Trabbi

Thanks guys. I've looked into Nodiz which accepts 36-1 or 60-2 trigger wheel only. I've contacted ME to establish if its more expensive ME100 accepts OEM wheels which it seems to do. Worse case scenario I'll use distributor based ignition like Aldon Amethyst or something from 123. Papez, any Skoda box is a huge upgrade to Trabant 1.1 one. They kept very short ratios to limit max. speed. It keeps 4000rpm at 100km/h

Hi Papez Thank you, even if it's bad news for me. From what're writing, I understand I can only pair my engine with Skoda gearbox using flange/adapter and flywheel from 1.6? I'm guessing 1.6 flywheel is thicker to compensate for the adapter ? Would 1.3 gearbox, 1.6 flange and flywheel fit together? I'd be still without the sensor, but ratios are probably more suited for my engine. Thanks again.

Hi Papez Yes, I've seen kits with external pulley and sensor/bracket dedicated to AEE engines, but I'd like to avoid it. Just to doublecheck- 1.3 MPI gearbox with sensor has a trigger wheel and will work with Megajolt/Nodiz and similar? Thanks for the info on Trabbi gearbox. Someone told me that it's based on Favorite.

Hi I wonder if anyone is running no distributor-based ignition using OEM crank sensor? I understand that only 1.3 versions had the sensor installed. Does 1.6 gearbox has the spot to fit it? I'm not a Skoda owner. I'm building my Trabant and planning to use Felicia gearbox. Originally Trabants 1.1 had Favourite based 4 gearboxes so Trabant driveshafts fit Felicia/Favourite gearboxes. Thank you. You've been of great help so far with other info.
