i have been offered a haltech e6k off a mates rotor, but i need to know what would be required to make it run a 4agte. to start with i would like to run the standard smallport ignition setup (dizzy,coil,etc) if this is posible?
can i use the smallport temp sensors, tps?
thanks

Ignition system yes, although you might as well use 4 coils. Temp sensors no, but they're easy enough to change anyway, TPS yes.

Yes you can use the temp and TPS on your motor but you will have to get a air-temp sensor ( commodore air temp sensor ) and fit it in your plenum and you can use the standard dissy and ign but you may need to purchase a Haltech RA8 Reluctor Adapter if you have trouble with the trigger input signal , The E6K has a built in Reluctor Adapter but does not always work properly .( But try it first ).

For comparison, the E6X is able to use the standards dizzy reluctors (which are the same big/small), and also the stock TPS as is setup in my car.

Takai - do you have a e6x running on your motor? I just got my hands on one and as i have no previous wiring experience im hoping someone could give me some hints....i dont suppose that person could be u?
I just need to know how to set up triggers , igniters and what pwm is...

thanks heaps to everyone for your input

ok so suppose i was to go for a multi-coil setup, how do i go about it?
can i use coils off any type of car? (vauge memory of ppl using hyundi excel coils?)
what sort of ignition module do i use? (i think in my searches someone said a camira one would work?
would i be better off sourcing a gze crank angle sensor?
if i was to do everything above would that be my ignition system sorted? sorry if these are dum-ass questions but im getting myself very confused, if im totaly off course maybe someone could list some components that would be appropriate? (remember i plan to use the haltech e6k)
thanks

i think that you dont need a crank angle sensor as you can use your dizzy but cut the top of it off.....i saw this somewhere and been told that a CAS is the same thing as dizzy just with no leads....
also if you call a haltech dealer they can recomend coils...the ones im getting are only 110 for 2 twin coil packs...

so they will operate as a wasted spark set-up?

ohh and i checked my closest hatech dealer, bobski you were on the money!

man im in the same boat as u.....i got a e6x sitting on my table...and it hurts every day goes by and its still layin ther
im not 100% sure on if it works with the e6k but if it does then ur in luck
i think that if you look on haltech website
http://www.haltech.com.au/downloads/e6kv9man.pdf
there is a pdf manual u can download...it tells u heaps of interesting shit and a wiring diagram there too

The Dizzy doesn't function EXACTLY the same as a CAS, however it is very similar.
So yes, you can cap off the top of your dizzy, and use only the sensor outputs to tell Haltech that where the engine is at.

so will this only work with a smallport dizzy or a bigport one to?

This is a (dirty) bigport distributor, minus cap & rotor button:
Since it is already locked (no mechanical or vacuum advance, the factory computer controls ignition timing), all you need to do is carefully grind off 3 of the 4 splines on the top section of the shaft. This will become your "home" or synchronisation event to tell the ECU that the next cylinder to fire is #1. The 24 tooth wheel below remains as is, and indicates engine position for timing purposes, as you can see it has its own seperate pickup.
Cheers

ahh cool, picture tells a thousand words. so how do i know which tooth coresponds with #1? or do i just line up the remaning tooth with the sensor when the engine is at tdc? thanks heaps for the info.

Alternative to grinding bits off you can just use a 100kw dizzy which only has the one trigger, and one amplifier unit.
Also for the wiring maybe it could look like this:
