Muythaibxr, any progress in getting this done? There are quite of few people doing swaps like I did with mine, and as I've done quite a few of these. I keep telling them what a great ecu the ms3 pro is, the autotune kicks @ss, BUT, unfortunately it won't work with a vr sensor in a different position. I have a guy from Calgary at the moment who has a rx8 and is putting a FD engine and wants a single package of using the ffe trigger kit for the fd cover with a 36-2-2-2 but it has the sensor clocked at the 12'o'clock stock position. I have to keep telling them that I'll inform them when you guys come out with a revision. Thanks!muythaibxr wrote:We were already planning to make it adjustable, it was just a matter of when.

As with any trigger wheel, the sensor position alone doesn't matter. It is only the phasing between the wheel pattern and the sensor that matters.spyrstas wrote: but it has the sensor clocked at the 12'o'clock stock position.

Re: Trigger angle alteration for 36-2-2-2 (MS3-PRO)
Honestly, if you want that flexibility now, use the ffe 36-1 kit. It has more teeth, so timing will be more accurate, and it isn't meant specifically for 1 or 2 engines in stock form.
Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.
Re: Trigger angle alteration for 36-2-2-2 (MS3-PRO)
I would have done that to begin with if it was possible! The problem is that on the RX8, power steering, tach gauge, and a couple of other things are controlled by the ecu which needs to read 36-2-2-2 pattern input from the e-shaft.muythaibxr wrote:Honestly, if you want that flexibility now, use the ffe 36-1 kit.

Ah, didn't realize you were running piggyback.

Adjusting the offset to allow +/-50 deg from standard is _probably_ OK. I know that allowing +360 deg did not work correctly. That's why as Ken mentioned a number of posts ago that we are wary to change it - there might be unexpected side-effects.

Most RX-8 installations are piggybacks due to DBW, EPS and CAN-based gauge cluster.

Re: Trigger angle alteration for 36-2-2-2 (MS3-PRO)
Hey James, 50degrees would work for my application using a stock FC cover setup with the aftermarket trigger kit, and also a S2 stock setup. It wouldn't work for a FD cover setup with the aftermarket kit-although this doesn't matter to me. When could this possibly be added? I'd like to re-install the trigger kit. It's not that this is being used as a piggyback system, the ms3 is being used as a full standalone, while the rx8's oem is still in there but has nothing connected to it except for getting the crank trigger signal for the hydro-electric power steering to work Reverant απο που εισαι φιλε?

That's fine(mine is about 45deg from the standard, any chance in getting this now?jsmcortina wrote:Adjusting the offset to allow +/-50 deg from standard is _probably_ OK.

Why don't they make a wheel that matches the front cover it's used on?jsmcortina wrote:As with any trigger wheel, the sensor position alone doesn't matter.
