Default Gen IV knock sensors on Gen III?
my rear knock sensor went out a while back, so i disabled it. And just now the front knock sensor code came on. I really don't want both disabled, this is on a supercharged (2.3l Whipple) otherwise stock LQ4. Instead of spending 4 hours removing my Whipple can i bolt gen IV sensors on the block and buy a knock sensor relocation harness?

True, but the knock sensors can be installed in any M10x1.5 hole on side of block.

No pictures but there is plenty of locations, Just out one on each side of the block where you can.

You can use stock 99-06 knock sensors, buy a new knock sensor harness and extend the wires. Easy easy easy

I think this would be the better way to go about it. Plug & play. Aren't the Gen 4 knock sensors 2 wire? With different resistance values?
