Hello,

I think I answered your knock control question earlier via email.

As for the Map sensor question I assume you have a GTR plugin ECU?  There are some suggestions in the help file and manual:

Yes I did get email thanks 

can I not use my original knock sensors to controll knock on a rb26 or do I need a external knock controll sensor thanks

You old G4 Storm based plugin ECU doesnt have any knock control hardware fitted.  Back in the day when that ECU was current we used to sell a device called "G4 Knockblock" which could interface with the ecu and allow knock control.  The G4 Knockblock has been obsolete for a number of years so your only chance would be to find one secondhand or perhaps there may be a dealer with old stock but I havent heard of any on the market for a long time.

The G4 knockblock was also a relatively expensive item so it may not work out much different to sell your present ecu secondhand and upgrade to the G4+ plugin which has knock control built in.

My ecu isn't a G4 storm it's a G4 only does this make any difference

Most of the G4 Plugin ECU's were based on the Storm hardware.  The Storm was a budget ECU without knock control.
