i was just looking around for cheap knock sensors and i stumbled upon this great site
www.autospeed.com they have a lot of diy tech articals they also sell diy electronics kits
like http://store.autospeed.com/Items/144...uel%20Adjuster
http://store.autospeed.com/Items/144...njected%20Cars
http://store.autospeed.com/Items/144...t%20Controller
http://store.autospeed.com/Items/144...h%20with%20LCD
http://store.autospeed.com/Items/164...%20Alert%20Kit
they have much more than this. i like the fact that these kits you put together yourself
if your like me and dont trust the craftsmanship of other similar products you can be ***ured
the only reason it may not work right is your own fault for not following directions

When I will be buiding my own car...


Great find though. http://www.14point7.com/ is another good site to look at.

[boostpowered]

it seems14point7 only have 1 version of the egr/02 sensor too fancy for my tastes
im happy with leds rather than lcd plus all of the products in the forementioned site can all be linked together and even into a megasquirt system.


the only downfall is they are located in australia so it takes a little longer to get the products
shipping is not so bad since these are fairly light products

[Roto]

I like 14point7 since it's a little less of a hassle to put together and it makes a cheap datalogger.


edit: why would you megasquirt a trionic?

[boostpowered]

bosh lh jetronic i wish it was trionic !

[Roto]

Ahhh, yea. Convert if to T5 mey be?

[boostpowered]

nah im pretty happy with the jetronic my 5 year old is ***embling the knock sensor for a
science project so i hope its not too difficult . im guessing no more than 6 solder points on the
board
what are the major differences between t5 and jetronic ?what would i gain over the red apc i already have in and would it still work with it?

[Roto]

you won't need a knock sensor...

[boostpowered]

how does it control detonation?

[Roto]

The ignition cassette handles it. There's a weak current applied to the spark plugs that is measured by the ecu.
