Default hall effect for yb

I am looking at configuring my sync signal with hall effect sensor.
Similar to the one shown below, does anyone know where I can source the attachment for camshaft and the sensor, the sensor looks like escos item but I am not sure.

IF you are on OE management then a Hall sender will not work. Needs to be inductive (VR).


I do have a Hall sender on mine but not on factory ECU.

Its a motec aftermarket which supports both mag and hall effect, folloing Mark Sheads response on escos forum (I asked there too) I am using the mag. The option of grinding of one lobe of the distributor is still there too. Just depends on tuner he does not like the dizzy approach but I think he is confusing the the setup with some other setups and my dizzy has a bit of slop in bushes so not sure how much it costs to refurb hence the sensor approach.

I have not sighted a mount for hall effect in responses, if you know of one let me know please.

The hall is far more accurate from an electronic perspective, been there done that on a yb.
Hence now on a hall sender.

You will need to find a suitable sensor, i bought a generic Honeywell hall sender amd made an adapter to bolt it in.
Wiring is simply sensor 5v, sensor ground and a signal in.
Use the wrc cam trigger with one tooth.

Mark, I am retracing your steps to make the hall effect mount and source sensor. Can you advise where you sourced sensor or what it looked like / part number and what you did to make the adaptor please. It will at least let me know a way that works. I would like to finalise the order with xpower too. I just bought his bits , will modify for hall effect, keep his mag bits as backup.
