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!

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
