GM			Wells SU109 : Standard Motors Products (SMP) TX3 Pigtail Pico 5615pt	3/8" NPT threaded brass body and a 2 pin terminal.	<link to Race Capture analog channel configuration>	Can be used for air inlet temperature for normally aspirated engines
GM			Wells SU107 : Standard Motors Products (SMP) AX1 Pigtail Pico 5616pt	3/8" NPT threaded brass body and a 2 pin terminal.	<link to Race Capture analog channel configuration>	Use for measuring air inlet temperature. Exposed sensing element, necessary for boosted engines where fast response times are necessary. Due to the fragility of the sensing bulb, it is necessary to pot the base of the sensor leads with sensor-safe silicone when used in high vibration environments.

Infrared Tire Temperature

Texas Instruments		*Texas Instruments : Board Mount Temperature Sensors Infrared Thermopile Sensor Pigtail Pico 5615pt		<link to Race Capture digital channel configuration>	Can be used for 3 position tire temperature, when mounted within 3" of tire
Pulse Sensors RPM Wheel Speed Pressure Sensors Fluid Pressure Brake pressure sensors will be used to capture inline brake fluid pressure. Combining this input with brake pedal travel can provide a way to show brake fade in real time. Boost / Vacuum Mfg Description Pic Pigtail Part Numbers Mechanical Analog Configuration Notes GM 3.3 bar MAP sensor Sensor: 9373269 Pigtail: 88987997 fastens with clips <link to Race Capture analog channel configuration> 3.3 bar map sensor found on turbo GM products DIY Freescale MPX4250AP 2.5 bar MAP sensor N/A custom custom <link> An extremely popular MAP sensor used in the Megajolt ignition and Megasquirt fuel injection systems. Can build up a simple circuit on perfboard and be powered by 5V v-ref from Race Capture Distance Sensors Suspension Travel Mfg Description Pic Pigtail Part Numbers Mechanical Analog Configuration Notes DIY Sharp GP2D12 optical distance sensor 3-pin connector GP2D12 custom <link> Optical distance sensor measures from 10 to 80 cm and outputs a voltage corresponding to that distance. To measure suspension travel, install a unit at each corner of car, targeting the road surface. May also be used for pedal travel as well, providing there is a target to sense Angle Sensors Steering Angle Mfg Description Pic Pigtail Part Numbers Mechanical Analog Configuration Notes DIY Sharp GP2D12 optical distance sensor 3-pin connector GP2D12 custom <link> Optical distance sensor measures from 10 to 80 cm and outputs a voltage corresponding to that distance. To measure suspension travel, install a unit at each corner of car, targeting the road surface. May also be used for pedal travel as well, providing there is a target to sense. Create a target latched to the steering rod and use the travel out and back of the steering rack rod to denote the travel left and right for steering. This measures true steering(and ignores the speed sensitivity of steering systems, showing actual tire angle result, not steering wheel rotation). It also provides a quick way to verify alignment issues as location vs. gps/accelerometer travel in the "Straight ahead" direction will be at varying angles when alignment issues are present. Throttle Position Brake Position/Pressure Linear Sensors Wiring Sensor Breakout Board We've created an optional sensor breakout / distribution board that will make it easier to use sensors that require pullup resistors as well as making available multiple ground and 5V Vref connections. The built-in pullup resistors are easily disabled by breaking a designated trace on the board. This board is compact; enough to be bundled inline with your wiring harness. SensorX
