Mike Cullingford Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Could you please tell me how many teeth a stock VK56 has on the crankshaft trigger plate? (there is a profile for triggers in the Link G4 options) I'm helping a friend wire up a VK56 in a R32 skyline. The stock crank trigger disc is on the flywheel, and the pickup is in the bellhousing. With a RB25 gearbox and bell housing being used, we will make up a trigger disc and put it on the front of the crankshaft. To make it work with the preconfigured Link 'VK56' trigger setup, i want to replicate the same amount of teeth. This will help ensure that the VVT setup will not run into problems.

Mike Cullingford Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 It appears that they have a 36 -1 -1 arrangement. Will it matter where the missing tooth is relative to the camshaft position? some information - http://msextra.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=44464&sid=4956d0fb750b900704c858ae76307f26&start=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 You will need to match up factory trigger pattern. So tooth count and location of the gap will need to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Burnett Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just out of curiousity was there any particular reason to not just run a simple 36-1 setup other than wanting to be able to use the preset vk56 selection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
