Default ZVH cossie management conversion??

My brothers mate is after a bit of info on how to put cossie management onto his 2.1 ZVH turbo.The Engine is going into an xr3i, so he is using the EFI manifold off that

So far, and I don't really know much about RS turbos , the bits we have come up with that he will need are:

1) L6/ 8 / P8 ECU.
2) Cossie engine loom
3) Cossie throttle body
4) Cossie sensors- Water temp, Aircharge temp, ISCV, TPS, AMAL valve.
5) Crank sensor+ trigger wheel- whats the best way to do this?
6) Phase sensor + trigger- Best way to do this? If he gets a hybrid dizzy then I assume it is covered in this, but If he were to run MSD's wasted spark driver, where would the feed come from? Cam trigger ?

Do you need a cossie fan swich, can't remember if they are ECU controlled or not

Can an L6 ECU run Closed loop or is it only L8?
Do you need to fit a cossie rev counter or will a 3i one take a cossie management signal?

Lots of questions, sorry, thanks for any info

sounds like a lot of work for a bean tin when you could just sell the bits and buy a cossie

doesn't matter if you have dizzy or wasted spark coilpack ignition, the ecu still needs the phase sensor just the same. all the phase sensor does is run at half the crank speed so that the ecu knows which stroke it is on. the ecu needs to know that for the sequential fuel injection. so it can run of anything that runs at half crankshaft speed, such as a camshaft.

i would not piss about with dizzys at all. go wasted spark and run the phase sensor off a cam. if you have a zetec engine as a donor for the block, don't they come with a phase sensor already that you can adapt?

and fans are not ecu controlled - on a cossie there is a switch in the rad that switches a relay in the fusebox

As above the best way is using a coil pack and a phase setup that can control the system to its exact requirements via the ECU. The Zetec cam sensor will not do this using a weber ECU in std form.

You should fit an adjustable trigger setup that is available for any engine setup including the YB.

what are on about? what needs to be adjustable?

all the phase sensor needs to do is tell the ecu what phase the engine is in, i.e if piston 1 is going up, is it on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke

Do not get confused with what i am saying!

The reason my system is adjustable is so that you can set it 100% for what ever engine setup you have. The system i offer is not fixed and requires adjustment untill the correct position is set!


Hope that helps you understand what i am talking about.

jano, i am confused with what you are saying

you just mean that the sensor can be adjusted to give the right clearance or what?

janos setup does not only give sensor height adjustment but are able to be adjusted a full 360 degrees so can be set up 100% accurate to each engine

right, i sort of understand it now

sounds good, hopefully it can be well locked in position and won't slip?

it's only a phase sensor though, doesn't need to be very accurate
