Any pictures / comments on using this set up vs changing the flywheel to megane and using the origional crank sensor position ?

I wouldnt do it on a competition car..

Unless you have properly designed brackets, and a machined boss that locates to an indexed point on the crank.

I would change the flywheel.

Unfortunately the crank pulley isn't keyed to the crank, so there's too much room for error if you remove it to work on the engine after mapping. Flywheel for me

Winston has an Alpha ITB setup and uses the auxilary crank pulley that has a bolted on trigger wheel.

There are 2 small bolts holes on the cambelt crank pulley. YOu can drill through the auxilary pulley and then bolt it via that (with a custom trigger wheel on top of that.

The two bolt holes provide a rotational reference point, so no "guessing"

still not ideal, the sensor/wheel is quite exposed out there and can be easily damaged.

Dont get me wrong, ive done similar in the past, but im not a fan of it.

Agreed, dodgy position to say the least!

So so... its protected buy the subframe mainly and with arch liners and a sump guard its pretty safe IMO

4kg flywheel of win :twisted:

still a bubbling under project to make the old renault pattern work. but it's such a low volume market that it's not a priority sadly

maybe not the best. but it works..and works well.

like winston, mine had the trigger wheel, in fact its still on, even tho the bodies have been off for a long time. done various trackdays and local ragging. never had a prob. uses the ford trigger pattern as well. s'all good ;)
