8+2 trigger cosworth
« on: March 23, 2011, 03:10:56 pm »
Got a request for a cosworth engine, and I`m wondering if anyone ever tested this trigger?

I think the engine got a 4 tooth crank trigger, and two windows in the distrebutor. Both VR sensors? Could anyone confirm this?

In vemstune we got the lancia cosworth trigger wich seems to be the same trigger as this. But I`ve heard that there`s been some problems with this trigger in the past, and that some grinding at the secondary trigger is needed to convert it to a 8+1 trigger.

Yes both vr, but not tested with newest firmwares. You find some info here:

We use 36-1 on crank pulley with wasted spark coil.

I'm using 60-2 on crank (was easy to make, had old bmw trigger wheel), and for sec trigger grinded one tooth from distributor. Working just perfect. Both are VR sensors.
If you have everything under control, you\\\'re not fast enough!
