Most types of sensors are compatible with the
TECgt’s
sync pulse requirement. This would
include most Hall effect, flying magnet, and reluctor sensors. As long as the sensor outputs a rising voltage
to the
TECgt
between 180
o
and 6
o
before TDC compression for the number one cylinder, it should work
perfectly.
Terminal G23 on the ECU is used for cam sync inputs (as shown in
Figure A.4. 4
). If using a Hall
effect or other sensor type that is powered by +5Volts, be sure that the output signal from the sensor is
going into terminal G23. If using a magnetic sensor with a custom steel trigger wheel, we recommend
using our magnetic sensors. The red wire from the sensor should go to terminal G23. Keep in mind that
when adapting an OEM cam trigger setup to a
TECgt
, the wheel may need to be rotated to place the rising
edge in the appropriate degree window for the
TECgt
.
