What pricing are you looking at and what will be included in the kit/what will have to be sourced?

Part of me is really keen, but then another part of me thinks I should save the time/money and live with stock as im not having any issues. Too hard to make decisions on this car sometimes lol

It's looking like about $300 for all the mounts and cam trigger wheel.

I can source the sensors also for $70 each and you will just need to get the balancer modified at any machine shop.

I still think its the optical pickups in the cas that are the problems, because even with a 24/1 aem trigger disc i still saw issues, when we hacked up the cas with a hall effect pick up with 24/1 set up, had no problem.

I thinks its a reasonable conclusion to draw, and to solve the problem any hall effect setup off the crank or even a cam only hall effect trigger will work.

I have never seen a hall effect trigger system not work.

How would you go about a cam only Hall effects trigger?

That sounds like the cheaper/easier alternative if it is the optical sensor that is the problem and not the absence of a crank sensor

You could do a cam only hall effect trigger easily enough. You would need 2 sensors and two chopper discs. One disc would only have the single trigger, and the other might have 6 or 12 or 24 depending on what you think you can make worth with the sensor and the ECU. The sensors would probably end up being mounted axially (rather than radially like in Murray's current design so you could have one trigger wheel inside the other. Or you might have one radial and one axial perhaps.

I get sensors from www.digikey.com.au

They are the cheapest supplier I have been able to find in case anyone is looking at hall effect sensors of the Honeywell 1gt101dc type and other brands too. They also have pressure transducers in various types and pressure ranges, once again in Honeywell brand.

That may help people who are looking for automotive sensors :)

wow! that's changed since I last bought some. The last batch I got of them they were only about $35 each!

Well ignore that then!

RS prices have come down too. They use to be about $80 a sensor.

Well guys ive had alot of trouble in the past two weeks getting in contact with the factory in china and as far as I know tthe first batch still has not shipped.

I'll keep you all updated

Super Keen you are BlackBox!

Certainly... anything is possible, I would need to see if there is a dual pickup hal effect sensor or similar more compact items as having two units next to each other will get bulky.

  • 2 weeks later...

Lets just say I've wanted to fly to china to have some stern words with a few people.

I've been talking to the factory up until 2陆 weeks ago where they stopped all communications, I ended up contacting the company register in HongKong to obtain the business owners details to contact them and finally heard back last night from one of their sales girls who informed me they are being re-made as there was a problem with the finish and they have been trying to hide it from her by not answering me on Skype, Email, Phone or WeChat...

The business owner has promised me that they will ship this week..... this is all I know and I've well out of pocket at this stage so my fingers and toes have been crossed for weeks they actually show up!

If that fails, contact Julian at Aftermarket Industries / CNC Industries. Apart from making good fuel systems he also has very decent CNC machining capability in China. He made the first 3 alloy spacer plates for my V3 engines and the quality is great.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
