Ecotec 6+1 Lightweight Reluctor Wheel – High-Performance Crank Trigger for Hybrid Builds
Discover the Ecotec 6+1 Lightweight Reluctor Wheel
Maximize revs and reduce rotational mass with the BK Racing Ecotec 6+1 Lightweight Reluctor Wheel — the best lightweight 7x crank signal reluctor for GM Ecotec 2.2L and 2.4L hybrid engines, replacing the heavy stock 58x wheel on later crankshafts (2006+ LAP, LE5, LE9, LAT, LAF, LEA). This precision-machined lightweight wheel features the classic 6 evenly spaced teeth + 1 sync tooth (7x pattern) for accurate crank position signaling, enabling compatibility with early Cavalier-style P11 ECMs and harnesses (2002-2005).
Designed for hybrid Ecotec swaps (e.g., 2.2L head on 2.4L bottom end for higher RPM capability), the lightweight construction shaves unsprung crank weight for quicker acceleration and reduced inertia — trusted for seamless integration and superior response in custom Cobalt, Cavalier, HHR, Solstice, and Ion projects.
Key Features:
- Lightweight design reduces rotational mass compared to stock 58x wheel
- Precision 6+1 (7x) pattern for reliable crank signal
- Direct bolt-on replacement on removable reluctor crankshafts
- High-quality machined construction for durability in high-RPM/boosted conditions
Performance Benefits:
- Lower inertia for faster revving and improved throttle response
- Accurate timing signal for smooth operation with early 2002-2005 ECM/harness
- Supports hybrid builds combining best Ecotec traits (e.g., rev-happy head + torquey stroke)
- Essential for swaps avoiding complex 58x adaptations or custom tuning
- Pairs perfectly with BK Racing timing kits, adjustable cam gears, and valvetrain upgrades
Compatibility:
- Later GM Ecotec crankshafts with removable 58x reluctor (2006+):
- 2.2L (LAP)
- 2.4L (LE5, LE9, LAT, LAF, LEA)
- Enables use with early 2002-2005 wiring/ECU (P11 style)
- Chevrolet Cobalt/HHR/Malibu, Pontiac G5/G6/Solstice, Saturn Ion/Sky/Vue/Aura, and custom hybrid swaps
Installation Note: Requires crankshaft removal for wheel swap. Professional balancing recommended after install. ECU tuning required for optimal performance.
