Just looked up a reluctor for an rx7 from autozone. https://m.autozone.com/ignition-tune-up-and-routine-maintenance/reluctor/mazda/rx7
My engine core uses a distributor, and I'm just wondering how hard it would be to retrofit that kind of system to it? Also is the
One in the link any good?
Thanks

Neil,
it consists of a CDI unit triggered by a reluctor, like the one on the Renesis(RX8) engine. The coil is from a GM waste spark ignition. Off course on the single rotor all you need is on trigger tooth. Everything considered, I would use on a two rotor just
two identical systems, still one tooth but two pick ups.
If you talk to the guy at M&W he will help you, real nice.
One thing on the TBI. If you use it on a P-Ported engine and have a tuned intake, it dos take some modifications, for which I did not get any help from Rotec.

Richard you ex patriot,
I know of one bloke who intends to use the Rotec TBI, but none in operation that I know of. More details on your ignition system please. Neil.
Hi in Down Under,
has anybody down there ever tried or used a Rotec TDI on a Rotary engine? It is your local product. This is what I am using on my single rotor after having tried all carb solution I could think off. It also gives you a manual mixture control. Once it was
set up and running right it is always doing that. I also am using a single channel CD ignition system from M&W with a dual output coil. I have no down side found on that setup so far.
FWIW
Richard.
Probably a displaced sentence for Tracy. I only speak Weber...............LEH

Gents,
As always much good advice. What I really miss is Tracy's manual
mixture trim. Tracy I assume it can be resurrected in the new setup??
Lynn, the fixed timing seems to work as you say, Can you alter the
mixture with a trim pot?
