I regards to the 12 trigger wheel I was involved with some bench testing of a hall effect 24 tooth wheel as opposed to a 24 tooth using the stock cas optical sensor and concluded that the optical sensor was the issue rather than the 24 tooth resolution. We spun it up to 6000 rpm on a drill and rev synch captured on a motec, halech and microtech and notice a significantly cleaner signal and square waveform rather than the pyramiding pattern that we saw on the optical sensor. There were also no changes in edge order(skipping triggers). Using a 12 trigger would be no issue based on the observations as the 6000 rpm on the 24 wheel would he equivalent to spinning a 12 trigger wheel at 12000 rpm. Hope this helps.

This is the setup I've been running on my sohc 30 (we braced the bracket up after that pic). Ran a autronic 6-1 chopper disc in cas for cam sync. Went from not being able to rev past 4000, to revving out cleanly to 7. Plus just running smoother all round.

Currently building a 30neo, am I able to replace the disc in the Neo cas?post-78438-0-01277500-1419929375_thumb.jpg

I love seeing home grown innovation! Great work on having a crack at it Murrayis! If you do end up selling it I'm sure you'll sell a bucket load of them!

Huzqld whilst looking slightly agricultural I'm sure yours works perfect too, good job!

Now hurry up and get a kit on the market you blokes before I convince myself to buy the Ross kit @ $2000!

Ill have the first sample batch next week I hope.

Anyone wanting to support the project I can work out a special price for the first run :)

I'm hoping to get the per unit cost to around $90 so the brackets for $180 and sensors around $70 each then all youll need is the chopper wheel and wiring

Cheap cheap

Too cheap, mate you're more than entitled to add some intellectual property value into them, nobody should be expected to put the work into designing something without making a return! You've put the effort in, reward yourself at least a little!

Nah I've taken so much from the community over the years :) time to give back!

Honestly the per unit cost to land them is roughly $50 so plenty in it.

I dont want to make money out of this, the idea is to give to those who want but cannot do!

I've been building my rb24 for 8 years and been dicked around so much you shpuld not have to go through that.

I would suggest contacting Matt at Nistune and asking him if it would be possible to modify the code to accept your sensors. It might not be possible without some sort of interface box to make the waveforms look more like what the optical trigger puts out......but it might be doable. That could/would expand your market space a lot, and make a lot of Nistune users pretty happy too.

You could also look into doing a version with more teeth for those ECUs that will handle it.

Nope makes no difference the only thing to check is the signal voltage, you just have to make sure you use the correct signal wire off the cas if you want to use the factory loom and the other wire off the cas for your tdc cam trigger. That's it and done

It means there would be 36 teeth spread evenly around the trigger wheel.. But you take 1 out so the ECU has a reference point for start up..

Generally you need to attach the wheel to the balancer

You're too humble but that's up to you!!

If you had the time and inclination it would be brilliant to have brackets made that suit all of the more common balancers- Ross, ATI, etc. Most of the common balancers can be ordered with the trigger wheel as an option so they could be made to suit that. A lot easier to bolt on a trigger wheel than having to machine slots into a $700 balancer!

Anyway, good job on giving back to the SAU community, you're a top bloke for it!

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 馃
    • Any difference in induction noise?
