What do you use in place of the flywheel for the CPS to take a signal from ? my block obviously aint got a hole for a cps and im not wanting to drill it. Is there anywhere or anyone who sells something suitable ????

 

The block is drilled in no time actually. Really soft cast material. I have done this with my car when I installed the Megasquirt'n'spark extra management.

 

You can use the CPS and pully teeth from a 1.8 CVH EFI Sierra

 

Jesse, I really dont want to have to drill it if I can find another way

Adam, I was told that the Sierra CVH was to wide to fit in the engine bay please tell me you can do it though

 

ya have to machine the bottom pully to allow it to fit

not topo tough though

 

Ginge how much do you need to take off it roughly ??? can get it done at work

 

4-5mm IIRC

 

Adam would I be right in saying that its machined on this side ??


And can you fit the pulley with the engine still in the car ?

 

speak to jano, he sells these parts ready modified to bolt straigt on, no need for any work.

 

the other side is machined !!!!, ya can fit the pully with the engine in the car but ya gotta lower the side of the engine though !!!!

jano suplied my parts and tbh was at a very good price hence why i never bothered to machine me my self

 

i think this woz the bit that suited you bigbal

 

yeah telling me, why spend all that time and petrol to get small nigly things done when ya can give a give a drink and he has it already done and ya just collect it

 

Other side ????

Got a pulley here and a lathe in work or else I would have just bought it from Jano

Whilst were on the subject, what did you do about the alternator ? change it to a sierra one or just swap the pulley's over ?

 

Outta side to be machined, and yes... you need to lower the engine to fit...



I have got a complete post when i did the conversion myself but it seems to have disappeared...

Anyway, with the alternator.... you need the 1.8 CVH EFI Sierra alternator bracket with 4-5mm machined off the left side of it, adjustable arm and pully...

 

Adam thats spot on mate

Cheers

 

how do you go about doing this off the cam pulley?

 

use a phase disc, with a crank sensor mounted above it on a bracket

 

Any pics of this ??

 

why not use cossie efi and make a 4 point trigger and make your own cps bracket for the sensor ? easy as and loads better efi.

 

Had a fiesta turbo ecu, a 3i efi loom and a S2 with a fucked k-jet system all sitting around so made sense and easy to throw it all together
