Hi guy's,
I am after some advice,
I have an 851 engine, although at 888cc capacity, I plan to use this in my project build. I have a 1098 loom, clocks and ecu.
I have noticed that the pickup for the 1098 timing sensor has a 3 wire plug, and the 851 has 2. plus another sensor pickup off the flywheel.
After taking the 851 cover off, I can see the sensor "sees" a tab for timing reference on the gear (which are helical). The timing for the 1098 "sees" a gap in the teeth.
I have a later 2 phase cover, susp 748 etc. that has the timing hole further out to read the gap in the teeth from a gear that has the 2 teeth ground back.
On the three different timing gears, the pickup tabs or gaps are in different positions, when the TDC marker dots are aligned with the crank gear.
My questions are,
1, Can I fit the later 2 phase cover with the corresponding 3 wire senor (2 mounting screws) along with the 748 etc timing gears?
2, Will I need to fit a 999 sensor and bore out the cover to fit the diameter of the bigger sensor. Again with 748 gears?
3, Can the ecu be reprogrammed to see that the 748 missing teeth are in a different place to the 1098 teeth when the crank is at TDC?
I am sure there will be more questions, or indeed other factors/scenarios that I have not posted.
Cheers,
Mick
