NickRP Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 We are currently preparing crank trigger setup on a V8 (Thunder ECU will be used). In terms of number of teeth, the following recommendation has so far given perfect results: On 4/3/2018 at 12:26 PM, Adamw said: For the crank, some good rules of thumb are the number of teeth should divide evenly into 360, and the number of cylinders should divide evenly into the number of teeth. We are fabricating a custom trigger wheel (anyway) and wanted to double-check with Link tech support that 40 - 1 teeth crank setup is fine for the V8.

Simon Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yes 40-1 is suitable from our end but is not really a common choice. 36-1or2 or 60-2 are the most common multi tooth missing arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRP Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thank you, Simon, that was a quick reply. Since 8 does not divide evenly into either 36 or 60, does it mean that the second part of the recommendation quoted above actually makes no difference?

Simon Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 The cylinder count dividing in is not critical what is critical is how the tooth count divides into 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
