36-1 trigger wheel and sensor

[Chris Young]

hi,

On my 4agte with a 4agze is there any advantage running a 36-1 trigger wheel and sensor off the crankshaft? i was going to still run the CAS as a reset signal for the sequential ignition as i was advised by a friend to do so. 

What brand of sensor would you recommend to use with the link also? and can talk me through setting it up settings?

Hi chris  the std cas sensor runs fine on the 4age i do not see any advantage in running the cank trigger 

unless you are building a super high reving ing drag engine over 10,000 rpm

Okay, was looking at 9000 limiter cut with a estimated power output of 280kw ATW on 28 psi. As long as it will be accurate when I put it on the dyno, if the unit ever fails I will go down that path [it is more common due to heat soak as it sits 20mm above the turbo manifold]

just for reference what sensor should I use.

Hi Chris, 

Any automotive style of reluctor or hall sensor will work with the ECU.

If your going to stick with a VR style sensor I'd highly recommend the crank sensor off a 99 jaguar vanden plas. It has a very nice package size and is very well made.

 

If you plan on running a hall effect style sensor diyautotune.com has a very nice sensor for rather cheap along with a lot of very nice other quality crank sensor parts.
