4k-e Crank Trigger?

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

the 4K-E injected motor what did it use as a crank trigger,

I am injecting and turboeing my 4k-c and would like to know if it was in the dissy or had a reluctor wheel with a sensor.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers Mitch.

yeah after looking at the pic i noticed that what did they use as crank ref and cam sync and where could i locate these things

they didn't have crank ref' and cam sync.. its and old injection system.. just a tach pulse. if you are using stock ECU just mount two lobes on the crank pulley.. 180 deg apart. at about 10 BTDC and slap a VR/Hall sensor on it. if your turboing it, take your stock dizzy apart, lock it, pull out all the point triggering parts. get an aftermarket ECU, do as i said on the crank. this way you can control both fuel and spark for your setup. that's what i'm doing on my 4K-TE..using MSnS Extra (megasquirt)!

thanks mate i have heaps of computers lying around (my dads a dyno tuner)

i was going to make a chopper wheel as you stated i was just wondering if there was any type of chopper wheel on 4k-e's. but theres not so prob solved

You don't need to use a crank trigger for ECU controlled ignition! :P

I'm just using an external ignitor K series electronic dizzy. This gives out a "single pulse" trigger to the ECU (just the same as the crank wheel described would) then the ECU adjusts the timing and gives a trigger to the ignitor to fir the coil.
