COP with Turbo distributor

[HB280ZT]

Hi All,

 

I remember seeing a thread that talked about using an 82/83 turbo distributor with modified wheel to run a COP setup using MS. But for some reason and I searched I can find it anymore.

 

So if anyone has done this please tell us and show us how you all did this and how it is working out. I know a crank trigger is better but at this time I have parts for the distributor and not the money or space for the crank trigger setup.

 

Thanks for the help.

Hi All,

 

Well I am getting closer to a COP setup on my Z. I have the coils mounted

 

 

However, I can not seem to get it running in a wasted spark configuration.

 

So I now need to try it in a sequentail mode and I need help with the wiring and MS configuration. I have looked at several of the MS sites and they show how to do some of the setup but not all of it so?

 

Matt has been helping me but I really need pictures of the wiring if someone here has done it already.

 

Here is some of my setup:

 

Custom distributor wheel

6 LS1 truck coils

Spark A, B and C is using a ground switching configuration like this:

 

 

What I really need to know is how to hook up the last 3 spark signals in the ground switching configuration?

 

Thanks for the help.

i am getting rid of dizzy on my 81zxt motor because of 5 degree slop in timing gears showing up when checking timing.i modded a 90 tooth 81 zxt front crank wheel to a 30tooth and use a cherry gear tooth sensor.building cop coil bracket right now.i used to use 3 magnets in the flywheel.

If I remember correctly, that modification only worked for Wolf EMS.

If you want to run megasquirt with it, you need to make the outer ring a "X"-1 wheel of a multiple of six either by filling in the correct number of slats in the 360 deg wheel or having a custom one made.

 

Or if you have an MS2-Extra setup, there is alpha (possibly beta+ now) code available that is capable of reading the new-er Nissan trigger wheels on what I believe is the leading edge which will let you run COP. You could then modify the trigger wheel onto the CAS or run a CAS from those cars.
