Any aftermarket computer guys running a gen4 motor on gen 3 crank sensor?
I'm running an AEM EMS. But any of the MS, BS3, Holley etc systems should be able to do this?
AEM sent me a calibration for the 58x crank and 4t cam gear setup. It was brought to my attention that the sensors themselves may read the signal differently? Now I'm not sure if my gen3 crank sensor is capable of reading the 58x wheel? Can anyone verify this?
I thought it was just a basic hall effect sensor. Didn't know they were different.
Thanks

Crank it over and try it. I assume the ecu offers you some readout of what it is seeing ? Whether a simple tooth count or scope image ?
Or stick a scope on and test it
But the earlier crank sensor might be different because of the weird dual path wheel it originally looked at, whereas the 58x is a normal toothed wheel.

The AEM uses 12v. So I'm assuming the 5v sensor wouldn't' work correctly and the 12v sensor should still pick up the signal just fine.
I'm fresh out of a scope. A fluke multimeter is the extent of my electrical tooling.

All ecus accept 5v signals, that is the standard around the world. Just because the sensor is powered by 12v doesn't mean its output is 12v.
Certainly looking at logs from a Holley with 24x its signal received was 0-5v switched.
