If you need heat shielding for that hose hit me up.
I needed a 1' section and could only buy it in 4.5m lengths. Figured i'd use it one day but nooo!
It's aeroflow stuff, expensive but free to you if you need.

Oh and looks sick bro. The blacked out grille surround is a sweet touch.

Thanks man. Honestly, not sure I'll need it.

In general, other then warm up the decrease in oil temp is welcomed. The Oil cooler should help with that, but mountain runs can make the car quite toasty

Fixed the fix. The second medium isn't air, its oil. i.e. water to air intercoolers utilise the first medium to cool the second.

Unless your trying to imply that the oil wont stay inside the engine. In which case, that's not very nice

So I think we may actually use the same trigger settings as the MX5s, they use a 4+2 trigger.

Which from what I can tell is 4 teeht Crank Angle, with 2 magnets on the cam that tell the ecu when to reset and start the firing order again. (i.e. the home).

Yes, that is correct.
I think the 1.6L settings are the best to use from memory.

Interesting did not know this.

Thanks Orion.

I'm hesitant to post this but, expected better communication from CMR and a little more from them given they 'do 10 of these a week'. Didn't know the trigger settings (which is fine) so contacted adaptronic, hadn't even looked at the crank wheel or even the cam wheel to work it out themselves... Just frustrating

I was told by Lordworm that the trigger was 4+3, but quickly realised that it must be false. There are 3 magents on the cam gear. Havnt worked out what the 3rd is for yet, if i had to guess its to mark the 2nd ignition event. Then the two magnets to reset the process as the cam gear turns twice for every revolution of the crank.

There are three pickup points on the cam gear but they are better described as the trigger (single magnet) and 'home' (two magnet) reference points.

Make sure that you ensure a clean signal for the CAS and CKS readings. This can be achieved using RF-insulated tube. Haltech also use a Reluctor module to help clean up the signal.

Im only slightly stuck.

Engine won't crank. I just dont get it. Other then Crank Sensor/Trigger Wheel and the Cam Sensor I dont understand why it wouldn't start other then ECU settings.

The cam gears I got from Orion whom got them from Focus so they should work :/ And the crank wheel AFAIK is brand new.

Hows the brainstorming going?
Any positive results or conclusions reached?

What sounds can you hear?
ie Can you hear/see fuel pump, starter motor, injectors, coils working?

Just trying to see where in the ignition process it gets to. I'm assuming stock ecu as well.

He's got a 440!? Thought about a 12/1 or 36/1 wheel and getting rid of cam crankiness?

I dont have the car infront of me.

Apparently the car starts once and then stops. Going to see what they did regarding wiring for the CKS and CAS.
