I am going to run a Motec M800 on my new RB26 engine build, and over here in the UK someone has logged scatter of up to 10 crankshaft degrees from the stock CAS sensor. I was therefore considering using the CAS as just a cam position sensor, and using a crank trigger wheel for crank position, with a dedicated sensor. Have many here done that, and if so, are they willing to show how they designed the set up? I know Hugh Keir in the UK used the 18 OS Giken clutch to flywheel bolt heads as a 18 "tooth" trigger, but I think I prefer a front mounted assembly. Thanks.

here's mine. custom made crank pulley with intergrated trigger wheel. using ABS(antilock-braking system) sensor as pickup sensor. no chance to snap post-installation pic. too tight in there. will post up a pic once i have the chance...

take note that at the time of snapping pic, the "missing tooth" has not been cut as the pulley has not been installed on engine... cant determine TDC yet...

now running smoothly.

hope it helps...

Thanks for that, a nice bit of machining, but are you not concerned about running an in lijne 6 with no crank damper? Cheers.

ok. in order to get a clean rpm signal with my autronic smc. i had to use a crank trigger. its a 3 tooth trigger. basicly 3 windows machined into the crank pully. with a 3 wire hall sensor. and works a treat. still using the factory cas for 1 cyl sync.

the sensor is mounted off the oil pump sump blots on a bracket. and the windows are about 20mm wide and 4mm deep.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
