    Started doing an oil change on Sunday, which turned into pulling the lower plenum to install a 2nd det sensor for the knock lite I recently acquired - planning to install between cylinders 3/4 in the valley.

    Does this hole need to be drilled and tapped? Or is there an existing hole there?
    If it does need drilling - anything I need to know before doing it in car? I'm guessing it should be pretty safe as long as I don't drill any deeper than the stock det sensor location?

    pretty straight forward .

    drill and tap ..copy the original in depth etc

    with heads on shouldn't have any probs with metal shavings

    Did my previous engine before machining when I ran the GTR Power FC

    Cheers - about what I thought then. Time to get the lower plenum of and size up the drill and tap

    Pulled the lower plenum off - to find a M12 x 1.25 tapped hole there? Not sure why as I would put money on it that the lower plenum hadn't been off this car before..... Checked my old motor - and had the expected blank casting there...

    Anyway - long story short, picked up a thread adaptor from M12 x 1.25 to M8 x 1.25 - now to start reassembly!
