Has anyone installed the [RX8] eccentric shaft position sensor on a 13B?
Are any modifications required to install the steel plate?  Does a
special bracket for the position sensor have to be built or can the
Renesis bracket be used?   Does this work with an  EC2 that was
intended to be  used with the CAS?    Jerry

I suspect a special bracket would be needed.
Also the third gen had a similar system with two pickups and that works
with Tracy's computer. I am not sure Tracy has adopted the
RX8 version but I suspect he has as he is running an RX8 engine
as we speak.

Here is what the third gen trigger plate looks like. The single
small protrusion on the right probably gives the computer the TDC position
of rotor one using one of the two mag pickups.

This would be a similar situation to my photo electric flex plate
arrangement with the dual photo interrupter system.

Jerry,
I'm going to run the RX8 pick-up and timing plate.
The timing wheel/plate is bolted to the RX8 pulleys ( 1 or 2) they also bolt
together.
I don't know if the bracket for the pick -up comes with it as I haven't
received mine yet.

This system works with Tracy's EC2, as I have also ordered that - however
you must advise him that your using the RX8 parts.
It seems the simplest system to me.

I have purchased the RX8 pulley bolt which is a little longer than the 13B,
but I believe you can use either. There is no big cost in the RX8 bolt, if
you wanted to get one.

Watching your progress with interest!
