hi

so i found a good deal on a e6x and i herd it has cross triggering problems. So i hear i can get a internal reluctor adapter dose anyone know where i can get one and how to install it thanks.

 

All current Haltech systems have a built in reluctor adapter, you enable it in the trigger setup page.

If you need an external unit haltech makes the RA10, and MSD has the "Magnetic Signal Stabilizer" box, or MSD-8509.

 

ok well where can i get a RA10 external adaptor?

 

What application is this for? what engine? the haltech's internal reluctor is pretty well suited for almost all applications, so what do you have?

 

I have an 87 rx7 t2 and ive herd that the e6x has bad cross trigering problems.

 

There is nothing wrong with the E6X and you don't need an external RA. Wire it up properly with attention to detail and you will have no issues. This subject has been covered ad nauseam.

If you still feel you need one email me and I'll hook you up. ludwigmotorsports@insightbb.com.

 

Out of morbid curiosity, what does the RA10 even do? and how would it be wired up?

 

The Haltech processor needs to see a square wave signal. All reluctors output a sine wave signal. The adapter changes the sine wave to a square wave. Just like the built in adapter that is standard in all Haltechs since the K(?).

 

Ahh I see. And the idea is that the "10" series of reluctor does a better job at changing the signal then the "8" which is built into the E6X?

Does it just wire inline on the trigger wires?

 

Again, Haltech's internal reluctor are more than capable to handle the rotary's trigger, its been done to death. If you've heard someone tell you that they didnt get it to work its because they didnt set it right. If you want to use the external reluctor adapter, RA10, you're more than welcomed to, it will need to be wired in properly, but you should not have any problems runing them directly connected to the Haltech.

 

Yes, I understand that. My E6X setup doesn't use one of these and it works fine.

I was curious about how its wired and what it does.....curious - not trying to band-aid a poor install.

 

On my MSD Boxes, i basically took the CAS shielded wiring from the harness and connected it to the MSD box's via the Green and Violet wires from the top. This in turn changes the wave and connects to the haltech Via the white and green. You basically need the shielded wire off the CAS and the shielded wire from the haltech into the boxes with switched power. I was under the impression it changes our signal to a distributor type signal. Correct me if im wrong.

 

.

 

The MSD 8509 boxes are connected using the reluctor wires like you said, positive and negative to voilet and green (respectively) and then the signal output wire from the box goes to the Haltech trigger input wire only. This wire used to be yellow on those msd boxes, did they change the color to white/green?

The box is converting the magnetic reluctor signal into a hall effect square wave form, which is a signal that is more compatible with the haltech than the magnetic sine wave.
