lt1 and optispark

Post by krillian »

Hey.

Did a search but was not sure of the outcome..So..

What magic do i need to have and make my S80 pro work with Gm lt1 optispark ignition?

I know it is 360 tooth with no missing and inner circle is 4 different length slots.

Do you have any links to an image of the trigger?

MS gives wiring details.

Although some posts online suggest people simply make a new trigger wheel to suit whatever it is they're doing. If you could get someone to laser cut or waterjet something out with bigger and fewer teeth in a more typical or known pattern

No i have not. Still not hooked up to engine.

Is power to DTA and just trigger sensor input enough to make it work for test/oscilloscope pic?

People make more user friendly wheels for the likes of the Nissan. If they were a similar diameter, they might be an option ?

What diameter is your wheel ?

From stevieturbo's post above, it looks like a variation on the Nissan CAS system. This particular one is not supported.
You would need to get a new one cut/fitted. If you don't want sequential anything, then simply use a 24-2-2 CAS trigger, giving the ECU a 12-2 crank signal.

Yes, that's all that's needed.
