Engine swap: which knock sensor?

Featured Replies

I decided to let pass the Impreza of my previous post... which means now I need to take care of some of the stuff of my (wife's) Legacy :) From previous posts it looks like the knock sensor may need to be replaced (although there isn't a code for it), as well as the oxygen sensor and the spark plug wires.

 

The question at hand is the following: I swapped the EJ25D on my car with a '95 EJ22 from an Impreza, and it looks like the part numbers for the knock sensor are different (22060AA031 vs 22060AA061). Are the sensors different, or can they be exchanged without issue?

 

Thanks!

Added part numbers

Only difference is the plug, (1 pin vs 2 pin, even though only one pin is used) which can be swapped from one sensor to the other if needed. The sensor is the same otherwise.

Thank you people :)

 

I ended up buying one from Amazon (Beck Arnley, $44). There were some on ebay for $13 with free shipping, but I can only wonder how they manage to make them so cheap. I read some of the feedback on one of the sellers and a couple of the negative feedback were because of knock sensors falling apart when tightened, so I decided to spend a little more. We'll see how it goes.

 

Next in the list: spark plug wires (NGK) and oxygen sensor (the best deal I have found so far is NGK/NTN as well)... and then a long list after that :burnout:
