There is an oem component that screws into the location perfectly, plugs right in to the wiring harness connector, and was designed specifically for this engine by engineers with Formula 1 backgrounds.

And you want to use something else that is generic instead? That has to be adapted to fit, and spliced in to the wiring. You somehow think this would be a better solution?

Well... the oem one gets a lot of noise from the engine. This one from bosch has a better noise filtering and a good mod if you are running a standalone.

God forbid someone in the last 2 decades created a better knock sensor.

If its one that fits the block and the wiring harness, great! If it has to be cobbled together, no thanks, not for me...
