Who is running a haltech with factory Cam Angle Sensor as trigger?

[Ghetto-Spec .:bayka:.]

Hey guys

I have a haltech e6a (yes its old) ready to go onto a 4age. The one thing holding me back is the trigger sensor (crank position).

Trigger sensor options
1. Use factory trigger (from 4age dizzy that meaures cam position)
2. Fabricate hall effect trigger sensor using toothed wheel etc

I have been advised that some ppl have got haltech's running using factory cam angle sensors (dizzy). Can anyone speak from experience on this?

I have also read that the E6A doesn't like reluctor signals (that come from dizzy on 7m's which i assume would be similar to 4a's) and that it prefers hall effect signals. I assume if this is the case it would be more complicated to go down the path of using existing dizzy signal (due to need for additional electronic equipment) and that I should bite the bullet and make a hall effect sensor.

I am looking for the most basic option.

Use the factory trigger. E6A fires perfectly on a 20-1 trigger.

i would of thought using the dizzy would be the simplest to set up as it wont need a home reference.I dont know about the e6a but the e6x work fine on the reluctor style on the 1uz.

Thanks guys, to clarify Takai -

you are saying that the factory 4age dizzy trigger can definately be used for a Haltech E6A ?

I know that the smallport 20-1 trigger can. Unsure on the 4 tooth of the bigport though.

I got my E8 to run on the factory 4 tooth magnetic reluctor from my 2TGEU (should be some tech questions on this forum about it somewhere). Had to use the Haltech RA-10 adapator to convert the signal from reluctor to hall effect. Was only able to run the ignition in batch mode though. I have since moved to the Haltech S3 hall effect set-up. Have photos if you like...

the legends at wtfauto have set the haltech ecu to run of the factory dizzy. on 3s's and 4a's

I use the bigport 4 tooth dizzy with the stock igniter. The igniter converts the VR signal into a 12v square wave signal (same as hall sensor) and my MS2 works with it perfectly fine.

Interesting that you guys got these things to work.

I've had nothing but trouble between haltech and the reluctor triggers. So much so that I've had custom work done to build hall effect sensors to piss the magnetic ones off all together.

agreed with strad, i couldn't get my 1G to work with the haltec at all with the STD dizzy.
Wouldn't even start...

I had to go to a custom hall effect setup that I purchased of Strad, worked straight away after I put that in..

Use the factory trigger. E6A fires perfectly on a 20-1 trigger.

Are you sure? I thought the E6K was the first to have the reluctor input..

I'm pretty sure you will need a custom trigger module, we built one for a mates car using the guts of a Camira dissy.

I have an E6X, but i thought Pete at Autotech said that all the E6 range had it from the A onwards.

[ta22 3tgte]

I don't know if it helps, but I run an E6A in my TA22 with 3TGTE, it runs the standard dizzy,
with a Haltech reluctor adapter to change the signal, seems to work fine. I am unsure what is in the dizzy though, someone else may know.

I'm using an E6X with the factory reluctor in an 18R-GEU distributor. I got it to work (eventually) but it's troublesome - occasionally the Haltech will decide the engine is spinning at 10,000+ rpm even though it's idling, resulting in a feature I call the "surprise keybanger". This is one of the reasons I've decided to switch to a crank-mounted sensor instead.
