That "60%" comment was only mentioned in an explanation for the train of events leading up to the build-up of the Renesis in my RV-4 (long boring story, see website if interested).  It has no other significance and there is no good reason to make the shaft longer.

Thanks Tracy,

I appreciate the response as I'm ready to order parts.

I've also ordered a single set of your Apex Seals for my single RX8 rotor - I have to get a cheque to Laura!

 

I was reading some comments on your site, which someone kindly referred me to, about the e-shaft only inserting into the Rx8 pulley by about 60 % of the depth of the pulley.

 

Question:-

If designing a single e-shaft from scratch to accommodate the RX8 pulley ( with timing wheel) - should I allow for a longer shaft. 

TIA

Assuming you have no problems mounting the wheel & sensor in the same relative position they are on the RX-8 engine, it will work fine on any rotary (1,2, 0r 3 rotors).  You must order EC2 with the RX-8 crank sensor option for this to work of course.

Tracy,

Can the RX8 timing wheel and sensor be used on the RX7 and can I use it on the single without causing other problems - using your EMS.
