THE NEXT GENERATION
SOME CALL IT OBSESSION.
WE CALL IT R&D.
(it's probably obsession)
After 2 years of relentless development & testing, the Knock Detective Gen 2 is finally here. It delivers some amazing improvements over our original audio knock detection guage. Here's a quick overview of what it can do:
KNOCK DETECTION
Remains sensitive to knock while ignoring other engine noise. The bright warning lights can save your engine from destruction.
VALUE FOR MONEY
We dreamt of a gauge that was affordable enough to stay in the car, not at the dyno.
We delivered.
ADJUSTMENTS & LOGGING
Adjustable sensitivity & output volume,
0-5V output for data-logging
and 2 knock sensor inputs.
WITH ALL ENGINES
Completely redesigned knock detection
that works regardless of cylinder bore size
or engine configuration.
GEN 2
IMPROVEMENTS
How does the new Knock Detective Gen 2 compare to our original Knock Detective?
SMARTER
Totally redesigned knock detection circuitry that ignores increases in RPM while staying sensitive to knock regardless of bore size.
CRISPER
Status LED that shows when the gauge is powered, and when it is disabled.
CLEARER
Lights stay lit up for 5 seconds after a large knock event occurs so you don’t miss any knock.
QUICKER
Connectors on the gauge and on the sensors, allowing much quicker and cleaner installation.
MORE FLEXIBLE
A “disable” feature that allows you to use your ECU to tell the gauge when to listen for knock, and when to ignore it. No more lighting up the lights on your hard cut limiter.
BRIGHTER
Better looking faceplate that also makes it easier to see the lights in direct sunlight.
SIMPLER
Input gain can be selected with a dedicated wire instead of wiring the sensors in specific ways.
TOUGHER
Slimmer bezel and stronger housing.
EACH & EVERY KNOCK DETECTIVE IS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Knock Detective is an easy-to-use audio knock detection device stuffed into a 52mm gauge.
After bolting the included knock sensor(s) to your engine and connecting the Knock Detective, you can plug in headphones and listen for knock events while tuning. The device also features a bright LED display with configurable sensitivity to alert the user of engine-damaging knock events. The user can also connect the 0-5V output to an analog input on their ECU and use it to datalog the knock levels, which can really help nail down your ignition tuning.

Knock Detective Gen 1
"Not only is this an audio knock detection with a sensitivity dial but this can be wired into your standalone ECU to adjust the parameters and compensation if it does detect knock."
