yoeddynz Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Cool. Cheers. Just thinking.. if one was to wire up a relay to the oil pressure switch it would have to be a 'normally on' or two way relay eh. I think.. (from early morning sleepy time electrical circuit planning) Or with a timer just wire it to ignition circuit? No good if someone leaves ignition on though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Got a spare output on the ECU? Set it to switch on when over 500rpm / 50°c coolant temp or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think I do but my fan output was not working so I was going to swap. I must look into this as that's a good idea!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Anybody know of a good injector that I can mount 90 degrees to the air flow? I saw some once that had this plastic deflector looking thing on the end to make the spray go sideways. Also, what cc do I need to run a 2.8 with 4 injectors. I was thinking around 450cc mitsi ones. Future plans include around 5-7 psi also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Factory Altezza injectors are 440cc with a 6 hole nozzle which would probably give a good misting for a 90 deg placement but nothing's going to be ideal for that. You might find that running a larger injector at a shorter pulsewidth and then playing around with injector timing could help, so you spray all of the fuel while the air is flowing into the cylinder rather than beforehand. But that assumes you're not using batch fired injectors. Spraying at 90 deg onto something that isnt hot is less than ideal, factory injector placement generally fires onto the hot port / hot valves to vaporize the fuel and more favourable angle. It probably wouldnt make too much difference to power with 90 deg orientation but you'll likely get some worse fuel economy / idling / etc than you otherwise would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Sorry I should have included more details but it was late. I have 2x su carbs that I want to take the Pistons out of and fit injectors. Tonight I'll put some photos on. It's on a l28. See this page for what I want to copy http://www.pattonmachine.com/TBI-Adapters.htm I want to run 2 injectors per carb. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no I'm talking about the pinnacle of straight 6 engines here. The mighty Nissan L28! I don't want an efi manifold as its going into a 70's car and the twin carb manifold and air box looks original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Im having a brain fart with the trigger wheel. The standard placement puts the VR sensor clockwise 90 degrees from TDC, and the missing tooth is 5 teeth passed the sensor. If i were to move the sensor 270 degrees (so on the other side of the crank, or 90 degrees anti-clokcwise) instead, how would i position the missing tooth then? Still 5 teeth passed sensor, even if the missing tooth is then on or passed the TDC mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 always 5 teeth past the sensor when engine is at TDC so ECU knows whats up. Doesnt matter where the sensor is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 also just found out i can tell the ECU what angle the sensor is at too. Should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 What ECU? After market ones usually have a trigger angle so the position doesn't really matter afaik At least that's how it works with optical dizzy wheel setups, never done a crank trigger one myself.

kws Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Speeduino. The lead dev has advised that i can change the trigger angle so doesnt really matter. Just wasnt too sure as all the land/range rover guys can use the holes at 90deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you mount 6x injectors into the underside of the manifold to help even up fuel to each cylinder and maintain 70's looks. More work yes but would be worthwhile 2 injectors servicing 3 cylinders surely would be almost as bad as su's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to put 2 injectors in each carb now. They can be a bit smaller and make a better mist. Photos to follow when I get some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I see a few of you have toyed with Speeduino, how are you finding it? considering setting one up to run the spark in the Niva so I can do away with the pesky points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Mines still sitting in a bag waiting for me to get my arse into gear and make a loom for the SD1. I have all the bits now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
