New trigger wheel

Just received the redesigned trigger wheel. There wheel has always been excellent but the improvements are great.

There are 5 or 6 guys in my area using these trigger wheels. All are happy campers. If any one is on the fence about going with one of these, GET one.

Thanks for the great service.

Now to turn the boost up and run a low 9....

There was a stamped logo. and the legs from the wheel to the "holder" were made larger. Nothing wrong with the old ones. I just like how robust the new ones are.

How necessary are these? I like the idea of better resolution for the ecu. Doesnt seem very expensive, worth it on a 500hp car?

Wouldn't have a 500+ HP rotary without one! Best investment I have made dollar for dollar.

Nothing doesn't look pretty lol. But I do see the benefit of running Hall sensor ( on or off ) vs Mag

if you have an FD not much, the stock triggers work well. for the early engines though with the gear driven crank sensors inside the front cover the timing tends to wander and scatter the timing.

I just received my trigger kit but my wheel looks nothing like the one pictured above...
Its just a flat plate. Did I get an 'old' one?

Do you recommend the trigger wheel for a FC 1991 engine with a Microtech LT10c EMS...


I should have more than 500 whp after tuning and clutch break inn hopefully...
BW S366 street port 2000 cc injectors..

Will this trigger wheel work with the air-conditioner in the car... I have no power-steering in the car.

Joeylyrech: Yes, however we will need the main gilmer pulley sent in for light modification to fit our wheel.

AXA: Our Rx8 trigger pattern wheels work with the Microtech but it does require a reflash from Microtech (~$150). In short, unfortunately it does not bolt in with the A/C installed. It could be made to fit, but would require a fair amount of modification.

How much for the modification?

Been trying to reach you to order one. Does the 60 tooth trigger work with the AEM ECU yet?
