2G: 1g CAS with Kiggly Crank Trigger

[snapz]

First off, thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum. It's helped me tremendously in my dsm projects.

I have a 97 gsx and finishing up my 6 bolt swap. It has the Kiggly crank sensor on it and a black 4wire 1g CAS. My ? is since I'm using the Kiggly CPS sensor, what's the proper way to wire the 4 wire 1g CAS to my 3 wire 2g harness plug without tapping into the CPS wires like the RRE and Magnus harnesses do? Surely I don't still wire it the same way while using the Kiggly cps, right?. I've read and read about the 1g cas in a 2g, but can't find this answer. Everything I've found is in regard to not running a CPS. Thanks in advance. TJ

You need to use the original 2G cam sensor when using Kiggly's 6-bolt crank sensor: Kiggly 6-bolt crank trigger sensor.

The email Kevin sent me prior to purchasing the trigger was as follows:

You can use either the 1g or 2g CAS that mounts on the far end of the head along with our crank trigger sensor.

So I chose to go the 1g route, to avoid tapping the end of the cam. Seems rewiring the 1g CAS would be faster and easier. Could I just swap the 2g cams into the 1g head?

If you have the 97+ intake cam and cam sensor on hand, I would use those.

I'd rather use the 1gCAS for now instead of having to reset the timing, it's a pain with the 2g mount on the 6bolt. Anyway here's what I'm thinking. Looking at RRE's drawing could I just wire it as follows?


1gCAS wire 1 to 2gCAS Plug 2
1gCAS wire 3 to 2gCAS Plug 1
1gCAS wire 4 to 2gCAS Plug 3


Seems all you need is Signal, + and - so I don't see why that wouldn't work. Just ignore the CPS wiring. I've been considering this but wanted some advice on the wiring first. Anybody see a problem with this wiring?

[19Eclipse90]

In that case, I don't see any problems with it even though it isn't my personal preference. Have at it and let us know how it turns out.

Snapz any word on how this worked out? I am have the same problem with my car on the same set up.

Oops guess i should have updated this. It worked perfectly like I suggested. never had an issue out of it.

Just wondering if you ever ran your car without the kiggly if you noticed a difference

did u get any random misfire using the kiggly crank sensor with the 1g cas??

I only got to run the motor for a month or so before tranny went out. I can't say for sure how it will turn out for the long haul but for the time I was driving it it worked fine with no issues. Tranny will be rebuilt this summer so I'll know more about the sensor after then.

Snapz any updates on this? How does the car feel like hisandherturbo says?

I'm in the middle of the Kiggly install and for future reference, I choose to keep the 1g CAS. Reason being, if the Kiggly sensor fails, all I'd have to do is cut the blue wire and hook it back up to the 1g CAS crank output and be on my way. Secondly, for those who use adjustable cam gears it would end up changing (injector or spark cant remember) timing if adjusting the intake cam, so being adjustable is pretty important.

If I remember I'll update this thread in a few weeks to how the sensor works out.
