ZXT_bean Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 First I would like to Thank Derek for taking the time to make such a great bolt on setup. It worked out great!! The thread to these parts are here http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=140644 I used the crank pulley from my 81 zxt. I soon realized that the hub adapter would not fit with the front pulley. So only using a hack saw, I cut off 1 of the 3 pulleys. It just so happens to be that it is used for my power steering. So I will have to work some thing out for that. You notice that there is a 5 bolt pattern, well those bolts come through the other side. they hold on the first pulley. Well it just so happens that any 1 of those 5 will line up with the holes on the hub adapter. So I used 4 short bolts, and 1 longer bolt to hold the adapter from spinning. Ok, now that the hub adapter is all ready to go. Lets turn our attention to the VR sensor mount. It was a bolt on part. Bolts right onto the timing cover. The only issue I had was the length of the mount. I had to use some nylon spacers to bring it out to the correct location. And here is a picture of it all finished up! I want to Thank Derek one more time for making some killer parts! **edit** I have not yet clocked the sensor to the 36-1 wheel. **edit** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 creative. Curious as to why you didn't get a 280z pulley to use instead of hacking up your ZX pulley. Either way you got it done. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's hell being a pioneer. Wow a hacksaw to the pulley! Your a better man than I am. You did say you'd make it work though. I guess the offset on your damper is a little different. I'm glad you were able to make it work though. Thanks again Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators BRAAP Posted February 1, 2009 Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2009 Nice work! Good to see more of you guys using EDIS-6. How much clearance do you have between the heads of the bolts for the trigger wheel adapter on the back of the damper and the front cover/oil pump? I seem to recall that being a pretty tight space. Again, nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Derek well I was out of sawzall blades, and really didnt want to hack it up with a cut off wheel. So I had to resort to good ol fashioned man power!! Nice work!

I seem to recall that being a pretty tight space. Again, nice work. well because im using an 81' crank pulley, and we all know that the 81' was the only year to use a crank trigger rather than the 82-83 which had the sensor built into the dizzy. so those 5 mounting bolts were there to hold the original trigger wheel. Id say with the trigger wheel now gone, there would be even more clearance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXT_bean Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well I have already figured out the power steering issue. I used the power steering pulley off of my 80' N/A motor. both the water pump and the PS pulley have the same bolt pattern, and are also both the same exact size! Woo Hooo!! So in the same fashion, but instead of nylon, I will use some thing else, but I am going to be able to bolt both of the pulleys together and now I no longer have to relocate my PS pump.! All I have to do is get a little bit shorter belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm putting together an instruction sheet for this installation. I'm running a little behind! One observation that I made is the 1/4 20 indexing bolts don't need to be in there. The torque of the crank bolt is more than enough to keep it from spinning. That's the recommendation I'll be making in the instructions after disassembling mine. derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZXT_bean Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 now as for the firing order.. i think i got it right.. cly 1/6-2/5-3/4... ive made this drawing to help understand. if it is wrong please lmk! im using the ford coil pack.

Correct. Cylinders 1-6 paired to the first firing coil; Cylinders 2-5 paired on the next firing coil; Cylinders 3-4 paired up on the last firing coil.
