5 GT Turbo Bendix AEI

[Bax]

Hoping someone can advise. I understand phase 1 and 2 had the bendix re208/209 AEI unit. Anyone know what the bendix re226 unit was from and what the difference would be? Got this on my GTT and just cannot find out anything about it. TIA

If its a re226, it's NOT a turbo ignition unit

Thanks for the response. How strange - it's definitely RE226.
Could this have been changed to advance the timing for a different cam or something? I'm trying to unpick this engine and can tell the carb's been modified and has a turbotechnics S117 Stage 2 (or at least that's what the label on the actuator says); but not idea what's been changed in the block.

Highly unlikely that it has been fitted to change ign curve, most likely fitted incorrectly when fault finding.

Stick a 209d on, its the best one.

Gotta love the D...

Thanks. I’m going to have to hunt one down. Whilst thinking about it, we have a loud scraping noise from the starter motor on starting which we’ve just replaced but still noisy. Before we replace the flywheel, is there any possibility this noise could be due to this incorrect AEI causing differences to the timing and a mismatch between starter and flywheel? Prob a stupid question…

No.

The noise is down to the missing dowel causing misalignment.

dowell is in there - the flywheel is pretty badly worn so we’re assuming that

Wrong starter motor? Isnt there 2 different tooth patterns?

I’ve got the 9 tooth starter. How do you know if that’s correct or even what the other option was? Thanks
