Skullzaflare Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 So I'm getting ready for ms, and got a question about lining up the trigger wheel before drilling and mounting. Where do I line up tdc on the 36-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Look in the megamanual.. 9 teeth past the gap i believe.. The VR sensor and 36-1 crank trigger wheel must be set in the correct relationship to each other. With the engine at TDC for cylinder #1, this relationship is:EDIS-4: missing tooth is exactly nine teeth (90°) ahead of the VR sensor,EDIS-6: missing tooth is exactly six teeth (60°) ahead of the VR sensor,EDIS-8: missing tooth is exactly five teeth (50°) ahead of the VR sensor.

Skullzaflare Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Ahead, that would make the gap closer to the driver wheel, not passenger, right? Also, would tdc be directly on the tooth, or on the gap? Edited April 4, 2013 by Skullzaflare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cturbo Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 when i done mine, i put it center on the tooth, the 9th tooth. and yes, the gap is ahead closer to the drivers side of the car.. thats the direction the engine rotates. I had mookeehs wheel and mount though so mine lined up perfect.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) as long as the sensor lines up with the proper tooth the wheel can be mounted anyway.the problem comes in when mounting the sensor. you need room. I mounted mine here...Note the blacked out tooth. that is the 9th tooth that you need to align to the sensor.the 2 bolts holding the sensor mount on are bolts from a 2 stroke motor cycle crank case.proper thread pattern and length. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/M%20P%20I%20project/8.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q299/I-W/M%20P%20I%20project/1.jpg http://autosportlabs.net/images/1/1c/Edis_wheel.gif Edited April 5, 2013 by importwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I actually bought a mk1 trigger mount lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Cool!the one in the pic is the model for the MK1. i sold them a second onei had and they made theirs based on my design in the pic above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliConquestAlex Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have the MK1 crank pulley w/trigger wheel and the VR sensor mount as well. Very good products! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 After finally getting the trigger wheel mounted, at some point I managed to not get it exact With my cps adjusted over, at 0, im at half a tooth, to be center on 9t I'm at 2 degree atdc, I can't remember, can megasquirt compensate with adjustments?

psu_Crash Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yes you can compensate for that in MS. Go under spark settings and you can adjust trigger angle to get it spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komeuppance Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Drill out the holes in the bracket where the sensor mounts. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I cant drill it out that way komy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 If you have an Mk1 trigger bracket you should be able to. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliConquestAlex Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 If you are just eyeballing it by counting the teeth, you should be able to get close enough to get the car started using a zero value in the trigger angle adjustment. Then you can dial it in perfectly with a timing light. That's what I did. Just make sure you have trigger wheel and VR sensor orientation correct. For my first EDIS attempt, I just JB welded the ford escort trigger wheel to my stock crank pully and fabbed up a vr sensor mount. It was very crude, but worked for a short time period for testing everything before I upgraded to the MK1 pieces. Note that you should first verify you are seeing cranking RPM in megasquirt before you investigate any trigger wheel angle adjustments. You may have to reverse the wires for the VR sensor to get an RPM signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koyo Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi there! Tell me, to MK1 trigger wheel, if you use a certain crank angle sensor. Now, I have a little trouble! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think you use the one supplied with the wheel? If not, it's a magnetic hall-effect sensor that you can buy online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullzaflare Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 got the car up and running, fuel tune almost complete, got a generic timing map off here. still need to get the tps accel enrich figured out though, got a stumble at low touch (no issues with tps itself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
