just get it as close as possible really think its something like 1.5mm. Il just get feeler gauges on my mates x16 nova and set it to that see how it goes. Only other thing im stuck on is the out puts for idle control and boost but i can make it run without them il just pester broster to help me figure them out

right here we go the original crank sensor has been causng me an arse as its inside the block so will be a pain for me to set the timing on the ecu plus i cant figure out the wiring for it.
original pulley without teeth for a sensor
x16 pulley with crank sensor teeth
only problem was it wouldnt go on due to the plastic cover behind it with a silly lip on it
bit of grinder action later and it looked like this.
much better.
pulley and cover now back on
need to re drill the pulley now so its sits 180 degrees to what it is now so i can mount the sensor at the front of the engine. just makes life easier as the alt is low down and theres no where to mount the sensor. got one ordered should have it with me tomorrow. then need to make a bracket for it.
also shoved the courtenay tb on. could do with a repaint though as it looks a bit shitty and i cant have that
a good nights work to be fair and i have pizza in the oven and a beer in the fridge so im a happy chappy.
