So far so good....no leaks...
That thing just sits there and drives the oil pump. The cam sensor isn't used for the EDIS8 swap.
DIYautotune sells a trigger wheel for ford balancers for the low- low price of 26.99. The crank sensor will be bought new 25.99 from RockAuto.
All I've got to do then is wire it up and fab a bracket for the crank sensor. The sensor is placed exactly 5 notches after the gap in the trigger wheel. The wheel is 36- 1 and pre balanced. Just drill the premade slots out for the four bolt crank pulley and....space out all the accessories to match the pulleys new position.
Badda bing...Badda boom !!! precise timing...rock solid timing curve =
Not bad for 40 bucks worth of JY parts....and 50- 60 bucks of brand new shiny parts.
Right now, I'm not experiencing any timing issues. My timing depicts what MS commands it to be through the rpm curve....still haven't been above 5 grand.
With mid to late 90s parts getting harder and harder to find I figured now would be as good a time as any to grab up some things. I have a bad habit of collecting for future projects. Seems like so much stuff that I wanted has been discontinued or has become super hard to find.
My oil leaks have been fixed.... so I'll continue to use high temp permatex on oil fittings...and Quick Steel has fixed my oil pan.
I used the smaller one on my balancer,..( which coincidently is the same as your balancer,....i put a sbf balancer on my engine)Sweet! Tanx mang!
@90sickfox So, if you don't mind, a few questions.
On the trigger wheel, did you get the 8" unit, or is the 6 1/2" wheel the one needed??
And a stock replacement sensor from an explorer along with pigtail will work??
I'm sure I'll have more questions..
I drilled and tapped the balancer from behind. I didn't want it to push the pulleys out of alignment. It meant having the center of that trigger wheel completely cut away so the balancer snout (I had no counter weight, I'm zero balanced internal) would stick through. This is the hardest part of the whole deal.....trying to decide to mount the thing up front and deal w/ belt misalignment, or get creative, and mount that thing behind. (You should see how bad it looks,....It's literally an OMG.)Sorry if i missed it, but did you bolt it on after machining? How is it fastened?
Do you know what this means ?
The car runs decent but there's a lot more tuning to do.....and a lot to buy. This is a huge milestone for me. Dusty actually moves, stops, and turns.
Everything else works great ! Brakes are wonderful and it drives and stops under its own power.
Its come a long way. Its a shame I've got to till it gets warmer to finich the body work.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to make a restrictor for my turbo. My old nitrous jets seem to be a different angle than the -4 AN line that came from on3. My jets were in nozzles that -3 AN line screwed on. I can easily machine the brass 90° on3 sent to accept a .063 nitrous jet....but....if the line doesn't seal I'm screwed.
I could always just order one from on3...but I want to make my own....wah wah waaaah ! Lol
I'm not actually pulling my hair out....nor am I actually crying. I think I'm getting used to this. ( sigh of relief )
Someone already thought of this...all I've got to do is shell out a little cash.
