NicT Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Will have a finished protoype by the end of next week Laser cutting will begin Monday, should have the face plate ready tuesday and i will machine appropriate parts on the lathe in free time during the week. Will be doing a 20V one after this has been completed. Once we have a working prototype i should be able to have a turn around of 1 - 2 weeks per kit at quite a minimal cost. Let me know what you think and if there is anything you can see that will need improving or something you will see that will not work. Dizzy pointer and cap isnt included in drawing neither is locking nuts for dizzy cap. All critisism welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Is this to move the dizzy from the rear of the head to the front of the engine and run it off the pulleys? Juwt with being unfamilier with those engines I can't really see whats going on. Also, thought they used CAS anyway, is this an earlier gen one or do they all use dizzy's of some nature?

Spencer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 yea so are you running it directly off the exhaust pulley? cutting the dizzy down and fitting a bearing to the lower portion of the shaft? I cant find any pics of the ones i used to make for 20v's I have the solidworks drawings somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant find any pics of the ones i used to make for 20v's I have the solidworks drawings somewhere No bearing, just a spigot on the cam gear and the pointer directly attaching to the spigot. Same principle as a 1uz dizzy. Toyota made an approved, nic stolen and adapted for 3s. All up the cost of the kits are absolutely marginal compared to the 20v ones ive seen for sale in america ($500 USD). I imagine this would be in the ballpark of $150 NZ each.

They all use dizzies. Not sure about the Gen 4's in caldinas but i imagine they are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a pic? on the 20v the lower portion of the shaft is supported by a oiled bush when i did my ones we turned out the lower part of the dizzy housing an put in a bearing. You think the bearing in the top of the dizzy is enough? or the spigout in the cam gear is enough to support it? Anyway keen on pics, there was definitely a small market for the 20v setup i got pms from all over the world with mine. But only made 4-5 as I was at uni.

Did you relocate the whole dizzy to the front of the engine? Mine is essentially attaching a plastic cap onto a cam gear. Weight difference would be the same as going to JUN steel adjustable cam gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 yea I got a piece of alloy spun up, bolted it to the exhaust cam gear. cut the dizzy right down and replaced the brass bush with a bearing. Then laser cut some plates that locate the dizzy in front of the cam gear. I see what your doing now going further and mounting the guts of the dizzy inside your plates that sit essentially in the cam gear correct? nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill show photos when its done and all will become clear. Di d you have any problems with the dizzy running clockwise instead of anticlockwise in its new position? the CAS part of it not get upset?

Spencer Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Na mate thought I would but put a scope on it and the wave forms were the same so chucked it on and it worked, I cant gaurantee the 3s will work the 20v worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 should just be able to swap the polarity of the pickup anyway, I know Link ECUs at the least need to have the wave going the correct way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
