str8pipez Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Anyone have pics or drawings of mounting a DIY trigger wheel while maintaining the factory A/C? I have an idea but would like to see what others have done. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryant67 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Going to check on my car tomorrow hopefully, so if no one else has provided you anything before then, I will take some pics and throw them on here for you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris83zxt Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 By DIY trigger wheel you're referring to the disc sold by DIYautotune on an 82/83 dizzy or a true DIY wheel for the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8pipez Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I'm looking for the wheel mounted to the crank for an EDIS set up, the 6.75" wheel sold by DIY. Edited January 2, 2014 by str8pipez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowrider Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Here is my first setup: I made this setup before I had AC, I essentially followed a thread here and turned down the AC pulley groove and pressed on a trigger wheel from a Ford Escort. I fabed the pickup mount from aluminum sheet. I decided to put AC on the car, so I had to replace the trigger i already had. I took the idea from a member here that sold inserts for the 280Z dampener. I found a stock insert for a third groove that fit a spare dampener. I turned the groove down in the lathe and put another Escort wheel on it. I messed up the press fit so I had to weld it on. The only modification I had to make was to space the pickup out. I don't have any pics of the new setup, but I do have some of the insert. *edit I may I have misinterpreted the "DIY trigger wheel" portion of your post. lol Edited January 2, 2014 by lowrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make a piece from aluminum that bolts on behind the crank bolt (and replace the steel washer) and tap it to match the DIY wheel and bolt it on with button head allens. Very similar to your set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is the DIY wheel mounted to the turbo crank pulley. It could be ran with a/c with the vr sensor mounted on the other side of the "left" side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be ran with a/c with the vr sensor mounted on the other side of the "left" side. Is yours done like the below? I suppose with the method below you could skip drilling into the back of the pulley, and instead use a "plate" on the back on the trigger wheel mount with a hole in it and put the crank bolt through and tighten it down. You could actually do it without even removing the crank pulley, just the bolt. Either way I have a spare motor on a stand and parts on the way so we will see how it goes! http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/67576-new-edis-crank-angle-sensor-mount/?hl=%2Bcrankshaft+%2Bsensor&do=findComment&comment=639742 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb3562 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very similar, but I turned down the second row of my pulley, as I'm not running a/c. However, a hub could be made to bolt to the pulley and then to the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
