However Honda did spend a good chunk of money to put a knock Sensor on all Vtec B-Blocks. I am sure they put it in there for a Reason.

- Sat Mar 29, 2008 10:46 pm #48261 just have your ecu chipped, you'll be alright.

- Sun Mar 30, 2008 2:50 am #48289 well well well... chipped p28 is the way to go. plus if you bring ti to a programmer, they can chip it to the specs.. with what you have done and how you wanna run the engine. remember... only USDM vtec motors came with them for emissions purposes only... JDm motors dont have knock sensors... which means... to hell with it!
