ok, so i was originally using the 12a front cover and FC CAS on my renesis. i made that decision for the front motor mount set-up. but i have made side motor mounts due to clearence and i thought it would look better with "stock" location mounts. now that there finished. im definitly keeping the side mounts.



and i am using FD coils anyway. and i have the magnetic pick-up, front cover, alternator, waterpump housing, ect. from an FD. plus a full Greddy pulley kit. so why not use it...



my questions are...



1. i had to use a 13b/12a timing gear because the reni one was a reversed. should i switch back to the Reni one? or dosnt matter...?

2. im not going to use the OMP. should i remove all the gearing from the inside too? or leave it...

3. tuning/wiring wise...since i'll be using an FD ignitor/coils/crank trigger it should be better?

ok...after reading what i wrote. its a little confusing. i'll make it more clear.







1. i had to use a 13b/12a timing gear because the reni one was a reversed. should i switch back to the Reni one? or dosnt matter...? (((whatdoes the timing gear do when there is no CAS???)))

2. im not going to use the OMP. should i remove all the gearing from the inside too? or leave it...

3. will i have any problems using the FD front cover with the crank trigger while using an aftermarket FC front pulley.

1. its a spacer too

2. easier just to leave it, if its pulled the oil passage needs to be plugged in the iron

3. as long as you can fit the FD cas/pickup ring thing, use any pulley you want
