SAFCII Knock meter

Hi, Can anyone confirm that the knock meter on the SAFCII works with the KA? I was considering buying the MSD Knock Alert, but now I find out about the Apexi. Does it have programmable alerts, and/or gain adjustments?

Thanks!-Jamie

fromw hat i have talked to poeple about its not accurate at all. the knock it reads will go up as the engine warms up. and its also very hard to relate to it

I don't even pay attention to the knock meter. I focus on the wideband instead. Nick

A wideband is good but not a total fix, a thermostat can cause you to detonate. Running to much timing retard can cause really high EGT's and lead to detonation. So a knock meter is a really good thing to have.

i still have to play around with that setting more, but you have to calibrate it before its of any use. you let it warm up and then rev to 3 different rpm's and set it. you can also program the warning to come on at a certain knock level. not sure how accurate it is though....

Sorry for the late response - I still expect automated emails from the old NICO system. Anyways, thanks for the replies. It's cool that the Apexi does indeed sport this feature, too bad it isn't better[than what I'v heard]. Sounds like a 'glam' feature, but I'll look into this possible calibration anyways. money money money...argh... I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks!-Jamie
