Nice work, love the way the car looks.
Love this car. Great story telling.
let me do it for ya, because im proud to show to TB audience ,,the baby of our unique ingenuity??Not much happened to brownie the last few weeks, but I finally finished university so I can start working and earn money for +Teee and other fun adventures/projects.
Last weekend was super busy, 12david34 came to LH2.4 swap his 245. Fortunately wiring-wise it was easy as the whole wiring came from his donor car. Fab wise just the usual stuff that is needed from k-jet to LH, few holes, threads here and there.
David did a good job collecting all the parts:

However he wanted to keep the flat flywheel, and wanted to do the swap without removing the engine-trans from the car. So thats why i designed this trigger wheel setup:

It has the same 60-2 layout as the flywheel, just on a smaller diameter. Its super easy to align it, just turn the crank to the tdc alignment mark on the pulley, line up the alignment mark with the sensor and torque the little screws. I was a bit worried about the size difference between the flywheel and this, that it may wont even make good enough signal to LH... But eventually it started on first try! Sounded, idled great, at monday 2am! We were so tired that we just left everything there and went to sleep.
Next day we finished the conversion and went on a testrun. We immediately noticed that its loosing signal around 4500rpm. Felt like a dead stop there. Back to the garage and it seemed that the sensor made contact with the wheel. Whoops! It needed a little more gap, and a rocksolid mount. It felt promising that the only fault code it showed was the crank sensor.
Well the rocksolid mount took a whole afternoon to make, and it became so ugly that i wont even show it there.
The swap already took longer than we planned, and David had to go to work on tuesday... Quick testrun again and the engine finally revved up to revlimit nicely, not loosing signal, not showing any fault codes. So we were happy that it finally worked as it should and David left at monday 9pm... Car did fine on the way back, not missing a beat!
Only needs the idle fixed because its a little funky (but still better than k-jet) and a proper mounting of the crank sensor.
Mind sharing the .dwg file for that little piece of art?
I sent you a PM!
Thanks!
Interested to see the solution for the mount.
some proper sliding. should definitely stiffen suspension though!
