Default VVT + supermiata 36-2t trigger wheel + MS3 basic

Hi guys. I'm reading around when I'm about to do my timing belt on my rebuilt motor but I ran across some info and I wanted to confirm:

The supermiata 36-2t trigger wheel is compatible with the vvt motor right?

Also the trigger wheel position for TDC is correct in the picture below right? I read that I should count 9 tooth from the sensor for a 4 cylinder engine on MS3

Many thanks!

Yes that trigger wheel will work fine with VVT. In the drop down menu for trigger wheel there is an option for it. I do not know if you have the wheel on correctly or not, but if you use all the small screws to bolt the wheel to the damper, it should be on correctly. I do believe you can only put it on one way.

Yes, the first time I tried starting my car with it, it fired faster then it ever had before. I was very surprised about how quickly it started.

I should throw that 36-2 on someday. It just sits in my trunk.
