E6s vs E6k
hi, sorry if this has been discussed like 50 times but i want to know what's the difference on this 2 ecu's, im looking to buy a standalone and this computers are on my reach but being the E6s the previous version of the e6k(i think) i want to know what are the differences and if i will have no problem if either i stick with the E6s or E6k.
thanks for the help

1. K has better comm speed
2. K has faster processor (i think)
3. K has 4 PWM outputs the S doesnt
4. K can be configured completely through software, the S has to be tweaked through dip switches and jumpers in the board.
So, there you go.
K technically is better, BUT!, the S will work just as good, minous the additional features.

Although from what i know, its only on the last production runs of the S, so, maybe the last 1000 units to be made worked with most ignitions?
I've installed a couple of S so i can tell you it does work when set right, its just like playing with the Gain settings in the X or K software.

The E6S has a questionable internal reluctor set-up.
I've never heard of people having too much luck with the E6S with RX-7 stock ignition triggers.
We've always had to resort to a pair of MSD 8509's (ala E6A).
It's worth it just to go with the E6K cause of their internal reluctors, since the E6K internals are rock-solid with the RX-7 ignition components.

At any rate, the MSD8509 boxes do provide a much better, more compatible hall effect signal for the haltech to read from.
Its like the thing with the X in the begining, people were setting them up as if they were Ks and that just cause a whole lot of problems. Its the same thing here, when properly set they will work perfectly.

Nah, not a pissing costest.
The added info is always welcome.
You're right.
The E6S boxes we messed with were very early production #'s.
It was easy to install the 8509's since the cars already had a previous E6A installed.
Our initial tries with the E6S internal reluctor was pretty bad.

not 6al ignition boxes.... you need 2 MSD 8509 boxes. They dont do anything but change the wave from the cas to the "Hall Effect" wave. Just msg me if u get the boxes with e6s. I can help you wire it up.

Ideally you will need 2 MSD 8509s, or one RA10 Haltech reluctor adapter. And i just did this recently with an S i had lying around and found out that you can trigger the stock igniters with it, it didnt have the Constant Charge setup work right, so to fire your RX-7 properly you will need to have 3x MSD 6A ignition boxes for that to work. I had that on my car years ago and it worked fine, its just a big demand on the electrical system on those cars.
