GM T56 how to get VSS working MS3x

Post by Thirim »

Trying to figure out the wiring to get my VSS working with MS3x. I thought it was just as simple as wiring up the VSS wire to the signal wire on the T56 but after some reading I'm thinking that isn't the case?
I'm already using PT4 for the optispark.

I have a dakota digital box but unless it's impossible or super complicated, I'd prefer not to use it. (1 less magic box in the puzzle lol )

What I know of the T56
17 pulse per driveshaft revolution = 25,000ppm and larger. ..1996 GM t56 from a camaro

Thanks

The vr sensor needs conditioned to a digital output. Youll need a box. Do you have the sgi-5? I've used that, I've used the dual vr board from jbperf and you can use the 70's style 4 pin hei module as a converter.


Another option is to use a microsquirt module as a canbus I/o box and wire the sensor directly as well

I have the sgi-5 box so I guess I'll use that. I was just hoping to keep it out.

Thanks :)

Another option is to use a DRAC or VSSB from the 1988 to 1995 TBI GM trucks.

Ive used this method as well. Free at the junk yard if a pull a part but if you have the SGI-5 then you are golden .
