efi EFI-ers: An excellent deal on a Hall Effect cam/crank sensor

[Healey3000]

Hi,

 

I've been considering a GS101205 Hall sensor for the cam position sensor I'm working on and I saw today that Newark has a sale on it.  Typical pricing is around $24-$28 at the usual distributors but Newark has them for just over $10.  I bought two (you can never have enough Hall sensors :-))

 

These have a 150 C temperature rating and a 10 kHz bandwidth.  They are also more compact on the mounting flange dimension.  You do need a Delphi GT150.2 connector but I think I'll be able to find one at the junkyard (new ones are available too).  Link below: http://www.newark.com/zf-cherry/gs101205/gear-tooth-speed-sensor/dp/34P4220?ost=gs101205&selectedCategoryId=&categoryNameResp=All%2BCategories&iscrfnonsku=false

Thanks for the tip - I have one being delivered soon. I plan to use it for a Megasquirt VSS.

Been looking for a solution for non-EDIS. I'm very curious how this works out for you. Keep me posted!

My pleasure.  It should do well as a VSS sensor.

Hi,

 

Even if you don't use EDIS, the VR sensor from EDIS is pretty good.  With Tom's (02again) trigger pulley and mounting bracket, that VR unit bolts right into place.

Any updates on using this sensor?

what type of mounting bracket will you use?
