Gizzmo Kmon - Professional Knock Sensor / Monitor Kit - G0001

The Gizzmo Kmon is a complete audio monitoring kit for accurate listening for engine knock. The Gizzmo Kmon will help take your tuning to the next level. The Kmon was designed with leading tuners for tuners with endless hours of dyno development as a major component in the research and development process. Each headphone can independently be configured via the software to listen to different knock sensors e.g. on a RB26DETT you could configure the left headphone to the front of the motor and the right headphone to the sensor on the rear of the motor or on the V8 one sensor could be used for the right bank and another for the left bank (please note that there Kmon comes with one sensor and sensor loom). There are two headphone jacks for the convenience of training a tuner or a second set of ears when tuning.

"This is by FAR the best tuning tool I have encountered to date especially @ $1100, after starting out with snap on chassis ears years ago for all my V8 carb jobiies. I have been searching for the ultimate KNOCK detection device for years and a decent detector can sometimes mean the differrence between life and death of an engine especially if a 1/3rd party fault occurs during a tuning or power run. The only other knock monitors worth a pinch of salt is the HKS one but it requires extensive modding to be truly effective and useful and the knock-box but quite simply i have never really liked using it and the K-mon seems to be far more easy to use and better at detecting knock."

Knock detection is critical when tuning for performance. Attempting to modify the fuel & timing parameters without monitoring for cylinder detonation & pre-ignition is asking for trouble, serious trouble. The Kmon Knock Monitoring system by Gizzmo Electronics is professional grade knock monitoring equipment. With the optional second channel kit, you can add knock sensors to additional parts of the engine to monitor front and rear or left and right banks, etc.. See G0002 for additional sensor kit.

About Gizzmo Electronics

Established in 1992 Gizzmo Electronics was originally a mobile performance auto electrical business. After a couple of years some smaller products were introduced and shortly after the first shiftlight/launch controller was introduced. Sales well exceeded expectations and before long Gizzmo soon became a product focused business. In early '03 Gizzmo shifted to a much larger premise and purchased a dyno. Towards the end of '03 Gizzmo broke into the Australian market and sales have more than doubled every year since. Late in '04 Gizzmo released its first boost controller called the IBC and again, sales well exceeded expectations.

Late in '04 Gizzmo released its first boost controller called the IBC and again, sales well exceeded expectations. In early '06 Gizzmo stopped all labour based work to solely focus on product development. In mid '06 the respected Apexi Integration USA took up distribution of Gizzmo products through America, Canada and South America and at the very end of '06 Gizzmo moved to Melbourne Australia. Gizzmo New Zealand still exists as a marketing/distribution office in New Zealand and has very close ties with Gizzmo Head Quarters in Melbourne, Australia.

The parent company of www.FlashTuner.com / Tuner Tools LLC is the official importer of the Gizzmo Electronics line for North America. Tuner Tools LLC offers a very competitive dealer program for retailers and tuning shops, specializing in support of the smaller, independent shops who are out there in the sport, tuning cars and who know where intelligent performance scores on the list of priorities.
