Default crankshaft sensor info please

just seen that the escort cosworth small turbo runs a completely different ignition timing setup, can anyone shed some light on it for me please as to how much different it is to using the distributor and if its any better or not?

also does anyone have any piks of the crank trigger pulley and sensor? looks the better way to go when it comes to fitting my cosworth engine surely?

The small turbo and large turbo Esc Cos run different ECU setups which require different triggers.

If your fitting a cosworth engine to your 3dr you would want the large turbo type ECU lowest form of a L6 ECU.

This uses a 4 trigger CPS
and also the phase sensor from the Dizzy.

If you dont want to use the dizzy for the phase sensor you an use the GrpA version which is a cam sensor fitted to the camcover which picks up from an extra shaft fitted to the inlet cam.

Or the other method is use a cam trigger disk off the front cam shaft pulley with a custom bracket and sensor.

Hope this helps a little, if not i could have a chat with you next time im down your road

Regards
Jano
