Need help with cam sensors in STI swap

youpers · 07-14-2012, 12:52 PM

I swaped a 06 STI into my older LGT, which I use to have an older V7 STI installed in. The problem I am coming up against is that the cam sensors on the new heads have a three wire connection, whereas my harness has plugs for two wire cam sensors. The good news is that I have a Hydra ECU, so I could add new plugs in the harness for the new cam sensors.
Does anyone know if this is possible or how to wire it... Or if I should just get the Cosworth cam sensor brackets, and if so can I use the 06 STI cam gears? I would like to avoid spending $160 for brackets if I can.
PS: I already have the AVCS wired up and working just fine.

Thanks for the reply, I actually didnt need to add a bracket to run the old cam sensor. The mount was already there, it is what I am doing until I can figure out the pinout of the newer hall effect type cam sensors.

If you have them wired up and working then why are you wanting to switch exactly?

Also, please post pics of your swapped legacy so we can be legacy swap friends.
