Vertigo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi guys. Ever since I bought my Megasquirt, Ive had issues straitening the ignition system out, which is a stock dizzy. Im feeding it the 4 tooth sensor signal, with 5 degrees of trigger angle, and it seems to work most of the time, but every so often it spazzes out completely, and sometimes doesnt start up. I have a coil on plug setup ready to go, but its using a CAS withe VR sensors (with one tooth ground off, so its 24-1). Im tired of the headaches that come with VR sensors, and have yet to start up with the COPs, and would rather have a hall sensor instead. Can anyone recommend a sensor that would be ideal for this task? It would need to sit inside the CAS in place of the VR sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 you'll probably struggle find a hall that will fit in the place of the vr sensors. there isnt alot of room in there. only time ive had the stock vr triggers work well with ms is with a zeal daughter board. but that was along time ago. haven't used ms since. if you dont want to go the usual trigger wheel on crank pulley. can try what i done, hall sensors on the cam pulley 36-1 . look in my hilux project thread for more info . prob a few pages back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Oh wow, what a great idea - using the cam wheel teeth themselves! With another for cylinder ID. I love how its recessed behind the plate. Im not using the cam plate right now, but I may if this is a good option. Thanks! Where did you source your hall effect sensors from?

kpr Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Shouldn't be too hard to mount the single tooth one without the backing plate. i retained all the covers on mine just to keep the mud and crap out. These are the ones i used. have had zero issues since installed them. timing doesnt jump around at all when checking with timing light. unlike stock triggers https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/hall-effect-sensors/3076224/?searchTerm=307+6224&relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E525353746F636B4E756D626572266C753D656E266D6D3D6D61746368616C6C26706D3D5E285C647B362C377D5B4161426250705D297C285C647B337D5B5C732D2F255C2E2C5D5C647B332C347D5B4161426250705D3F292426706F3D3126736E3D592673743D52535F53544F434B5F4E554D4245522677633D4E4F4E45267573743D3330372036323234267374613D3330373632323426 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtrail Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Have you made sure the polarity of the reluctor is correct? If you have it backwards you will encounter many headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
