Tracy,
I have a couple of questions for you about your RV4 Renesis
engine.................Are you using the stock Renesis ignition sensor
and is it mounted mounted on the Renesis front cover
mounting ??..............When the Renesis trigger wheel and sensor are
in the
stock position what is the engine timed at (BTDC) before any
computer (stock and/or EC2-3) correction (static timing) ??..........
Thanks,
Kelly Troyer
Yes, my Renesis has the stock crank position sensor in stock location.
I may not understand your timing question Kelly but there simply is no correlation between the crank position sensor timing and any ignition timing. The computer is just getting an arbitrary (but well defined) crank position from the sensor & trigger wheel. It can make the timing anything it wanted to with that information. Without the computer there can be no such thing as static ignition timing with a trigger pattern from the RX-8 setup.
