John PRICE is building it lee, a lot of nail bitting coming up next year i reckon with the efi, using Adaptronic with scoff doing the mapping, everything for the efi is fabricated ready but ill stay with the standard set-up for running in, just hope its worth it in the end, i have the chance of a genuine TDC gearbox, but at a price :shock: cant help thinking that would be over kill for a road car :?
pic below is the bits temp bolted up on the old engine, will prob need some mods :?

Scoff da man 8)
Pulley trigger wheel as you've done and it'll be fine .The Adapt just doesn't like the Ren patterns, end of :lol:
My Adapt doesn't miss a beat these days and is certainly more powerful .I need to get the fecked turbo rebuilt then fit the big injectors and get Scoff to fine-tune it .Run out of tuning dosh now though so next year I reckon .
Might strip JIL down and prep her for a Pikey spray job over the winter .

Strange with the adaptronic not liking the Ren pattern, talking of running out of tuning dosh, tell me :wink: ime sure theres a lot of cheaper ways out there to get some enjoyment.
Jil looks like shes getting sorted Lee, looking at some of the vids, looks reallly good, Pikey FAT TURBO paint job :evil: :)

Thanks for the comments, just hope it will go as well as it looks. also hoping that ime going in the right direction with the efi against a tdc set-up :? oh well------------------------suppose time will tell.

Still thinking with the TDC close ratio box, is it over kill for a road car? the expence :shock: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :?

There's no way of describing it in the setup - you can only configure no of teeth, which ones are missing and where they are. There's no provision for "joined up" teeth.

I've done it by modding the flywheel to remove the join, and many thousands of miles have been cumulatively racked up by the DeLoreans with this setup.

Fitting a trigger wheel is just as valid, and the generic sensor is better too.
