Electric Power Steering
When you are racing, you want as much of the engine's power going to the wheels.
We accept that most race cars need to spin an alternator to keep the battery charged and provide full electrical supply to the coils etc. Most of us maintain the water pump as a mechanical drive, though I prefer my EWP. We ditch AC immediately due to weight and parasitic drag. Why preserve an archaic PS system?
When you need full throttle power down the straights, there are still parasitic losses in a belt driven hydraulic power steering pump. When you're powering out of a turn, you benefit from an underdrive pulley on that pump. Have you stopped to think about the benefits of EPS? BMW has put it in the Z4 and the MINI. Factory marketing for MINI claims a full 3% reduction in parasitic losses, and 3% improvement in fuel economy for the EPS unit they use. Look at a non-M version of the Z4... note the idler pulley where you usually see the PS pump.....they went to an electric steering column.
Introduction price of $1100 includes the following for E36:
Brand new EPS pump with built in reservoir.
New PS cooler "trombone" section with factory crimp area revised
High pressure hydraulic PS hose, AN fittings in place
Matching banjo fitting to PS hose
Wire harness and instructions
Fuse and holder
Hose can be supplied for driver or passenger side fitment.
This is literally plug and play, just mount the pump, and all fittings included.
Photo's pending.
Weight of the PS unit and harness is 1 lb more than the factory belt driven pump & reservoir combination. This new system weighs almost 2 lb less than the MINI pump alone without including the reservoir or bracketry or significantly higher complexity of plumbing that comes with that unit.
S50B30 and S50B32 Plug and Play Standalone System
This adapter harness will let you plug right into the factory harness of a stock 3.0 or 3.2 Euro motor, and add a DTA S100. We've become a dealer for this product, and the results are amazing. There is no need to modify the stock harness at all, and one can add FI at will given the preservation of almost all the auxiliary outputs. Hopefully soon we will be posting before and after dyno curves for stock motors as well as Cammed engines. Different stages will be available as well.
S54 Transplant Plug and Play
Initially this will be offered for E36 chassis cars, and the adaptor harness you get with the DTA will plug right into the chassis X20, provide Diagnostic port to retain service to ABS, and fully run the S54. No mods to the engine will be necessary other than to bolt on a bracket and assembly to delete the E-Throttle. Check in to the website for details as we bring this to market. Dyno tuning starts in the next couple of weeks, and customers will have a choice of a very basic map that is not safe for driving but would allow the engine to run at least to begin dyno tuning, or, a fully tuned map that is optimized already for stock setup from intake and hfm, stock ICV and retention of course of full vanos.
