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

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
