Sensor Information

Crank/Cam Sensor

The turbo models of this engine all use a Crank Position Sensor and a Cam Position Sensor.   Some aspirated models use a Distributor instead of a crank and cam sensor.

Crank Sensor

Crank sensor models of the 2JZ and 1JZ use a crank trigger located as part of the timing belt drive gear on the crank with the sensor near the alternator.  Non-VVTi engine have a 12x tooth, and VVTi models have a 36-2 (36 teeth with 2 missing teeth.

Cam Sensor

Two Cam Position Sensors are present on the Non VVTi engine, both are Reluctor sensors with a single tooth pickup
The sensors are located on the LHS of the cylinder head near the intake manifold/injectors with G1 located midway along the engine, and G2 located towards the rear.  The G2 sensor is used with Haltech Terminated Harnesses.
The VVTi models use a single Reluctor Cam Position Sensor which has a 3x tooth pickup.

Distributor

A 3x Reluctor trigger system is used on the 2JZ-GE engine.  This has a 24x tooth pickup with a single Reluctor pickup (NE), and has a second 1-tooth pickup that has 2x separate sensors (G1 and G2) with only one of the pickups required for Haltech use.  All sensors use a common shared wire back to the ECU (G-).

Notes:
If OEM Wiring is used such as when an adapter harness is installed, then the Ground Reference should be changed to ENABLED for both Trigger and Home.
If the G1 Mid Cam Sensor is used the TDC Offset will need to be increased by 360 to become 365.

Ignition Coils and Igniter

The ignition coils on this engine require an external igniter module.  Haltech HPI igniter module are a good choice for this if the OEM unit is not available.

Direct Fire Models

Non-VVTi models use a coil per plug in Direct Fire

This igniter uses Constant Charge with a Falling Edge.  Using other settings will damage the ignition system.

Waste Spark Models

VVTi models use Waste Spark. Coil is on plug with a lead providing spark to the paired cylinder.

Dwell Time
Coil On Plug Models

Setting dwell higher than 2.2ms@14V can cause the ignition to breakup at around 6000rpm, feeling like an RPM Limiter.

VVTi Variable Cam
Haltech 1JZ/2JZ
The Toyotai VVT-i system present on the 2JZ engine controls only the inlet cam.  It uses the same single cam position sensor used for engine sync to know where exactly the cam is.  The ECU controls the movement of the cam via a single output to a solenoid that is powered from 12V+.   The control system operates in closed loop to maintain the cam in the target position.
For these engines, the Cam Control should be set to use the HOME for the input.
Throttle Position Sensor
This engine uses a cable operated throttle body with a position sensor.

Calibration: Use "MAP - Toyota Supra JZA80 2JZGTE 079800-3250.cal"
Although these engines come with a MAP sensor, if preferred the internal Haltech MAP sensor can be used which reads up to 200 kPa of boost pressure.
For higher boost levels an external MAP sensor should be used instead.

Knock Sensor
The 2JZ Engine uses 2x knock sensors.  One for the front 3 cylinder and one for the back 3 cylinders.
These are a single wire Resonant Type sensor which are specific to only this engine. They will be only reliable with an unmodified engine.
Haltech 1JZ/2JZ
For more reliable knock control they should be updated to use a "donut" style Non-Resonant sensor that can be tuned to suit the engine.
The Haltech HT-011100 sensor is suitable for this application.
Haltech 1JZ/2JZ

O2 Sensors

The 2JZ engine uses older style Narrowband Sensors.  It is strongly recommended to replace these with Wideband O2 sensors.
For correct operation a Haltech WB1 kit is highly recommended for this application, with the provided 4.9 sensor replacing the pre-cat sensor.  Sensors use a 22mm socket or spanner to remove and replace.
Haltech 1JZ/2JZ

Vehicle Speed Sensor

This engine uses a Vehicle Speed sensor. Some models use a 3-pin Hall Sensor that sends the signal to the speedo, then this sends a signal to the OEM ECU.
Some use a 2-pin Reluctor sensor wired directly to the OEM ECU.

Dillon Tinetti - June 27, 2024

Can I run a haltech 750 on my crown jzs171. Just to support aftermarket turbo and fuel system. Im guessing that this means factory ecu keeps control of the automatic meaning a valve body would be best to have good shifting and to reduce box damages from slip between shifts.

2500 is slightly out of budget so 750 seems best option but been told it isn’t enough.
