MS3X with KnocksenseMS

[shwagondawheels]

Sorry it's been a long time since I've posted anything on here.

I'm looking to purchase a MS3X/V3.57 ECU and I would like to use it with my KnocksenseMS module with it that I am currently am using as a standalone knock indication light along with my factory management system. For anyone that is not familiar with the KnocksenseMS here is a link http://www.viatrack.ca/

Here is a link to the installation documents for use with the MS1 or 2 V3.0 boards http://www.viatrack.ca/KnockMS/KnockMS.PDF

What I am trying to figure out is if there is way I can use this system to the MS3 daughter board without the use of the internal knock module https://www.diyautotune.com/product/ms3 ... odule-kit/ being the KnocksenseMS is its own knock module or will I just wire it to the main board as stated below?

I'm guessing from what I've read in the MS3X/V3.57 manual I would just do the same thing as the KnocksenseMS instructions suggest on the V3.0 main board and run the logic signal for timing retard wire from the KnocksenseMS module to JS4 or JS5 on the V3.57 board.

Thanks for the help guys!!!

If you aren't looking for knock in a window from TDC to a few degrees after you have an engine noise monitor not a detonation monitor.

Never thought about it like that. Very good point to help understand how a knock system should work.

Did you ever get yours working with the MS3X 3.57? Trying to figure out if I can connect PT4 or another input to the Tim pin on the KnocksenseMS without any extra circuits.

If you aren't looking for knock in a window from TDC to a few degrees after you have an engine noise monitor not a detonation monitor.

And even if you are only looking in that window, aggressive suspensions, hard durometer power train mounts, and other performance upgrades tend to mask actual knock.
