Well as you guys may remember I ran a 15.5 1/4 mile and was dynoing at 151 hp. I finally replaced the knock sensor and went to the dyno. 176.6 baby! Going to the 1/4 next week. If i ran a 15.5 with 20 less HP, couldnt I be in the mid 14's now?

 

You should definately be able to hit 14s with your mods and your newly found 20 horses. Good luck.

 

damn, loss of 20 hp because of a broken knock sensor... i should really get one now. Oh yea, I'm getting about 17 mpg with a broken knock sensor.. a little bit better than my friend's mustang gt.

 

yeah i had ordered one from these theif (who posted on this site actualy) and of course never got it. So out of desperation i just went to my nissan dealer and shelled out the 150 for it. Im so glad i did!

 

My knock sensor code came up and i have noticed a loss in mileage and performance....Where can i get the best price for a new knock sensor for my 95....I've heard that this might be a ghost code also and i was wondering how many of you have had the knock sensor code come up and replaced just the knock sensor and notice a re-gain in performance/gas mileage

 

MANY people have had the knock sensor code including myself. The people that changed theirs have posted nothing but good things including significant performance increases. Mine should be here Friday Cheapest place I know of is Nissan of Scottsdale. Mention your a Maxima.Org member and receive 25% off! I buy all my parts through them. Their information is in the links section.

 

Wow...20hp Did you replace it because you had a CEL or just for the heck of it?

 

usually no cel...but a code is stored in the computer if you check it manually.....i changed mine too....best move ever....just seems a little quicker revving, and gas mileage is great again

 

I changed it because I ran a 15.5 and dynoed at 150 HP. I KNEW somthing was wrong, and the KS was the easist fix, and i was right!

 

I thought I had KS probs but Ive started running 91 octane and since my car has picked it up big time! That 87 just wasnt cutting it even at 5000 feet. So 91 it is for me now!
