Resistance for coolant and oil temp sensors

I'm running a BF turbo engine for an engine conversion and need to calibrate the coolant temp and oil temp to the Haltech ECU.

 

Does anyone have the resistance charts for these?

I.e. 0 deg = 10ohms - 80 deg = 0ohms or whatever it may be

I installed new AEM sensors for this exact reason.  I seem to remember my wiring guy saying something about them being GM style sensors.  Could be wrong though,  as it was a while ago.

Whoops I did mean to do some digging but I forgot.

Yeah I was going to suggest just buying new sensors as running 12 year old sensors on a new build/ecu is just not what you should do.

Sensors could be new and being used for ease of installation? 

 

Eot is in the linked doc interesting the Cht is not listed.

The mighty car mods dudes used a haltech in their barra cressida with the factory wiring harness. Turbo Yoda sorted out the harness and they got it tuned at Castle Hill Performance. You could email any or all of these guys and I don't see why they wouldn't help you out.

 

Of course you could just plot your own curves. Nothing that a multi-meter, a freezer and a pot of water on the stove wouldn't fix.

 

Here is a discussion about that kind of stuff.

oil temp easy swapped if need be but head temp is a brand new sensor as they are a pain to get to if it fails

Haltech use GM style sensors but by the time you buy a bunch of them they add up. Trying to spend money in the right areas without going overboard with new everything. 

Was going to plot the temps as suggested with a spare sensor and I figure the oil temp would give a good indication of engine temp. 

Does the Barra actually have a sensor for coolant?

No, Why dont you use a VDO sensor and run it into the coolant in the top hose.
