We can supply and fit knock detection kits to your vehicle. Keep an eye on what your engines doing and save it before it gets too late.

How does it work?
        The KS-4 monitors engine knock levels and can be configured to alert the driver via a visual, audable or external warning device. The KS-4 can be used as a hand-held device or permanently mounted to the dashboard. The KS-4 is configurable for frequencies between 6 and 9 kHz. The system includes high quality Bosch Wideband Knock Sensor, Sensor Plug, Shielded Signal Cable, Mounting Kit and Wiring loom.

Installation
    The KS-4 has been designed to be very quick to install. The KS-4 comes as a complete kit containing everything necessary for the installation. A high quality Bosch knock sensor is included and is linked to the main unit via a high quality shielded signal cable. Installation is very simple: Mount the sensor, connnect the signal cable and connect the power supply.     

What is Knock?
        Knocking or detonation occurs when unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber explodes instead of burning in a controlled manner. When engine knock is occuring the pressure in the combustion chamber rises dramatically to levels that can destroy engine components in a few seconds.
