are the N/A & turbo KS's the same? I know that the N/A uses only one while the turbo uses two, but are they interchangable?
knock sensors...

Yes.
I took my N/A knock sensor and used it for 1 of the 2 required KS in my 7MGTE. Works fine as far as I know.
No codes ::knocks on wood::

where is the N/A sensor located on a 90 if that makes a difference. Is it only infront under the alternator or is it somewhere else?
On my 87 N/A it was underneath the intake manifold right about in the middle.
Your 90 might have two, but it was my understanding that only the turbo's had to KS's.

heh, rodknock wont give you a code 52. code 52 is only if the sensor is bad, or if the wires are shorted out.
when the sensors detect knock, they retard the timing, and enrichen the fuel mixture. yet another failsafe designed by toyota.
and to answer the previous two questions, all N/A's have one knock sensor located in the middle of the block, under the intake manifold, and all turbo models have two knock sensors, one near the starter, and one in the front of the block.

My bad. Damn I'm Batting a thousand today. I worked on a friends N/A and it had two? Guess he had a turbo block. Wierd.

either it was a turbo block, or (dont take this wrong, as i'm not being a dick) you dont know what knock sensors look like. (again, dont take that wrong, i'm not questioning your intelligence!!!) :icon_bigg
i demand pics!!!

It's cool. No offence taken. :bigthumb:
I'm pretty sure I know what the knock sensor are, seeing as I’ve done the KS rewire twice on two different turbo cars. Plus I have two Knock Sensors sitting in a Ziploc bag out in storage.
Here is the knock sensors on my block(a 7MGTE to avoid confusion). Don't have a pic of his.
I don't know what was up with my friends car. He lives in denver and bought the car with a bad starter. It had a dead spot in it. So I helped him replace it and I seem to remember two knock sensors. It was a 1987 N/A. I don't know what was up. I had to head back to Craig before we got the chance to start it. So maybe it didn't even run? Don't know.

sweet. i'm always worried that i'm going to come off sounding like a dick. :drink1: i'm willing to bet he has a turbo block then, because all N/A's came with only one KS. i wonder if he has turbo pistons too... lower compression etc... you now have me curious haha.
