LS1 trigger wheels

Post by pugwash »

Has anyone got a solution to the trigger wheel issue with lS1s?

I really don't want to drop the Crankshaft just to change the triggerwheel- is there another way round this seeing as the nose of the crank doesn't have any sort of key to fix a new wheel to?

Hvae tried searching all over the place and just can't come up with anything apart form changing the wheel on the crank.

Any pointers or help in the right direction are very much appreciated

thanks

This has been discussed quite recently on one of my boards.

Here's a pic of the crank drilled for a pin:

LOL Eliot

have you noticed any similarity betwen the usernames asking the questions (it's a small world).

you might also remember an email you received regarding marsk4wd 4L80e to LT230 adaptors- guess who that was from lol

[EDITED to say: But thank you very much for the pointers anyway]

Depending on whether you monitor rising or falling edge, the LS1 crank signal is either an even 24 pulse per revolution wheel (or 58x on the new LS2/7/etc.) -- or its a unique long/short pulse sequence for each quadrant of crankshaft rotation.

I made this for my saturn. Its a ford edis trigger wheel mounted to the stock pulley. It wasn't that hard to do...just gotta know the right people with the right laser :wink:

I'm pretty sure that you could do something similar with whatever type of wheel you need.
