bear924 Posted 20October, 2021 Report Share Posted 20October, 2021 Hi all, The series 2 924 turbo was fitted with a DITIC (Digital ignition system) that utilised a flywheel sensor. The 924 turbo is one of the few cars on the world that utilised this technology and lots of people (including myself) have found that their flywheel sensor needs to be replaced, and then find they are no longer produced. Surfing on the 924 groups on FB recently and discovered that a company called 'Classic Line' will be soon releasing a replacement. Company doesn't have a website (that I know of), however if interested you'll easily find in FB and could message Corentin. That's the limit of my knowledge on the subject, if anyone else is wiser I'd be interested in feedback on the sensor etc. Dreamr, brian in buddina, Russ and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 20October, 2021 Report Share Posted 20October, 2021 I saw this as well on Facebook and was only telling someone about it last night. I'm lucky, or unlucky enough, depending which way you look at it, that I have a Series 1 so this doesn't affect me, but what great news for Series 2 owners. This part has been the weakest link and downfall for many S2 Turbos. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 21October, 2021 Report Share Posted 21October, 2021 Is this sensor different than the ones on the 944? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 21October, 2021 Report Share Posted 21October, 2021 Just now, brian in buddina said: Is this sensor different than the ones on the 944? Yes it is Brian. The last one I know of for sale is $1,400 used for the 924T. I believe the 944 ones are readily available which makes it a really hard pill to swallow for those that need one. The 944 sensor is much longer than the 924T one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 21October, 2021 Report Share Posted 21October, 2021 If the function of the sensor is the same between the 924 turbo & 944, you would think you could adjust the height of the sensor to make it work. Someone in the US made a plastic tool that is for sale, to set the gap between the sensor & flywheel. The bracket that hold the sensor, in the 944, is adjustable height wise to set the gap. This must all have been discussed somewhere on line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 25October, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 25October, 2021 My understanding is that the sensing mechanism is different with between the 924 and 944 sensor. 924 sensor is very unique when it comes to fly wheel sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
