DTA offers great products. I have used them 9-10years ago, they are much better now. If I have the need for a standalone, DTA will be on top of my list.

As with any standalone, you will need a engine harness and additional sensors. I recommend you base your decision not based on the hardware alone, but also on who can support you. You can have the best engine management hardware/software, if it is not installed and tuned properly, it will not work.

edit: more info. Contact A.Wayne on this board. He'll be able to assist you with anything that has DTA on it. I haven't tried the S series yet, wayne is the man when it comes to DTA.

Yes I used to run a DTA E48Exp. Very basic system, but worked very good along with a new harnss I made. But the S60 is a much nicer unit! HansB is running the S60 on his racer.

I really like the DTA systems, but I however decided to upgrade to the Link Plus G3 recently.

Duke, thats good news. The G4 is now out and the G3 is going to be able to run its software. Its a great upgrade. It includes auto tune by a/f. You plug in the a/f you want and it writes the main fuel table. It saves a bunch of dyno time for part throttle. The latest g3 update includes factory Porsche triggers and low oil pressure indication.

Dave, how well does the auto-tune work? How does the EMS account for WBO2 latency?

I saw a motor tuned both timing and fuel in about 1/2 hour, It was on an engine dyno. I haven't used it yet in my car so, I can't comment but the people that have used it said it works great. I have a G3 in my car and I'm waiting for the software upgrade to try it out. I will get the G4 when it hits the states.

In regards to Auto tune by A/f , that feature is is nothing new to standalone systems. Auto tune has been around for almost a decade , becoming more widespread about 5 yrs ago as wideband Lambda systems became more affordable.......

DTA E48, where did you get such a great system?

So the auto-tune feature includes automatic ignition timing tuning as well?

No BUT Link has 2 G4 models, one with knock control built in and one that has the 0-5v in so you can add the Knock block or Knock blink. Both can be plugged in to sense knock. A base timing MAP is giving but it should be tuned on a load dyno.

some features,

Built in 2.5 bar MAP sensor (2.5 bar absolute, 1.5 bar of boost) or add an external MAP sensor
ˇ Up to 6D fuel and ignition mapping
ˇ Precision closed loop cam control (four cam, independent control)
ˇ Sequential fuel and ignition delivery
ˇ Digital triggering, all OEM patterns
ˇ Rotary - up to two rotors, fully sequentially staged injection and sequential ignition
ˇ OEM idle hardware supported
ˇ 5D boost control with three switchable tables
ˇ Motorsport features - antilag, launch, flat shift
ˇ Continuous barometric correction (on board)
ˇ CAN port
ˇ QuickTune - automated fuel tuning
ˇ Individual cylinder correction
ˇ USB tuning cable included
ˇ Stats recording into on-board memory
ˇ Gear compensations for spark, boost and fuel
ˇ Real time selectable dual fuel, ignition and boost maps
ˇ Sync and crank sensors can be a combination of Hall effect, variable reluctance or optical, uses Porsche 944 turbo factory triggers.
ˇ Boost control referenced to gear, speed or throttle position
ˇ Up to 4Mb internal logging memory
ˇ Staged injection

Again, Sorry for the OT.
