Distributorless Ignitions: For Late model engines with distributorless ignition systems (DIS), we offer a variety of DIS Ignition's from street to racing units.

The Pro-Data+ software can be used with any PC running Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or XP. It is available on a 3.5 floppy or can be downloaded through the MSD Ignition website here.

Programmable DIS-2

Technical Brief

 


Programmable DIS-2
Four cylinder distributorless ignition applications (with two coil packs) will benefit from the incredible spark energy of the the new MSD Programmable DIS-2 Ignition Control as well as its ignition programming capabilities! MSD"s CD circuits work with state-of-the-art IGBT coil drivers to deliver a spark with 190 mj of spark energy! Below 3,300 rpm, there is series of multiple sparks that burns in the cylinder for 20° producing a smooth idle with great throttle response. You get to control all of this spark energy through an incredible array of timing and rpm programs. The heart of the Programmable DIS-2 is a 15Mh microprocessor that reviews, analyzes and manages every trigger signal and is capable of up to 15 million instructions per second! The end result is a powerful ignition control with endless programming capabilities to produce reliable performance.

PROGRAM FUNCTIONS

Individual Cylinder Timing: Maximize the performance of each cylinder to compensate for differing dynamics in airflow and other variances. The spark to each cylinder can be adjusted up to 5° in 0.1° increments which will eliminate any compromises in timing while developing the full potential of the engine.

Launch Timing Curve: Program a separate timing curve exclusively for the launch! This is a big help in compensating for varying track conditions to maximize traction.

Boost Timing Curve: For turbo or superchargered applications an optional MAP sensor can be installed so you can control the ignition timing in relation to boost pressure. The timing can be programmed from 0° - 25° in conjunction to for boost pressure ranging from 0 - 45 psi in 0.50 psi increments.

Multi-Step Retard: Three separate stages of retard can be activated by either rpm or a separate activation wire. This is perfect for all nitrous applications. Programmable from 0°-15° in 0.1 degree increments within 800 - 15,000 rpm in 100 rpm steps.

Gear RPM and Retards: Program a different rpm shift point for each gear as well as a retard for every gear change.

Three Rev Limits: Set three different rev limits for the burnout, the holeshot and top end overrev protection in 100 rpm increments.

PROGRAMMING

MSD offers two ways to program the PN 6212 Ignition. One is on a laptop with the Pro-Data+ Windows based software. This software opens quickly and displays a plotted rpm/timing, boost chart, a real time tachometer, a dial showing the timing retard plus a complete ladder of the adjustments. It can be used with any PC running Windows 95, 98 or NT. Download the MSD Pro-Data+ software.

Hand Held Programmer/Monitor
If you do not have a laptop or PC, all of the Programmable DIS-2's features can be adjusted with a hand held Programmer/Monitor. The Monitor communicates connects to the ignition via a 9-pin cable and features six positive contact push buttons for adjustments. The LCD will display all of the programming options which you select to adjust or view.

ACCESSORIES

Cam Synchronization Pickup
In order to take advantage of the Individual Cylinder Management system, a synchronization pickup must be incorporated so the ignition knows exactly which cylinder is firing. This pickup kit is supplied with a non-magnetic pickup, connectors, magnet and retainer. You will need to fabricate a bracket assembly and install the magnet.

Manual Launch Control and Shift Light
This handy controller lets you change the launch rpm setting of the Programmable DIS-2 for last second changes. This way, if you're in the staging lanes you can compensate for changing track conditions with the twist of a control knob. The end of this controller also acts as a Shift Light! A cluster of LED's will illuminate when the engine rpm reaches the programmed level to remind you to shift.

MSD LED Shift Light
This new Shift Light features a bright LED that will alert you to shift your desired rpm point. The compact housing fits neatly to a steering column or on top of a dash board and stays unobtrusive but illuminates bright enough to see easily in the daylight. This Light has two wires that plug directly into the Programmable DIS-2 Ignition, PN 6212. It can also be used with factory or other aftermarket ignition systems through an rpm activated switch such as MSD's PN 8950.
