Easiest Crank Sensor for 944
The current computer (DME / ECU / EMS) in your Porsche has its limitations. They break down and repair is not always possible. When boosting a 944 Turbo, it is wise to use a new programmable ECU.
A good solution then is to use an aftermarket programmable ECU such as Megasquirt, VEMS, KMS, MSD, MaxxECU, or one of the many others.
The main signal for these programmable ECUs is the BDP (or VR) sensor (crankshaft position sensor).
Because the Porsche 944 is originally equipped with a dual BDP (VR) sensor, this is a tricky setup for many systems to get working. Often a so-called Audi trigger method is used with the camshaft sensor as input. However, this does have drawbacks.
We looked at what is available on the market and decided that this can be done better and cheaper. The result is the best, simplest and cheapest solution for mounting a VR sensor with 36-2 triggerwheel on a 944.
The best way to mount a crankshaft position sensor.
This kit is suitable for mounting a crankshaft sensor for Porsche 924S, 944, 951 (Turbo) engine blocks. And is a "must have" if a programmable ECU is chosen. This ready-to-use kit allows you to mount the sensor on your engine block. Included in the kit are the sensor, sensor bracket and trigger wheel.
New option:
We have designed a new pulley that is stronger, lighter and more beautiful. Of course, our newly designed trigger wheel fits perfectly. The new trigger wheel is electronically recessed so it will last extra long. Please note that if this option is not selected, the pulley is not included with the rest of the set.
Features:
- Cheapest solution on the market
- Very solid mounting of the sensor
- Made of black anodized aluminum
- Nylon 3D printed sensor holder
- Included VR sensor
- Suitable for cars with and without air conditioning
- Suitable for the 924S, 944
Description:
The sensor support is mounted on the crankcase. The construction of this plate makes it very rigid and the mounting very solid. This provides a very solid base and the sensor does not have to be disassembled when replacing the v-belts.
After 4 trial versions, we had a perfectly mountable bracket.
The sensor bracket is made of anodized aluminum with a 3D printed Nylon holder to which the sensor can be attached. This holder is very strong and the sensor can be adjusted in the holder on the triggerwheel.
The triggerwheel neatly disappears behind the distribution covers and is thus well protected from dirt.
To mount this, it must be fastened to the pulley with 4 small welds. This does not require disassembly of the timing belt. With only a small hole of 10 mm in the cap then the sensor can be mounted in position. The triggerwheel included in the kit has a 36-2 ratio which is the standard for modern programmable ECUs.
This kit is suitable for vehicles with and without air conditioning unlike other kits!
The kit also includes extra long bolts to secure the sensor to the crankcase.
