Thank you for the reply, that seems reasonably straightforward! I will measure an injector when I get home tonight to see if they are high impedance or not. Really appreciate the support!!

I have had a look at other posts regarding this and whilst I cannot find anything pertaining to a V12, at the risk of proving myself to be a dumb-ass: The firing order is 1-7-5-11-3-9-6-12-2-8-4-10 As there are four injector outputs, would I be correct in assuming that the injectors can be grouped in threes (assuming they do not draw too much current when wired together) and would be wired thus: 1-7-5, 11-3-8, 6-12-2, 8-4-10? and if this is right, is there any particular order of injector outputs these should be wired to? Please bear in mind that at this stage I am only sorting basic installation. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Thanks for the reply - The engine has 2 distributors and I think one crank sensor - and there is what I take to be an inductive sensor on one spark plug lead from each distributor.

I have a Storm G4+ ECU to run a BMW M70 V12. As the Storm has 4 injector drives and the engine has 12 injectors how do I configure the injector wiring? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for that, it was just a thought, didn't appreciate the difference!

Would it be possible to use an ABS sensor for the above or does it need to be a dedicated Hall effect sensor?

Thanks for the reply, no this is not an E46, it does use E39 subframes but no ABS, I could get a signal from an ABS sensor but I understand that there would be too many pulses per revolution for the ECU?

Indeed... sorry about that!!

When you say 'teeth'... I want to fit a speed sensor, I am using a BMW E46 M3 gearbox. The output flange has 3 sectors, it would be easy to mount a hall effect sensor above this coupling to sense these sectors. However, each sector isn't a tooth but represents about 1/6th of a revolution so the sensor would be sensing equal periods of contact and no contact, three per revolution, would this work? I do hope this makes sense!! Thanks for any help

Thank you Adamw and cj for your very informative and helpful reply. The dash is not original to the vehicle (it is a milk float...) but it seems that it can probably be made to work. When I get a bit further down the line I will let you know how I get on.

Hi all I'm new here so please accept my apologies if I am doing something wrong or in the wrong place, I have tried the search method but cannot find anything..... I have a project underway, I have a Storm G4+ (still in the box at this stage!) which will run a BMW M70 V12. The physical engine installation is well under way so I am starting to consider wiring, instruments etc. If I provide a digital speed input to the ECU, will I be able to configure the ECU to drive a CANBUS dash from something like a VW Golf? (I am looking primarily for speedo and tacho function) And if so, whilst the dash donor car would have had 5 cylinders, as the CANBUS drives the tacho presumably it will read the digital engine speed data which would not have reference to number of cylinders? Or am I being naive and it is not that simple?
