Particullary the locations under boost. This was important to do correctly to avoid engine damage. I decided to put together a set of knock ears witch is quite inexpensive and easily done these days. What you need for this setup first is a wideband knock sensor. These are easily found on 2000year and later engines, inexpensive from GM engines. You will also need the connector. The hard part of this setup is attaching it to the motor. The stock knock sensor location of the KLDE is best placement for a knock sensor however the stock knock sensor screws into the location, while the GM sensor is bolt on.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This will require a special stud to be made.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abdf885 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abdf885\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>What is required for Knock Ears:<\/h5><ul><li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/0JQXfKz\">Female Aux Connector<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/hocskIc\">Aux Extension Cord<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/7Bop73g\">Aux Amplifier<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/iaJztls\">Headphones<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/5roMqvZ\">Knock Sensor with Connector<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7c2529 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f7c2529\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1821\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxinput.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1091883 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1091883\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After your knock sensor is on the motor you will need to tap into it with an aux jack to utilize knock ears. You will need a 3.5mm 3 wire female aux connector to tap into knock sensor. I say &#8221; tap into &#8221; because on my setup I wired the knock sensor the MS3Pro Evo+ and I am splicing my knock ears into the sensor, they can be used at the same time on the same sensor. If your ECU does not have knock sensor capability you can simply wire knock ears only to it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next you will plug a long aux cord into the female jack, and route the opposite end to inside the car, then plug that end into an aux amplifier, out from the amplifier to headphones of your choice.<a href=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1819\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/auxin.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Your knock ears setup is complete.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-349e794 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"349e794\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">What are you listening for?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When you start your engine listening for the first time you will notice you hear the same sound of the engine, but as a mechanical mono sound. This is the normal sound, when you rev the engine its the same sound but now faster. What your listening for when it comes to knock is a change in this sound. Its described as rocks\/marbles in a glass jar being shaken. The best I can describe the difference is, think of tapping on a desk with your finger, a steady tap tap tap tap, thats your engine idling. Now revving or accelerating, the tap of one finger speed increases in taps, but the volume is still the same. As you enter boost it should be like this but if you hear scratching behind the taps that&#8217;s what&#8217;s considered pinging\/knock. The duration and speed of the scratching is the severity of the knock.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b54f31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b54f31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Here is the timing table I found safe on my engine so far:<a href=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1820 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/king6fab.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/timr.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-397f9c0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"397f9c0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past month I have been tuning the ignition table for my turbo Mx6.
