im almost finished putting my edis setup in and after building a bracket for the vr sensor i realise that it wont fit due to some rather large fans on my radiator, hence no space for the sensor. after looking around for room i need to mount it pretty far down on the bottom. instead of mounting on the 9th tooth from the missing tooth for 0*, i need to mount on like the 23-24th tooth. can i do this and adjust it with the trigger wizard? and do i plug in the trigger offset wizard that its 230* or -190* etc. any help would be greatly appreciated.
1987 mitsu starion, with ms2, v3.57, 2.890 code.

Re: vr sensor placement
Are you running a distributor or EDIS?

Re: vr sensor placement
With EDIS, I'd try to have the sensor lined up perfectly, within 5 degrees or so. You can, however, put the sensor 180 degrees off if you switch the plug wires.

Re: vr sensor placement
is that mount the sensor 180* from the 9th tooth or 180* from the skipped tooth?and what would i need to do with the trigger wizard, offset, etc. ?

Re: vr sensor placement
180 degrees away from the 9th tooth. You would just swap the plug wires between the 1/4 cylinder pair and the 2/3 cylinder pair.

Re: vr sensor placement
sounds like that should work perfectly. with it 180* out from the 9th tooth, do i need to use the trigger wizard or anything from there ? or its just simply 180* out ?

Re: vr sensor placement
You may need to compensate for a couple degrees of misalignment, but that's it.
