I just recently installed autronic. went from stock Ecu to driving around on autronic in literally 30 mins. the system is easy to use and the only tuneing i have done prior to this is V-AFC's from my honda days.

Its a pretty nice ignition setup but overkill imo for most people's uses especially on a vehicle with a pretty decent ignition setup right out of the box.

I actually got to see one of the older smc units in action two nights ago, and it seems very simple to use. I'm switching to the new sm4 autronic box, in about 6 weeks. Can't wait.

Okay, i've had an autronic for about 3 months now, and it's definely a good emanage system. anyway, as most of you know it doesn't come with a KNOCK SENSOR. so i was wondering what you guys were doing about knock detection. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions as to what i should get to detect knock.
thanks
thanks

we do nothing about it. just get a good wideband. I suggest PLX. dont go over 20 deg. timeing at WOT (I run 18), 20 psi on pumpgas, and keep the AFR in the 11's and you wont have a problem.

It's called ECUplus (or ECU+)
The version 2 is coming out at the end of July. You should check out the features. Knock Sensors, Analog inputs, O2 sim, ignition timing, fueling, Idling Stablizer, the works.
Dan at MachV is going to have the first 4 units but I think they may be spoken for.
I got Dynoflash because of the neccessity and Al made me tons of power (Thanks AL
. But I still want to enventually tune the car myself and this ECU+ unit is hard to match with any other system avail on the market.
