    WTB: 8v Knock sensor setup

    05-22-2012 04:28 PM #1
    Looking for a knock sensor setup for my 3A swap. I am located in Central PA if anyone has one local, I can pickup. If not, price with shipping?

    You don't want one from a 16V. 3A is an 8V engine. You want one from an HT, RD or PF engine or maybe others.
    Classified forum rules require that you post a price. If you don't know what to ask, they suggest that you search past FS threads.

    So, when your item sells, please don't edit out your price and description when you mark it "SOLD". Rather, edit to show selling price.

    Have all of the needed parts.

    They all work, I never thought of one from an 8vit but those work too. The old Tberk wiring diagram is from a 16v that I have. Makes it easier for me to just wire rather then having to figure it out.

    And the one that the guy used on the sirocco page was from a 16v as well. 7.70 a gallon for 100 octane is getting a little pricey.

    The control box and the sensors themselves are the same and will work but you'll still need a knock sensor 8V distributor and the 16V wiring runs to a different place. Why not make it easy and get it from a car that has everything that you need?

    Now I get what you are saying the wires will be a better length, for the setup.

    So who has an 8v setup they would like to part with?
