i tried this on th 2gen forum and figure they mostly mod there cars buy honda standards (no real internal engine mods) just lights wheels and body mods. i am trying to finish a sleeper and need real help i know what a knock sensor does but would like to know the affects of not having one and maybewhere i could get one but here it is when swapping a tII motor tranny and ecu/harness into my 86 gxl i broke the little knock sensor computer taking the harness out the donor car and still managed to get the car running but it acts like it is way retarded when geting reved up any thoughts or experience of the lack of a knock computer would be appreciated i am trying to make sure the rest of the swap went well thanks

 

ok maybe none of you have ever broken the knock computer but does anyone see any light at the end of the tunnel for me finding another any help would be appreciated thanks

 

okay lemme help you out a bit. its important none the less. sure you can ride without but how safe is that. i cant speak on the RX7 cause i have not had this problem but im sure you will want to have one. they are picky motors. go to mazda, maybe carparts.com. something like taht. i had cruised around without one on my honda. it broke and i didnt want to buy a new one. i got the ECU chipped to make it like there wasnt one in the first place(i love computers. fool them.) yes, i did not have a knock. oh well its just a honda motor. only 400.00. this is a 13b. dont mess with it. buy one

My stock knock sensor on my 3rd gen spilled its gooey guts last year. A new one was $116 or something like that from MazdaComp, probably $140 or so at the dealer.
