Rb20 Redtop Cas Trigger Wheel.

Gday,

Just having trouble getting my ems 8860 to spark, its an rb25 headed rb30, the ecu is not triggering the coils even though they have active ign power & good earth & I can hear the injector pulsing. I thought I would look into my cas as it seemed like an odd unit (plug is different too r33), Checking the genuine part number the car has an r31 rb20 early red top crank angle sensor on it. (with the rectangular plug)

My question is is this cas / trigger wheel going to be any different to an r33 & is it advisable for me to use this or change it to the r33 unit or are they interchangeable

It recommends that nissan engines set the trigger wheel from 60btdc back to 5-15btdc, but the car previously had the older dualsport unit on it so I figured it would be allready done. But how would I go about doing this?

Any help would be great otherwise it maybe a job for someone else.

I cant check the timing because the ecu is not triggering the coils, I was thinking this could be way out, but the coils should still fire at some stage, it does sound pretty lumpy when I turn it over.

Also I have put a test light while cranking on the ecu trigger part of the plug on cylinder 1 & it didnt light up, its definately wired up in the correct order.

Really any help on adjustment to the cas trigger wheel if needing to be done would be great.

Sorry about the long post im not stressing out about it just eager to get it to fire and run.

I ended up frying my coilpacks as far as I can tell from bad wiring, I have the cas working properly & its firing the injectors but nothing happening with the coils, I chucked my multimeter into earth & the ecu trigger on coilpack wiring 1 & it was fluctuating under ignition so its getting action, I also got a reading off the ign power & it was showing 12.8v so this is working also.

Looks like im up for some new coilpacks if anyone has some on the cheap brisbane - northside preferably that are working let me no.

The post above doesnt make much sense, obviously the cas' are interchangable other then plugs it was just the coils playing up the whole time.
