I picked up a b35 60-2 wheel at the p&p, but no sensor

Post by bimmerboy »

There were no sensors to be found from either of the 2 b35s. Since I have the b35 wheel, will a sensor from an m20 work? Or are both the wheel and sensor different?

Oh and this would be for my MS1 setup

Can MS I use a digital output hall effect sensor? If so you can use a Honeywell 1GT101DC. They're about $25. Standard BMW sensors are analog output. Digital output are more precise. I don't know if MS will read it . I came across it while doing research for my Haltech. The Haltech doesn't much care for the analog signal.

Not suggesting you need to go this route I was just kind of curious myself and thought I would share a little info as well.

Yes it should work fine.

So, what about the digital sensor? I will be converting to megasquirt soon and am curious.

I've never tried it. As long as it can handle the frequency, it should work fine. Some are cam sensors and may not handle 60 teeth at 6000 rpm.

If you use the VR input, you'll probably need a pullup resistor to +12V to make it work. Similar to hall distributors (read MS1 Extra manual)
