Description
Link KnockBlock G4+ – Headphone based knock detection
Rather than a correctly timed and progressive increase in combustion chamber pressure during controlled combustion, knock, also known as detonation or “pinging”, refers to the spontaneous, uncontrolled combustion of an air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. Engine knock can cause severe engine damage within seconds. Therefore, detecting and preventing knock is a tuners top priority when tuning any petrol engine.
This Link KnockBlock G4+ kit allows the tuner to listen for engine knock through a set of headphones or earbuds while tuning. The tuner can then very quickly make the required changes to the tune (such as retarding ignition timing or reducing boost), before damage to the engine takes place.
