GaryZ Posted November 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2011 My question for today is; Will a 1200 Vmax TCI plug-n-play on my 1985 Venture? It seems to make sense because I have Vmax cams . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted November 17, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 17, 2011 I was thinking it would but we better wait for the experts. I think it will.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted November 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 17, 2011 Hmmmm! Might work, the response curve would be different but seeing as you have VMax cams that might be a good thing. I guess the answer would be does the VMax have dual pickups like your '85 has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the answer would be does the VMax have dual pickups like your '85 has... I checked the 1995 Vmax circuit diagrams and found they show the same dual-pick up/4x as shown in the 1985 VR. Can I assume all 1200 Vmax's were the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted November 17, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 17, 2011 VMax went to the single pickup coil in 1990, same year as the Venture did. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingy Posted November 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted November 19, 2011 Replace rotor, stator cover, pick-up coils, TCI. Probably tweak the wiring harness a little. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryZ Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted November 19, 2011 Gary, I researched the parts that you mentioned. The goal is to have one pick-up coil instead of four. Could one of my pick-up coils be physically located in the same spot as the single coil? Couldn't I re-wire the harness? Do you have any Universal TCI Kits left for a Vmax?

I think you have about a snowballs chance in Hell of that working. Chance of either one of the rotor lobes and one of the 4 timing coils having the proper alignment to match what was done on the 90-93 are extremely slim. But then people play the lottery ever day with a million to one chance at hitting. Wiring harness would by far be the easiest part. Since there is zero adjustment in the timing at the pickup coils the lobe & coil would have to be perfect to match a stock TCI. The Ignitech unit would probably be doable as the timing is adjustable in the TCI via a computer hookup. It would be an interesting and probably frustrating project though.
