ever since i have got my eprom burner it has got me thinking. what else could you adapt the loom to. i have a 13b rotary to put in my mazda 929 two door hopefully some time this year. and i was thinking, seeing rotary's run two rotors and 3 firing points per rotor that sort of makes the same sparking as as a 6 cylinder.. and as the vn's run two injector drivers and some injection setups ya buy for rotary's run two injectors.. i would think ya would then have to get a crank sensor to run in place of the distributer which are quite easy to find. then run a couple of single coils packs, (Which i have off a ca18).
this is probably wasteing anybody's time who is reading this but it was just a thought of maybe a cheap way or injecting my mazda for when i turbo it. then i wouldn't have to go the draw through turbo setup..
i am sure there are many things i havn't taken into account that i odn't know about but i thought it may be possible thats all. and now seeing how tuneable the delco ecu's are i thought it would be alright to use a delco..

just had another thought that might stuff things up... rotarys have a funn firing order. where they run two spark plugs each rotor. i can't remember properly but i think the top fires first then the bottom then maybe the top straight after. it is a funny old setup.. so yeah maybe it would be a lot easier to get a mazda ecu???

the 808 has been used on just about anything, its just a matter of setting up crank sensing & firing bits & pieces, & getting it to run.lol
fairly straight forward.

well i spose it is something to think about then.. i was just thinking about it. and each revoloution of a roary motor it will spark 18 times. i am pretty sure that is right. i was looking at a thing on some web site about how they worked. and i do remember one plug did spark twice. but i spose part of that would be built into the crank angle sensor i spose.. i know the rotor buttons on my distrubutor is a cranky looking thing..

Firing order will stuff you up.
They're quite strange.

From memory, one top, then it's bottom fires, but slightly after the first one top fires the second top fires, and then the bottom on it fires, kinda like top-top --- bottom - bottom

As Bob has said the delco has been used to fire lots of different engines. I have seen on a website somewhere a Harley that was modded to run the delco set up. These run a odd firing set up due to the angle of the cylinders. I am pretty sure it was on the kalmaker website.

The firing order has nothing to do with anything, the rotors run a dizzy that will control all that anyway right? so don't worry about that

yeah i was thinking that. but i wasn't sure. i might just have a go at it one day. i reckon it would be a cheap way of fuel injecting it. then again ya would have to use the delco compatable sensors though. wouldn't ya..
