Sensor Information

Crank/Cam Sensor

This engines uses a Crank Position Sensor and a Cam Position Sensor

It has a 36-2 tooth crank trigger pattern as part of the crankshaft timing chain gear.  It has a 3x tooth cam trigger pattern on the flywheel end of the inlet camshaft.

The OEM Wiring loom as the Cam Sensor Negative shared with the Crank Sensor Negative.  If you are using the OEM wiring loom then the Haltech Trigger- and Home - Green wires should not be used.  Instead use the Blue Signal Ground wire and Enable the Trigger and Home Grounds in the software.




Trigger Configuration














Ignition Coils and Igniter

The ignition coils feature an internal igniter.  These can be wired directly to the ECU. The coils from this engine are commonly used for coil on plug conversions for other engines and are known as NZ coils.

MAP Sensor

These engines do not come with a MAP sensor.
Use the internal MAP sensor that comes with your ECU.  For higher boost levels an external MAP sensor should be used instead, connected to a spare AVI.









Variable Cams

These engines come with Toyota's VVT-i continuously variable cam control system.  it offers up to 60deg of inlet cam movement.









Idle Valve

DBW variants use the throttle body for Idle Control.
Cable throttle variants of this engine use a 3-pin (Bypass Air Control) Valve which is duty controlled by the ECU via 1x outputs. Even though it has 3-wires it should be configured as a 2-wire BAC.

Air Temp

An Air Temperature Sensor is incorporated in the MAF Sensor unit.  See the MAF section for wiring information.

MAF Sensor

This engine has a MAF for engine load calculation, and the MAF unit incorporates an Air Temperature Sensor.
Although most users of Haltech ECUs will be deleting the MAF, it is possible to use a MAF if you prefer.

O2 Sensors

These engines come with narrow band O2 sensor.  These are only useful for targeting Lambda 1.0 and cannot be used for engine tuning.


For correct operation a Haltech WB1 kit is highly recommended for this application, with the provided 4.9 sensors replacing the pre-cat sensors.  Sensors use a 22mm socket or spanner to remove and replace.









Vehicle Speed Sensor

This engine uses a Hall Effect / Reluctor Vehicle Speed sensor. The signal is connected to the OEM dashboard and this transmits Vehicle Speed over CAN to the ECU.  The sensor can be wired directly to your Haltech ECU.

Injector Data

Flow

The injector flow rate is measured with the injectors held wide open at 100% duty.  For fuel systems with a fixed regulator pressure (often returnless systems) that is not referenced to manifold pressure the flow needs to be mapped over Manifold Pressure for accurate tuning.



Dead Time

When an injector is commanded to open for a certain amount of time, the dead time is the amount of time the injector is not actually open during this period.  It covers the time to energise the solenoid and begin to open and the time to close as well.  There are also transient periods during which the injector is opening and closing where fuel flow is not at full capacity so this lost peak flow period is also taken into account.
