Strangely enough, I think I found the answer and it's ls/vtec after all. I wanted to make use of the pr3 I had *JUST* bought for the project, but the knock sensor thing irked me. Maybe there's an easy spot to insert a knock sensor on the b18a block that I'm unaware of, but.. regardless, the answer for me is simple: pgmfi.org. I can use BRE to disable the knock sensor in vtec ecu's once i'm set up with a zif socket in it and have a rom burner. piece of cake! Thanks.
