What are the differences here? Are the parts different freqs? Are the wiring pins on the backside of it different?

I would assume the blocks knock the same freqs, its the same casting and all. Just want to know because I'm putting an '09 block in my '05. I'm pretty sure I could just use my '05 sensor and be good to go.

2000 - 2005 uses part number (30530-PCX-003)
2006 - 2009 uses part number (30530-PRC-003)

 

 

I live in Guatemala, Central America, the dealer only had CR-V's sensor, and thats what i´m using. Just hope that nothing gets ruined in the long run. Maybe someone can help with your question.

 

I believe they are different spec. 06+ is a DBW system and I believe there were a lot of sensor changes on this ECU change.

 

Well, I know '06-'09 is DBW. Are you saying that because the ECU changed they would change the sensor? Are you thinking freqs wise or just the wiring pins/connector?

That could be, but I'm thinking they have to be the same freqs... the short blocks are 99% the same. (difference is the crank position wheel)

Hell, if one is more sensitive, I'd like to run that one for added safty. DO I even need to care if I'll be running a stand alone?

 

brandon, use the knock sensor that matches what ecu your using. hell, if you have AEM alot of times the knock sensor is turned off..

 

Really Joe? Hell, was yours turned off? How will it be able to sense for knock if there is no sensor... *mind blown*

I will be running EMS v2 and e85 when I get the engine put in the car.

 

I think they both detect knock, no more and no less than a different model.

I believe, if memory serves me there are different sensors be it connection or spec with the DBW system. Don't quote me on this but I would strongly advise sticking with the one that goes with your ecu.

 

Knock sensors have different freq ranges they are sensitve to. If you were to take one from a another engine, like a big V8, it would not work because the V8 will knock at a different freq and has been tuned from the factory to display knock when it hears those certain freqs.

Alos, the stock ecu plays no factor here. I will be using an AEM EMS v2.

I'm putting an '06-'09 short block in an '05. The only thing I can think of that would really change is the pins connectors for the wiring harness. The sensors have to detect the same freqs...

 

The ap2 motor is unchanged 04-09. So I would not expect different frequencies for 'knock' to be triggered. The only logical explanation is the ECU.
