I used Ft450 with Chevrolet LS smart coils on my turbo hybrid renesis, they work great no misfires12 psi boost. The trigger settings took a while to get set right and the right timing settings at idle so it would brap..lol
You have to configure the trigger, the one on the RX8 is 32-2-2-2 and you have to be sure that those ECUs, whether you bought them second hand or new, are configured for a production rotary engine and not a piston engine. The Microtech ones are a pain in the ass, or the Haltech ones would work on any of the Elite models, or another Fuel Tech option. They are good for track cars only, but not for the street.
Yeah I went into this blind ha ha but when I spoke with microtech they said that they can program the ecu to read the trigger wheel. They have done a few already so fingers crossed.
Dayymmm what a mission Spending $1200 isn't bad thou, really should just gone link ecu beroooooo 😅 but nah hard this is massive you sorted it out, and factory ecu runs the alternator b.s but hard ur on a roll. Dude
Yeah man it’s done my head in for the past two weeks ha ha . Filmed heaps of stuff but always ended the same . Didn’t work ha ha . So thought so this video so people know what to look out for before committing. But I struggle to explain shit ha ha
@@Madrxsev nah u explained it in simple terms which is massive atleast u figured it out now to w8 for the ecu to come.back what a headache thou have to send it away but it will be done and booyaaaa
@@rotaholikzhds906 yeah I’m excited ha ha just have to wait until clubfest is done and dusted . Trying not to spend anymore money until that’s done with . Sucks hard but is what it is
Mad mission fuk I learnt tht when I done th engine swap bro I used th auto coil 1st wouldn't start swap th coils of th old engine it started stupid as lol mean video bro and bro mean mahi bro hopefully th ecu is sweet after th re tune
Hi Marsh,don’t think you blab on,nothing relevant to my old style rx4,but always learn something from your vids,thanks.
Thanks mate I appreciate that. I’m truly jealous you have an rx4. I love the way they look.
Yeh ,coolest by far in my opinion…

Good work on you for battling through, persisting, and figuring it out.
@@jaredrule1431cheers mate had rcrazy help me out heaps . This shit is too complicated for me ha ha

Could put a fd trigger and pick up the rx8 maybe
I did think that but mounting it to front cover will be a dog.

Shot bro. Yeah man these cars are way too difficult aye. But will get it in the end. Cheers
told you to get a Maxxecu bro 😂 same price and would run everything
No way ha ha gotta love the microtechs
@@Madrxsev you're as stubborn as Andrew 😂
also if only you knew some guys who know tuning and ecu's 🤦
@@thedynoboys2823 I’m way more stubborn than him ha ha . This microtech will be sweet once I get it sorted
@@Madrxsev of course, if it works it works
ha ha ha i just weld shit… ha ha
Well you know.
Just put it in the bin
@@CraigAlexander-m9l ha ha I would if it didn’t owe me so much .
