SPI gearbox transfer case.
Turbo Mini Forums

My mini got SPI transfer case, it has a hole for flywheel sensor. come with a sensor wiring. can i use this to install mega jolt lite instead of using a bracket and toothed damper pully?

I don't think the spi flywheel has the right number of teeth

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

Depends on the fly wheel you use. It needs to be, idealy the later SPi wheel that has the reluctor which is just pressed in, the earlier ones also have two rivots to retain it and can be a bit more difficult.

You need to remove the reluctor and weld on one tooth. Set the engine up to TDC, refit the flywheel and key washer,without the reluctor and mark through the sensor hole as acurately as poss. This gives you your TDC mark(you can set this to what ever you want by turning the crank however many degrees you wish). You can now remove the flywheel and install the reluctor with the missing tooth where your mark is.

Fit the turbo diaphragm to the SPi fly wheel you would have to reposition the reluctor any way for it to work on the SPi

Be warned that if you use the spi diaphragm and then change to the turbo diaphragm Or vice versa, you will have to reposition the reluctor. For some reason Rover thought it clever to change the position of the fixing holes on the Injection clutch by around 30 degrees

I will do a how to topic with pictures shortly as i will be getting ready to change over to the MS ECU towards the end of the year
