DTA Fuel/Ignition Management System

I have now purchased the DTA P8PRO unit. Surprisingly it came with no mount or means of mounting it, so I will have to fabricate something. They recommend foam and rubber bands, probably because they are used to supplying these units for the racing market, rather than road cars.

The DTA is compatible with the Rover 60-2 and 36-1 flywheel mounted triggers of which I have both. The Range Rover flywheel is thicker, heavier and has a 10.5 instead of 9.5 inch clutch, which unfortunately fouls the SD1 bell housing.

The 36-1 pickup above comes of a manual flywheel and is an ideal candidate for modifying on to the SD1 flywheel.

After machining the SD1 flywheel it weighed 18lbs, but I forgot to weigh it before hand so I don't know exactly how much weight was saved, but I am guessing 4-5lbs.

The hall sensor is attached to the back of the block, but beware that the two types of pick-up have different diameters and therefore different mounts. If you make your system from bits be sure the mount in your block matches the pickup.

Both sides of the hall sensor mount.

The DTA has 8 coil driver of which I will only need 4.

The DTA software can be down loaded for free, and looks very good.

Under development, will keep you updated.
