List of sensors
Turbo Mini Forums

Is there a list of sensors and part numbers people are using anywhere?

for what tpye ?

1293 Turbo mini

Not with part numbers.

Have you read the build guide?

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Read all the guides (I've found)

So far I'm using

CPS I'm using Ford VR
TPS Rover T16
Water Temp Rover T16
MAP (megasquirt built in)
ACT Rover T16

Cam sensor yet undecided, I have a T16 item from a 220 but not sure it its suitable. I could mahine the cam like a MPi to use it if its suitable

PWM from either Saab or Ford for ISCV

Just instrested in what other have used succesfully

Crank - standard Ford VR pickup
Cam - home made, cut down dizzy with an optoswitch and aluminium disc with a simple slot in it. For home made a Hall switch is probably easier than an opto switch but I like to keep everything at 5V

TPS - a Lucas one that was standard fittment on the Rover 800 throttle body that I'm using. Doesn't really matter so long as you know which way round the three wires are, they are just a potentiometer fed with 5V and ground and thus a 0-5V signal out.

MAP - Megasquirt built in, but they use a very common sensor which has lots of other applications.

CTS (water) and IAT (inlet air) are the more important ones.
Unless you are going to buy the GM sensors (which Megasquirt defaults to) you need to know the calibration tables for whichever you choose so you can programme the ECU to match their temperature/resistance curves.
I use the Cossie ones because their calibration tables are well known and the non-genuine ones are very readily available and a lot cheaper than the Lucas/Rover sensors.


EDIT - I should add that if you are going to be using Megasquirt and want a cam sensor (for sequential injection) then the normal MS2 build only has one VR input (used by the crank) and the cam sensor has to be "digital", ie, Hall or Opto. If you want to use some form of VR sensor for the cam (Like Rover MPI did) you have to add a second VR conditioner circuit or board to the MS2 - like the add-on boards Jean sells.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Sorry to be a dullard. But is it just a case of measuring temperature against resistance to be able to generate the callibration table?

I want to look at the IAT on the sprint using the MS, but would like to use the same sensor as I used on the TT.

You can always get a sensor from your local Bosch dealer.

The curves are published here:

Yep,

I use a bosch coolant one as they are everywhere, and the curve is published,

for IAT i use the green rover one as its fast response and the curve is on here somwhere.
