    ITBs crank trigger wheel setup

    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

    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
