How many teeth on the VQ35's cam sensor gear?

[Fred_Allen_Burge]

Hello,
Has anyone looked at the trigger wheel that the VQ35's cam sensor reads off of? I guess it's used for the variable timing but I just need to know how many teeth it has and if it has any "missing teeth" such as 6 teeth with one tooth "missing" for a timing reference, etc. The sensor mounts on the back of the head.

Thanks,
allen

Well, I cant seem to find the amount of teeth on the gear at the moment, but I did find how it gets its signal - there are high and low teeth on the gear, and thats what makes the gap in the waveform to give cylinder identification. I will keep searching for a number of teeth

Thank you for looking. I checked the FSM but didn't see a picture of the signal wheel. I have access to a VQ35 core motor that I can look at, if all else fails I'll pop off the valve cover and take a look.

thanks,

Congrats on finding your info...

Question though... just for my curiosity and better understanding of our Zs... what does this information get you?... or be used for? FI?

I'm building a standalone computer for the VQ35DE and am researching ways to keep the stock ignition system. That would require a cam sensor and a crank sensor so I was trying to find out more on that cam sensor.

I also need the stock fuel and ignition maps if anyone has access to them http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/smile.gif

for the stock maps you may want to contact technosquare...i've seen a few posts on my350z about the VQ maps might want to check that too...

good luck, nice runners by the way http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/smile.gif
