    I removed all the moving parts and bearings, then tapped it for NPT thread and used an NPT plug for it.

    Re: 85 glh

    Had to design a beefier new crank sensor bracket.





    Engine bay good to go.


    Injector resister, on/off idle solenoid


    E85 sensor


    Boost control solenoid and PCV blowby solenoid (opens at 0psi)


    Fuseblocks and PC680 battery





    I think all hardware install are done, now is just tuning left.

    .

    I did this with a fuel pump blockoff plate but i had to have a vertical run in the hose to keep it from blowing too much oil out under normal conditions. Probably wouldn't have that much splashage doing what you sugessted.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    Not needed as I have a 2 ports valve cover.


    Fully welded and balanced the crank pulley.





    I am able to run way more spark timing on E54 with Microsquirt than I did with E85 with Logic Module doing my 290whp dyno, and this is only my first try E54 ignition tune.

    Re: 85 glh

    Now that is interesting. On my 2.5 I was down to 1* total above 16 or so psi and below 4k rpm. I assume it's due to the more stable crank trigger, as you suggested. Not having play induced by the timing belt, oil pump gears and plastic riveted shutter wheel.

    Re: 85 glh

    I've been asked about the knock system I use, so I thought I write it down.

    MS2/Microsquirt only accept knock sensor with a knock module, and most of the knock modules has only a output of 0-5V digital on/off. I wanted something more, and I found lilknockmeter.

    Features of lilknockmeter are:
    A set of LEDs from green to yellow to orange and red, giving you the severity of knocks (LED lights is adjustable via software)
    Audio jack output (use headphone to listen to knock!)
    0-5v on/off digital output
    0-5v analogue output
    Software to calibrate the lilknockmeter

    I was very happy to find lilknockmeter, you will not find another product with all these features and this low price! Product is made in California, great support from the Leonard, the lilknockmeter creator!

    I used the parts below for my install.

    A knock module call lilknockmeter, https://www.ebay.com/itm/Knock-senso...lTUcSv&vxp=mtr, made by Insane Import Performance LilKnockMeter 2 has two sensors for V6.
    a VW BOSCH knock sensor 0261231038 (3 wire knock sensor, signal, ground, and ground for the shielding)
    VW N90905502 m10x1.5 to m8x1.25 stud, $2-$3 at VW dealer
    M8x1.25 washer
    M8x1.25 nut
    3 wire BOSCH sensor connector, https://www.ebay.com/itm/B1-Rectangl...53.m2749.l2649

    Stock Chrysler knock sensor is mounted on the intake manifold between number 2 and number 3 runner.
    The knock sensor is now mounted at the AC bracket at the block between the 1st and 2nd cylinder.


    Lilknockmeter is wired up in the car with 12v, ground,0-5V analogue going to Microsquirt, and the shielded cable going to the knock sensor.

    My current lilknockmeter software settings are

    Frequency = 6.64kHz (I used this to calculate knock frequency https://www.phormula.com/KnockCalculator.aspx)
    Gain = 2.0
    Time = 240
    Threshold = 0500 (0 to 1024 range, corresponds to 0-5V, so 500 = 2.5V)
    Cylinder = 4

    Chrysler uses 0-5 V analogue setup, since I can only set up the LED come on at one voltage, I set it at 2.5V for now.

    That knock meter looks really promising. For guys not running ms3 and for 3.0l guys.

    Re: 85 glh

    I like the fact that it has an audio output. Actually being able to hear what's triggering it during initial setup would give me confidence in it. It could even be recorded simultaneous to a datalog to help set it up. I remember someone on here saying they bought one of these a while back but hadn't really messed with it yet. Ondonti maybe? Pretty slick unit. Looks well worth the price. I'll probably grab one myself.

    Re: 85 glh

    oh wait, it doesnt have programmable levels for different RPM points? when i was looking at the user interface, i thought it had that. i guess its not as promising as i thought.

    ..... unless.....

    if you use the bosch wideband sensor in the stock location and it has frequency filtering like the TPIC texas instruments chip that really narrows down the frequency measured. so that the knock signal that you are picking up is significantly louder than the background noise at high rpm. and thats a maybe. then again, with audio out, you could test it pretty easily.

    listen to the engine with the headphones, set the threshold so you dont get knock at max rpm/max noise. then induce knock at a low rpm with part throttle, really low boost lots of timing advance. if it picks up knock then, then you should be ok.

    dont set it to the voltage of the stock tune. the stock sensor isnt actually outputting that voltage. its outputting an AC wave thats triggering the base of a transistor thats charging up a capacitor from the 0-5v power circuit of the ecu. the A/D samples that DC voltage thats stored in the capacitor at the appropriate time and thats the voltage thats defined in the knock vs rpm table in the stock cal.

    I'm under the impression that the frequency setting is just that. An adjustable bandpass filter. What you hear on the headphones may or may not be exactly the same as what the software hears but either way you could still record the audio output. A program like Adobe Audition will be able to show you a color coded graph of the frequencies and their amplitudes. It should be easy to pinpoint the audio frequency of knock that way. Unless, like you said, background noise at the same frequency drowns it out. I imagine sensor location is the key. For tuning the spark map I would probably always wear the headphones anyway just for peace of mind but for spark retard you should be able to get it to trigger pretty reliably. Everyone's setups are going to vary in terms of when they see knock but it should occur around the same RPM/load every time for a given setup(unless you are loading the engine differently every time you drive for some reason). As long as you can, at least, get it dialed in for the area you're expecting knock to occur you should be in good shape and different levels for different RPM ranges shouldn't really be needed. I have a feeling that if the sensor placement is good you won't have to worry much about background noise though. At least that's my theory.

    The lilknockmeter is capable taking in an RPM input, but that function is not advised. I’m not sure what Leonard White (creator of lilknockmeter) has in mind when he made the RPM input so I can’t speak for him.

    Lilknockmeter send 0-5v analogue signal to MS as soon as lilknockmeter is turned on, and I can program MS to look for certain voltage at a given RPM.

    Currently, the lilknockmeter LEDs come on at ONE voltage that I set it in the software. 2.5V.

    I’m not using stock knock sensor location. Every other manufaltures seems to use the block close to the deck, so there is where I have my sensor. The lilknockmeter software let me select a frequency to focus on.

    Thanks for the insight on the stock sensor, the stock voltage is just something to start me with. Leonard suggested to rev the engine in natural with no load and see what noise the knock sensor will picked up, I did and here is the result.





    33.9% was the highest noise with no load.

    Then, set the knock threshold to be slightly higher than the highest point.

    I need to get more seat time with the headphone and do some 6-7psi pull to determine what noise level is acceptable. Then I can tune my knock table better.

    oh yeah, i forgot how far back the MS had the knock volts vs rpm table.

    looks like it may work decent when tuned in.

    yeah its been said, 5-10% above no load noise is reasonable to set for knock depending on power levels.

    Added a clutch switch for launch control/flat shift.

    Test fit revealed how easy it is to add the switch.

    Does antilag timing retard get activated with the clutch switch between shifts? Or only when staging at <x mph?
