Noz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 can someone please tell me where the TT cam sensor is please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 there are 2 on the intake side of the head one about half way and the other about 3 inches from the back of the head but still on the side they are level with the cam covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 whilst on the topic, is it usual to have oil in the CPS? both of mine had oil in them, cleaned them up, checked a couple of days later(car hasn't been started, it's stripped on stands) and there is oil in them again, is this a case of oil tracing it's way up the wiring from somewhere? no other plugs show traces of oil.

Chris Wilson Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Far easier to trigger off a cam wheel with a Bosch Hall effect sensor, no welding, no real dismantling. Use the TT oil pump and crank trigger sensor and star wheel, or if you can do fabrication mount an aftermarket sensor triggerring off the flywheel or a toothed wheel on the nose of the crank. Obviously you need an aftermarket ecu for the above. This is what I did with my RB26 when I got rid of the cam driven optical sensor assembly. - - - Updated - - - whilst on the topic, is it usual to have oil in the CPS? both of mine had oil in them, cleaned them up, checked a couple of days later(car hasn't been started, it's stripped on stands) and there is oil in them again, is this a case of oil tracing it's way up the wiring from somewhere? no other plugs show traces of oil. I would say it's not at all normal, I have never seen this, maybe a sensor O ring is leaking oil and it's getting into the connector?

Noz Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 So using an oil pump from the TT gives the crank position, I need a new cambelt soon anyway. Can a star gear not be placed on the NA pump? But how can I mount a hall sensor without welding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That's a rocky road, there are several little yet expensive differences down there. Simpler to install a sensor wheel to the crank pulley and fit another sensor into the exhaust cam gear. I've been searching a thread that shows how it's done, but can't find where I found it.

Lee P Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The NA oil pump doesn't have the position in the casting for the crank sensor to go in. You will need a TT pump if you want to ue the Toyota crank sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpler to install a sensor wheel to the crank pulley and fit another sensor into the exhaust cam gear. I've been searching a thread that shows how it's done, but can't find where I found it. No point in using the exhaust cam. I want to run different cams at some point. Coils and NA cams aren't what I'm only after mate. I've seen you can run the stock sensor otherwise with coils. The NA oil pump doesn't have the position in the casting for the crank sensor to go in. You will need a TT pump if you want to ue the Toyota crank sensor So if I'm replacing the exhaust cam sensor with a hall effect sensor, then what current sensor am I replacing when using a TT oil pump out of interest? Or is it the fact I don't have enough sensors in the first place. Hope the TT oil pumps aren't too expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) No point in using the exhaust cam. I want to run different cams at some point. Coils and NA cams aren't what I'm only after mate. I've seen you can run the stock sensor otherwise with coils. I said exhaust-cam gear, with a sensor in the pulley you could use any of the T.T. cams. Wake up Noz.
