cause the engine is too noisy at those RPM's.&nbsp It's really only to retard timing due to knocking during cruising on the freeway; it won't save you at WOT.&nbsp The knock sensors tend to melt it's black epoxy fill and make a mess!&nbsp I removed mines cause of this...
