Guest |187| Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I will be running a hall effect sensor triggered by magnets in my cam gear and I'm trying to find out how the Vipec wants the magnet orientation? I haven't set the magnets in my gear yet so I'm trying to find some info on it to make sure I do it correctly. Any info on this would be great. Also in the Vipec help software I can find the pin outs but not a wiring schematic does one exist? Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave-Kriedeman Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Schematics can be found on the ViPEC home page. Look down the left hand side at TECH HELP, click on Technical Data. All will be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Matt, For your cam trigger setup, I would need more information. How many cylinder is the engine. Are you using a distributor or multi coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |187| Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm looking for the proper number of magnets and positioning of the magnets in relation to the hall sensor. Im running a 4 cylinder with no distributor I will be mounting a hall effect sensor on the exhaust cam gear with rare earth magnets potted into the gear. My plan for now is to run Yamaha R6 coils if they hold up to the power ~700hp and a M&W pro14 cdi. I will not have a crank sensor it will only be the hall sensor.

rayhall Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Matt, To run the engine multi coil, wasted spark, the Vipec will need four signals for every camshaft revolution. No sync signal would be needed. If you want sequential, then you will need the four signals, plus a sync signal. I do not have a lot of confidence in that method of getting a trigger signal.

Guest |187| Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Do you not like that method because of possible fluctuation of the timing due to the timing belt? I might be able to run some sort of crank trigger. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I remember people having trigger problems with another make ECU and this setup. You can always try it, and change later if you have problems. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
