Mark: I am going for the Mercury 2 by Spittronics in South Africa.They support the software for the rotary wankel engine.

Think that they have sorted out the problems over the years.
Simplicity is the answer - don’t want to “reinvent the wheel” lot of guys in racing uses the software in the wankel engins.

Great questions…  I too would like to start back up.   In the previous thread, there was mention of SDS EFI. I’ve been in touch with Ross at SDS and they no longer produce systems for Wankels due to low numbers.   FYI..

So after a few years hiatus of working on the project, I am back at it.

Glasair Super 2 with 4 port RENESIS.

 

Feels good, except I cannot remember all of my plans, nor some of the decisions I made. 2 sets of bell mouths for the intake, obviously one was first… and one was “decided on”

 

I purchased my EC-3 back in 2012. I believe at the time I asked Tracy for RENESIS engine with stock injectors and LS1 coils. Searching through the archives, it seems Finn Lassen found that the EC3 is not programmed correctly to represent that? Or maybe I misread it.

 

All my electronic pieces are still unopened and no work has really been started on installing any of it. I am working on getting all the ancillary systems such as intake, exhaust, oil and cooling setup. 

 

So a few questions for the group:

1) ditch the EC3 and EM3 altogether (and provide it to someone else as a backup) Start acquiring/learning SpeedUino or some other system?

2) continue with what I have (is there some way to validate or change the programming of the EC3?)

3) unrelated: Anyone made the swap to yellow and blue injectors for RENESIS and are happy with their decision? Or stick with red and blue?

 

Appreciate any insights from others' experiences as I get back at this. 

 

Warm regards,

Mark McClure
