Heu guys , im abit confused with this crank trigger ecu and loom iv perched .(microtech lt8s)

what I dont understand is it appears that it doesnt run the cas in the dizzy and has a billet cap with a seal that fits into the distributor hole in the head , with a separate loom from the main loom straight from crank trigger to the ecu , it also came with another loom from cas in dizzy to ecu witch is marked (cas if crank trigger unused)

So I did abit of research and have only come across threads saying it needs to run the cas in the dizzy and no ones seen or no of anyone removing the distributor completely to run only a crank trigger set up so I finally made my way to u guys. ????? So any input would be great

So batch injection would mean firing 2 injectors at a time right ?what r the pros and cons of this ?would there be any power loss or gain ?with having fuel built up waiting for the valves to open?

And as it was set up with the microtech x6 would this mean it still ren sequential ignition?

Or would this not work with no cas

Im running semi sequential injection on an RB25 and it seems to have mainly an effect on low load and low rpm AFRs, throttle response and also idle quality. I wish I had full sequential control, as such I would skip batch injection.

Just reading this again...semi sequential would mean firing groups of injectors. Mine are paired 1-5, 3-6, 2-4. Instead of pairing them like wasted spark where the cylinders are in the same position, the idea with injection is to inject fuel for 1 cylinder, then the next opening cylinder. (it works alright, but still a step down from fully sequential, for the reasons I listed above) As I understand, batch fire would be firing all injectors at a certain point.

im following ya .1-5 3-6 2-4 as the firing order is 153624 so the next cylinder has fuel ready to be sucked in .r the down sides all that noticeable in street driving ? Or just on dyno figures?

I think iv read that na rb30s run semi sequential and rb30turbos run full sequential ?

Both I believe rely on a reference from a cas so id be right on asuming that nether of them could of been how my set up was configured

Im using my setup on my daily run around. There doesnt seem to be any problem once the engine is over 1200rpm, plus I get decent fuel economy too.

As for dyno figures, the difference between fully sequential and semi sequential is hardly a concern, as the engine is at such high RPM and rich AFRs anyways.

Having full sequential control over the injection timing can help to run closer to stoich AFRs at idle while still remaining smooth. Getting smooth cold starts can be tricky and it helps to have more control (although that will be ECU dependant).

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
