designed a wheel for the 455, figured I'd do one for the 350 too. the 455 took me about 6 hours in autocad (pilot problems) and the 350 took about 20 minutes. was going to have a couple made up to allow me to run megasquirt setup controlling fuel and spark, anybody have an interest? if so I'll have them water cut a few extra wheels when the prototype is proven to work. no idea on price yet, hoping for under $40 but its pretty premature at this point.
Very nice of you to lay out that part. Post some pics of the TR 6 with the 455 in place. I owned quite a few Triumph cars (and motorcyle) back in the 60s.
Jim, Try here: http://www.britishv8.org/Photos-Triumph-Conversions.htm I've got photos of mine squirreled away somewhere, I'll see if I can find them
I am interested in the trigger wheel for sure. Jaramie is building a MPFI 350 and I plan to donate a spare poston intake to the project. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=123874&highlight=fuel+injected+350
ok, anybody else? quotes are coming back in the $30 range for the trigger wheel and the spacer (I've added the spacer to the image above)
was thinking that I should get these done just the other day, I'll see if I can't get 2 made up. if anybody else is still interested please reply again in this thread. please note that these wheels are untested and so far are just designed in autocad based on designs that I've seen so far over at the megasquirt site (www.msefi.com), this will be the first order for 2 that will be made. no reason to think that they won't work but I think it's important to mention that they are untested. thanks for the nudge, I'll keep you posted
Would that work on the 340 just the same? I might be interested in one but I'd like to see what it looks like. btw I looked for your car on britishv8 but didn't find it. Jim
I'm interested too. Even for just electronic spark control modulation. Is it mounted on the front of the crank? Why didn't I see this thread before?
Finally got off my arse and got 2 prototypes ordered, they should be ready to ship by end of the week. I'm going to hang on to one for testing on my side, but I'd like to find someone who has done a full megasquirt install to send the other one to who would be willing and ready to install it so that I can get some feedback. I'd like to confirm that the wheel works for both me and somebody else before making it available -- its not rocket science but I don't want to be offering junk either. That harmonic balancer with all its holes and pins is tough to measure out and get right, we'll see how I did. I made one change to the layout and added the 36th tooth so that you can align the wheel as you please and then file off the tooth that you want for additional control over the installation and placement of the VR sensor. For whatever reason I'm not getting email notifications of new posts in this thread so I'll try to keep an eye peeled on it manually. Price was a bit over $30 each for the wheels, I'm getting them done in SoCal by a waterjet company. As soon as the design is proven I'll post the waterjet company contact info as well as the drawing so that you can either order from the SoCal company or you can take the drawing and provide it to a vendor that you've lined up to get a wheel made. I'm not interested in making any money on it, but I'm also not interested in having someone take the design and make money on it either... But let me get them in and tested first. More to come. If are MS savvy and you feel like you are ready to install right away please post/pm/email me and I'll make arrangements to get you the extra wheel
Yes, between harmonic balance and the pulley, it will move the pulley out 1/4" (1/8" for the wheel, 1/8" for the spacer, spacer is required to clear the bulging rubber between the center and outer on the harmonic balancer)
youre man to contact would be rdj hes the megasquirt man also sean could be of us as they both are working on something. mike
no idea, all I had was the 350a nd 455 balancers to work off of, check the pdf attachment and see what you think. ya, no pictures up there yet, frame is in the shop getting the Nissan R300 LSD diff installed, next is tubbing the frame where they had to cut the frame for the diff, then tub the front to allow the headers and starter to clear, then manufacture the driveshaft and half shafts - gas, oil, water and I should be on the road <right...>
