Ross can eat a dick. The price of those kits is Bullshit. I got my gear from some local guys who were able to provide the trigger, hall sensor and mounting kit for less than 400 bucks.

Yes they are expensive. The principle is simple enough Motec and other companies have the sensors, it's just a p in the a to get a trigger wheel to balance and work properly.

Its pretty damn easy. Have even seen slots cut into the harmonic balancer used to trigger.

Which is why I said the principle is simple enough, but balance only needs to be out a bit for the system to stuff up the signal and cause issues. Ross did plenty of R&D to arrive at a good system, but I agree it is expensive.

Its a wheel fixed to your crank. There is literally nothing difficult about it. I am more impressed with Ross's marketing department than their engineering department on this one.

Other than an uneven cut out wheel on a 6 cylinder that are known for engine destroying harmonics.

Really? Lol. There would be hundreds of places capable of making a wheel with evenly spaced gaps in it. This is actually just getting silly now. Any way thanks for reminding me why I stopped posting here. Good night whores!

I thought you stopped posting, as your keyboard was clearly bigger than everyone else's. :) Balance is critical. If it was so simple, why didn't you make one up yourself???

PS: I am actually fully trade qualified (Ask Ants) and build RB engines myself in what little spare time I have outside law. My latest build is 390AWKW SAU member's engine. Have you even touched or used the Ross trigger system, or just posting that they suck for the sole purpose of trying to contradict me? :)

Notice I put smiley faces, therefore it's a friendly post. :)

I didn't make one my self because a monkey with a cnc machine can make a prefect trigger disc in minutes. I don't give a f**k if you are qualified in every trade ever and made a 9000kw rb in your kitchen, you are wrong. There is nothing difficult about a crank trigger no matter which way you slice it, any machine shop in the country can produce the required disc. I have touched a Ross kit. Then used it to think of something else that does the same job for 1/4 of the price. At no point did I say the Ross kit is shit. It isn't, their price however is completely unjustifiable for the simplicity of the gear they supply.

I got my information on how to get the set up done simply and cheaply by a guy called Alan Heaply who also knows a thing or two about RBs. Probably even trade qualified but I would have to verify that with Ants.

if it works i will take it! thank you :D

really thought i would be over CAS issues since buying a refurbished CAS (all new parts inside apparently) but guess that is a risk you take :(

I'll see if it works this arvo and I'll let you know, shoot me a pm

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
