Awesome project mate!
I will certainly keep my eye on this one.

I will be using an older Haltech E6X for my 1.9 cvh build. We have decided to use 8:1 CR
as we are staying with 15 psi boost.

What Haltech unit are you using? fully sequential?

I may use fully sequential, but not sure how to set up the cam position sensor - where exactly should the cam trigger be placed? The crank is set up with a 36-1 trigger, where
the missing tooth is 90 degrees BTDC.

Cheers

Perry

Alright mate thanks. its a good bit of kit when you've got your head around it, and am still not very good with it
Mines a sprint 500 and ive got it on batch. ive got the cam sensor but its not switched on so its just picking up from the crank at the min. simon at sitech is the best to talk to about them he knows loads about them mate.

thanks lee
