Ernest,

I have been doing more research.  Can I use a 36-1 trigger wheel on the
Eshaft and enter that information via megatune of tuner studio?  I was also
looking at some older threads in the RX8 .com megasquirt site where they
were trying to get MS to work with the RX8.  Does it matter where the sensor
is mounted with respect to the crank?  Do yoi get responses onthe RX7 club
megasquirt site?

Thanks for any help

I'm using the 36-1 trigger wheel, and can testify that it does work.

The sensor mounting is in relation to the trigger wheel.  Rotate the trigger wheel 23 degrees forces you to rotate the sensor the same 23.  It works the other way to.  You can clock the trigger wheel relative to the crankshaft so that the sensor can be mounted in a more convenient place.  You can add a correction via the tuner software, but that can make things more complicated.

I've had several exchanges with the some of the people on the RX7 Club forums.

The MS is a fairly flexible piece of equipment.  If you could describe what your goals are and how you'd like to accomplish them, what pieces you've settled on so far, then I, and some people much more knowledgeable than I, could offer better advice.
