Russian Rotary

[Jamie R]

So my last day of "freedom" start new job Monday.

Been plating bits on the dizzy and on steel parts on the front.

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the rx8 style toothed wheel on the e shaft.

It's our own design with a Hall effect sensor mounted to the bracket by the front engine mount.
It's the same sensor that I use for the speedo on the offside rear hub of the rotus.

The lada is not equipped with a tacho, so it's aftermarket/DIY there too. There is nothing wrong with the stock set up of the trailing coil sending pulses to the stock RX7 gauges.
When you start using modern electronics to control equipment, then old school tech is very "noisy" electrically speaking and is very difficult to determine what is a pulse and what is noise or interference from other electrical items.

So this route was taken. It also acts as a test bed for the Rotangs engine.

You'll notice the Mazda font due to the nod towards the power plant
