Done a bit on this yesterday.
Its in for mapping this week and nothing like a good short deadline to get projects moving. Made a start trying to get a couple of jobs done that ive put off for ages. These are non essential/nice to have so doesnt really matter if completed or not but be nice.
Wheel speed. I need vss to work on driven wheels for boost by gear. Dont want to tap into abs, actually not sure if it works but no light on dash so whatever, leave it be..
Brainstorming last week on how to fit a hall sensor to read off abs ring and dug a spare hub out to mock up. There is 3 random holes on the 182 hubs for whatever reason, maybe they planned on fitting a s**t guard behind disc at one point. These look like holes full of rust but actually m6 threaded when you look closely. Chased the hole out with a tap, one l shaped bracket made and it looks like a goer.
Cleaned up the setop and transferred to the car.
Bit of wiring.
Ran the car up on axle stands. Did it read? Did it f**k😅 messed about with pullup settings no joy.
After a bit of digging id ordered the wrong sensor, this is supposed to be 2wire hall (i think its reluctor anyway) and requires a magnet installed to read off. Prob could make it work if i moved sensor/installed magnets.
Ive ordered a 3 wire hall sensor that doesnt need magnet and will read off ferrous toothed ring to replace. Not holding my breath as feel like abs ring may have too many teeth but we will see. The legwork is done now so its simply swap out sensor and fit new one adding a 12v supply wire.
One bonus is i got a shorter sensor so more clearance on rcl kit as the current one is tight. I done a bit of sniffing round and the recommended sensors are the cherry red ones at £80+ from most places. It turns out its just a bog standard zf hall sensor that Rs components sell for £30ish. So not too bothered if it doesnt work.
Took it out for a quick run as not moved in weeks. All good nothing to report.
