4AGE crankshaft position sensor bracket V2.0

[@d4a]

I'm no longer making or selling any 4AGE brackets. I am willing to sell the design for an extremely reasonable price if someone wants to continue making them.

[@michaelhawkey8509]

how much for the designs?

[@d4a]

@@michaelhawkey8509 In the channel about section you can find my email and we can discuss.

Take as much time as you need! You are really on a good path. Thank you so much!!!

This is how a channel should be monetized! No begging on patreon rather making high quality components available for decent value!

Hello again friend! I plugged this video in every MR2 owners group I'm a member of since I know people have been looking for it and then you don't have to worry about plugging yourself. :) This is a pretty awesome bit of kit! Really love that you are doing this for the MR2 folks. As a future upgrade, you could consider machining a basic spacer to replace the lower square washer and washer combo, and then a few different lengths to remove some of the washers if people know their probable setup. They could always revert to washers if they need. Just a thought! Keep up the great work.

[@d4a]

You know I love you right? Thanks for saving me the time. Your proposal is sound my man. I can make some smaller spacers easily and including them in the package, will definitely look prettier than washers :) Just need to figure out the sizes.

[@802Garage]

Any time! Hahaha. Making a name for yourself out there. ;)

[@Nemoticon]

Love the work, looks fantastic. Can't wait for the up coming news of your next big D4A project!

[@fr1tz165]

Pleasently supprised by the more then reasonable price, was exspecting something along the lines if mrp's pricing. Ordering one soon

[@802Garage]

D4A understands that most of us are on a budget!

I'm a reasonable kind of guy :)

What is up Sam ma man!

AWESOME! I need one for my 4ac, ill be picking one up soon.

[@eurobeatmachinist732]

with that cnc you could also make triggerwheels😁

[@d4a]

I could, but several companies already make them. Do you need something custom and different than what's already on the market?

[@eurobeatmachinist732]

@@d4a no no no I dont need anything I'm a cnc machinist myself I was just giving out ideas😁 But if you'd sell your own triggerwheel and censor holder as a package it would attract more people I think😀 then you wouldn't need washers to shim it and it would be even more professional and cost effective for you and for customers😁

[@d4a]

@@eurobeatmachinist732 You do have a point, but the shimming is still important for the bracket to be usable on as many different setups as possible and the deal is that if I made trigger wheels than I have to make crank pulleys to, and that I can't make....yet :)

[@eurobeatmachinist732]

@@d4a thats true as well, I just tought that being able to sell as many parts as possible in one package would be best for those who are not so diy minded😀 All the best for you and your business😁

[@d4a]

@@eurobeatmachinist732 I just checked out your videos. That looks like a mighty fine lathe you have there :) Can you make crank pulleys on that? :)

[@DannyZiegler86]

Not here to bash, just curious, how much testing have you done with this bracket? I ask because I specifically swapped from the similarly designed MRP bracket to your previous version sensor bracket due to vibration issues with the MRP setup causing signal loss at specific RPM's (presumably due to engine harmonics at those speeds). The vibration was so bad it would wear a groove in the sensor and the car would ignition cut, even if I had it set to the maximum gap and everything torqued in place to max recommended spec. Since swapping to the much beefier V1 D4A bracket it has been flawless.

[@fr1tz165]

I've heard similar things about the mrp setup, but considering that this is a 100$ less then the mrp made version it probably would not cost you much to throw it on and test for the same issues.

[@d4a]

This is a very good question and something I have been thinking a lot about before releasing this. I have tested it on my engine at various rpm and have about an hour of footage of the gap with the engine running that I watched in slow motion to see whether there is any movement at all. There was none. I made the bracket and spacers extra thick and if you try to shake the bracket by hand it's possible to make it move a bit only with excessive and unreasonable force and using some sort of leverage. Of course that is the case on my engine. There are of course thousands of engines out there, in different condition and with different sensor and trigger wheel setups and that will be the real test. As long as it's installed and used right I am confident this bracket should work well. But if the feedback from users is negative I will refund and redesign. If it's still no good I will pull it back from the market of course. The v1 bracket will also get a minor redesign and will be sold again as soon as I find the time.

[@DannyZiegler86]

@@d4a good to hear, since I'm interested in an AC compatible bracket for another build I'm doing. I appreciate the detailed response!

[@d4a]

No problem. Let me know when you are ready to order. I would love some detailed feedback on the bracket when on an AC setup.

[@shah7914]

Bottom ? I prefer from the side.sometime we drive on the road maybe we hit stone can make that bracket or sensor broken

[@CKe70]

The nuts included should be self locking, otherwise they will get loose with engine vibration. ;)

[@d4a]

They are. The one in the video is a regular one I had laying around and I used it for showcase purposes only.

[@djcomeup]

I have a 83 Corolla wagon I’m trying to run a standalone what would I need to set up a crank sensor

[@edwardingida7470]

I have a stock 4age 20v silvertop. Does it have a crankshaft position sensor and if so, where is it located? My vehicle has intermittent dropping of revs by itself and I suspect this is the issue

[@michaelhawkey8509]

Ever considered attempting to make a similar item for a cam angle sensor?

[@OmgATessybear]

Quick question about this: Since the sensor is on the outside would the elements have any effect on the sensor? (ie: water, mud, salt, etc.) New to the car building scene and I'd like to convert my 4age for Coil On Pack using crank trigger sensor so this seems like the best route when youre trying to make the bay look clean

[@d4a]

The sensor isn't affected by the elements. It's basically a plastic cylinder with a magnet inside it. Water, salt, ice etc can't affect its ability to read trigger wheel teeth and send a signal to the ECU. So unless you drive through a field of ferrous metal shavings you will be ok :)

[@Electronica27]

just wondering, anyone know if these are for sale anywhere still?

[@thedonace213]

Did you have to use the T3 adapter to install the trigger wheel? I didn’t order one, so I’m wondering if you used it. It seems like I can still bolt it to the front without the adapter.

[@d4a]

I didn't, made little spacers myself. You can't bolt it on without some sort of adapters or spacer, it will fall off after a while.

[@thedonace213]

@@d4a nice! don't really want to pay $95 for one lol. do you have any pics of your spacer? does it have threads in it? did you need longer bolts?

[@Videoswithsoarin]

whys nobody make these? T3 makes the trigger wheel and crank pulley. only MRP seems to have the sensor bracket but its wayyyyyy too expensive for what it is

[@lockjawjak]

I know a guy who had this style of trigger wheel sensor mount and had problems with vibrations causing the sensor to contact the wheel. Is there a chance you can still keep making the old style for those that do not ever want to run A/C? The old design does not suffer from the vibration issues that this one might (friend had to add a diagonal leg glued to the sump to stop the vibration issues)

[@d4a]

Old style is still available. Check out the shop section of my site driving4answers.com. That being said I have sold a few dozen of these and no one has had any vibration issues yet. I made this thing super thick and beefy to be sure there will be no vibration issues whatsoever.

[@lockjawjak]

@@d4a oh awesome I only ever looked on ebay as your shop site never seemed to work for me. The guy who had the issue was running it on a 480whp 4agte track car so probably had a lot of vibrations and he was using a kit they have since changed to avoid this. Because the mounting bolts are all in a line with the sensor hanging out so far it definitely needs to be bolted down hard. Glad to hear your v2 isn't suffering the same issues :)

[@leonnaidoo1207]

Are these brackets still available? the links posted no longer work. 4age dual row with aircon and powersteering

[@d4a]

Unfortunately no, I stopped making or selling them.

[@SimonTrent8000]

Make the square washer thicker.

[@d4a]

I will likely make a little update on the next batch of brackets and one of the square washers will be one piece together with a spacer which will eliminate any chance of bending. I made it this thickness because two standard round washers fit perfectly between the two square ones and that prevents bending. It's all in the instructions, but a one piece square washer will still be nicer and prettier.

[@ranjodhmatharoo]

Will this work with mrp oil sump

[@SimonTrent8000]

Building a 7a. Know if your backet work for 7a block? Or does this mount onto the 4a oil pump?

[@SimonTrent8000]

Nevermind should have watched the whole video before asking lol.

[@d4a]

No problem. What's your oil sump and pump setup?

[@SimonTrent8000]

I belive you use a 4a pump with the 2 piece 7a sump.

[@SimonTrent8000]

Ive only just got the 7a tore down

[@d4a]

There's different options. You can use a 4a oil sump if you use the spacer from MRP. Are you going to run AC?
