Ecotec 6+1 Reluctor Wheel (7x Crank Signal) – Precision Trigger Upgrade for 2.2L & 2.4L Crankshafts
Ecotec Reluctor Wheel: A Precision Upgrade for Your Engine
Convert your later Ecotec to early-style timing with the BK Racing Ecotec 6+1 Reluctor Wheel — the best 7x crank signal reluctor for GM Ecotec 2.2L and 2.4L hybrid builds, replacing the stock 58x wheel on crankshafts from 2006+ engines (LAP, LE5, LE9, LAT, LAF, LEA). This direct-bolt-on 6 evenly spaced teeth + 1 sync tooth (7x pattern) wheel enables compatibility with older Cavalier-style P11 ECMs and wiring harnesses (2002-2005), delivering accurate crank position signaling for precise ignition and fuel timing.
Popular for hybrid Ecotec swaps (e.g., 2.2L head on 2.4L bottom end for higher RPM capability), this reluctor is a must-have when mixing generations or using early ECUs on later cranks — trusted for seamless integration and reliable performance in custom Cobalt, Cavalier, HHR, Solstice, and Ion projects.
Key Features:
- Precision-machined for exact 6+1 (7x) pattern and OEM-spec fitment
- Direct replacement — bolts onto crankshaft counterweight
- High-quality construction for durability under high-RPM or boosted conditions
- Enables use of simpler, tunable early ECMs on advanced bottom ends
Performance Benefits:
- Accurate crank signal for smooth operation and optimal tuning with 2002-2005 harness/ECU
- Supports hybrid builds combining best traits of early/late Ecotecs (e.g., rev-happy 2.2L head + torquey 2.4L stroke)
- Essential for swaps avoiding complex 58x ECM adaptations
- 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. Tuning required for optimal performance.
