Universal Turbo Speed Sensor M6x0.5
Monitor turbo speed with precision.
The Ichiban Engineering Universal Turbo Speed Sensor M6x0.5 is a motorsport-grade solution designed to accurately monitor turbocharger shaft speed across a wide range of performance applications.
Using advanced blade-pass sensing technology, the sensor measures turbocharger RPM by detecting individual compressor wheel blade passes, allowing tuners and engine builders to verify that the turbocharger is operating safely and efficiently within its intended compressor map.
Turbo speed monitoring has become an essential tool in modern high-performance engine development. By accurately tracking shaft speed, users can prevent turbo overspeed conditions, optimize boost control strategies, improve compressor efficiency, and protect expensive turbocharger systems under extreme operating conditions.
The sensor utilizes passive eddy-current sensing technology, generating a clean digital square-wave signal directly from compressor blade movement without requiring an external power supply. This allows simple integration with most aftermarket ECUs, motorsport dash systems, and data loggers.
Built for harsh environments, the sensor features a compact M6x0.5 threaded steel housing with high-temperature resistance suitable for turbocharger compressor covers and motorsport engine bays. The adjustable mounting design allows easy installation and precise positioning relative to the compressor wheel.
Compatible with virtually any compressor wheel design, this sensor is ideal for street, drag racing, time attack, drift, and circuit applications where turbocharger monitoring is critical.
