Knock/Lean Warning system?

[fulanititoo8198]

I'm pushing the upper limits of my stock Coyote and would feel much better if I had a simple buzzer to alert me. Such as an audible tone for knock lets say over 2 deg. and same with Air fuel. You guys have any safe guards like this? I am thinking of using the Aeroforce Gauge and wiring a relay to a buzzer but I am hoping there is something better out there.

This is a great idea. Does Autometer make an A/F gauge in the Elite series? You could have the light color change at high and low levels.

Something audible would be a nice idea.

the J&S vampire setup will listen for knock and pull timing automatically

I just feel like by the time the thing goes off, you recognize it and actually get your foot off the gas a lot of damage can already be done

We had something like that in the Evo world with TEPhra mods using ECU flash where it would flash the check engine light so many times for if you were getting knock. It was a tuned parameter in the ECU. It may not be possible in the copperhead ecu for the coyote motor though. Maybe a tuner will chime in.

If it's pulling timing accordingly then getting your foot off the gas doesn't have to be immediate. Mount the gauge somewhere that you can see it
