Minispeed Trigger Wheel
Turbo Mini Forums

if your using an EDIS pack then yes, 90 degs before the sensor.

heres the crank sensor and adaptor..



the two holes on the right of the adaptor bolt onto the back of the timing cover at the front of the engine, the lower hole puts the sensor infront of the belt, the upper behind the belt. the allen bolts allow you to adjust the distance from the trigger wheel.

or something like that. i'll offer it up tonight.

fair play, the crank sensor mount looks very neat and tidy!

Team Racing

£100 sounds like a really good deal for the polewheel and mount, bracket and sensor. Something good from Minispeed at long last!

So does the crank sensor in this application look 'across' the teeth? As in other stuff I have worked on the crank sensor usually looks 'radially' at them (if that makes sense...)

I suppose as long as it sees the tooth/gap then it does not matter which way round it is looking.

y know what you mean, this looks across the teeth, i'm off into the garage in a mo so will take a snap.

at first £100 seems a lot for that both bits look very well made and at least save you some effort.
looks nice, get some pics up when its installed
DAN:)

turns out the wheel and adaptor are from KAD, had a look at their site and the picture shows i only got half the adaptor...



and whats more Minispeed are refusing to tell me what crank sensor it is, so i've now passed it to my Trading Standards freind.

In the meantime, anyone recognise what sensor it is? Long shot i know..

Mike i might be wrong but i think you need to use the FORD sensor in your picture above when using the MegaSquirt kit.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

its only on the picture as i got it with the EDIS pack, its not the sensor the adaptor was designed for, and bloody minispares wont tell me which one to use and want £50 for it.

I've contacted KAD inthe hope they can assist me.

that sensor in your picture looks the same as one off a ford fiesta, bolts in one the front of the block facing the flywheel

sounds about right, but its the sensor in the other picture i want to know :)

AH HA!! just got a reply back from KAD, they can supply the sensor and the missing bracket for £30, so shove that up your ass minispeed, they wanted £50 just for the sensor! You just lost yet another customer.

KAD are always good, i snapped my adjustable engine steady (the LH threaded end, ill let you think how i did it! doh!) i posted it to them and they got the old bit out, put a new tie rod end in and then posted it back for a fiver! Cracking service i must say!!

Wonder what the price on a complete unit would be? Might have to see if they do trade discount!

Mike - How about changing the title of this post, and giving us an overview of exactly what you can get direct from KAD for what money...

working on it....

ok, the whole kit (trigger wheel, timing case adaptor, sensor and sensor bracket) is £99.50 inc vat. Bear in mind this is built to KAD's usual high quality, a worthwile purchase for us ECU chaps i think.

hmm so i take it your a little annoyed with minispeed?

hm, ripped off with an incomplete kit that cost more than a complete one, if only i knew KAD did them beforehand. I'll be contacting MiniSpeed next week with regards to shipping me the rest of the kit, but whats the bet i wont get anywhere.

unfortuately this post inspired me to blow my life savings on one of these kits, now i can tell you that the sensor is a magnetti marletti (or what ever) sensor off a cossie

I seem to recall that the speedo in my dad's Fiat Ducato was Magneti Marelli

Proper Italian quality products!!!!

Grey - we're talking about the BLACK sensor? The white one is what's used on the cosworths.

oh fuck me im confused!
i said that a few posts up but mike said he was talking about the sensor in the other pictures

anyhow dunno if its the same with the megasquirt but the cosworth doesnt work with the megajolt sysytem/my edis modle from a fiesta

the wiring fits, but it wont register with the unit, so i made up this handy 18mm spacer and.....

fuck me, where did u get that goldy/bronzy adaptor?

the plate is the kad thing, very simple just a flat bit of metal bent, with suitable holes

then i used the off cut from a set of motorbike handle bars that has been lying around the garage for 7yrs and trimmed it down on my lathe

all nicely in matching gold too!

to hold on the trigger wheel is it just a case of tightening up the centre nut (that takes a C spanner)?

the kad setup may of cost alot, but it allowed me to do 3 weekends work in 1 morning
