Switching from Hall effect to Reluctor sensor?

[Noddie]

Well,
My SLX has been off the road and neglected for a little while, but its time to get it back into action!
I have been talking to the company that installed the Hawk ecu into the turbo micra in Oz and he has suggested that i switch from the hall effect sensor in the distributor to a reluctor sensor on the crank. He said that he did use the hall effect sensor but never got it running perfectly.
Am i right to think that the CGA engine uses a reluctor sensor? is that the coilpack engines? does anyone have any idea how easy it would be to switch? i really have no idea on this so please, any ideas welcome?

i think paul (smith) is running with a crank sensor ed, it should be pretty straight forward to setup with a coilpack flywheel

that sounds hopeful, but is the pickup in the gearbox housing? and does the flywheel bolt strait up? you must have some of the parts needed right frank? when i work out what i need i will pop up and collect them along with the mani/fuel rail

you could mount one on your bellhousing ed, here,s a lightened coilpack and stock one (same boltholes + extra dowel hole), or else mount the sensor ring from the auto f/w (on the left) onto yours

thats not a bad idea, could mount somthing like this http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?categoryID=82 (half way down the page) might be easier than butchering my bell housing...
