Why isn't there a Fueltech Forum yet? There are alot of Rotary-Powered cars running Fueltechs.

That's because there is nothing special about wiring it or configuring the software to run a rotary. It was quite simple.

Yes. FT500 has PWM (pulse width modulation), it's on "Idle actuator" window.
Also, this may help in the future:

FuelTech

I made the switch from Haltech to FuelTech so far I think it was worth it. The boost controller in conjunction with CO2 is straight up bad ***. No need to spend on AMS Boost Controller.
Tuning very much similar to Haltech except primary and secondary injectors having their own table. Here is a video of my car starting from the ECU and a pic of my wiring harness.

I can't so enough about my ft500. it's just been flawless. very easy to use. I am very surprised more have not made the switch. the rotary support is top notch. Anderson the owner of fueltech is crazy in love with rotarys too.

Somebody really should make a patch harness to adapt the Fueltech ECU over to the factory FD harness. Once there is an option that doesn't involve a high dollar custom harness or massive amounts of user-wiring this ECU will take off within the rotary community. If I didn't already have a full custom LMS harness setup for my haltech and cdi ignition I'd be going this route for sure.

How does the FuelTech do on a streetcar and can you retain the stock dash? I had heard it was good for drag racing. I still daily mine a lot and rarely if ever go to the dragstrip.

It has plenty of drag race features that usually you'd not need in a street car. Of course you can retain your stock dash. Actually it can replace all the custom gauges we put in our cars like boost, fuel/oil pressure, water temp etc etc. It's pretty neat.

I can make custom patch looms for S5 and up RX-7 and S1 RX-8.

Why don't you just make a support thread like what I did for Emtron? A thread like this doesn't hold water...

I think both platforms are equally capable and that between these two it will primarily come down to software preferance for a capable tuner.

Anybody knows why rpm signal would be set to "12-1(at crank) or 24-1-1(at cam)" instead of "12(at crank) or 24(at cam)"??? I just saw a 13b turbo with that setting. Isn't 12-1 a motorcycle setting?

Because it's using a single sensor with a missing tooth as both ref and sync rather than a 12 tooth wheel and sensor as ref and a second sensor as sync.

Could be a cas with a removed tooth and only using one of the mag pickups. Pop the cap off and look at how many teeth the lower wheel has on it.

I saw this once in a Megasquirt. It's got 2 opposite teeth missing and only 2 wires connected.
