Default AEM EPM instead of &M CPS???

http://www.aemelectronics.com/engine...module-epm-24/

Has anyone tried one of these on a 2jz na-t yet??
This would be the easiest way to get hall effect sensors on a NA-t which should eliminate all ignition issues with the AEM trying to read magnetic sensors (exact same problem all the honhda guys have).
It is expensive but would be the perfect alternative to the 7M cps if you have an AEM and want perfect timing, not to mention its brand new vs 20 year old part.

First off I guess the real question is will it physically fit and work on a 2jz?
The 24 tooth crank and 1 cam is exactly what our engines use also so no problem there. Anyone willing to be the guinea pig??

Wonder how you'd adapt it to the GE head?

yeah maybe calling them might not be a bad idea.
The main problem would be the length. if they have different length ones we could measure the back side of the distributor and find one that close.

I know this is an old thread, but i've been doing searches and have come up with nothing. Has anyone tried this or does anyone have any more info if this would work?

What you are reading is pretty much where it ended, it was an idea I had but the thought of contacting AEM for anything made me abandon the idea. I do see they have a more universal one now that is just the top puck part which makes things alot simpler than before.

you would need to remove the stock cap and rotor, possibly the gears and sensors that are already there, and find a way to connect the old shaft, to the one on the bottom of the puck. perhaps the old one can be modded onto the new one. $166 could be an expensive paperweight, or a really sweet cam and crank pickup.

yeah i am running no cap and rotor too with a modded stock cap.
I just talked to the guy who makes the 7m billet aluminum cps covers, and he said he may be able to make one for the GE distributor. If I get a billet aluminum cap on the stock distributor, I think I could be very happy with that.
As far as 2jz ecu's go they prefer the stock distributor sensors over the 7m, thats my motivation for getting a shiny cap.

I would love a shiny cap also, but i would need it to be shaved down so the profile is only tall enough to cover the gear...stupid 4" intake and turbo is in the way. Let me know if the guy ends up making it for you, I would b all over it like white on rice also.

BTW I shot an email to AEM, and this is their response to me.

"The EPM should fit on the engine if you make your own adapter plate. However, the 6100 EMS is designed for a magnetic trigger only. In order use the EPM, which is a hall-type signal, you’ll need to modify the EMS, removing and replacing resistors for the cam/crank inputs, which would void the warranty."

yeah its going to be a low profile cap, only to cover the sensors, and it should be machined out of billet aluminum.

yeah anything you do to one of those boxes will void the warranty, but there are a few members that run hall sensors on modded boxes, and the result is a very accurate crank signal, as you just went from analog technology to digital, and we all know which one is more accurate.
