SMT6 The Worlds Fastest Piggyback ECM Controller

SMT6 - THE SMART TUNER 6 PIGGY-BACK SYSTEM

SMT6 Unit with Harness
The SMT6 is universal piggy back system, designed to allow you to tune almost ANY electronically fuel injected engine.

Signals are modified on maps found within the SMT6 unit itself, and the Windows Tuning Software. Installation and tuning is simple and once installed the engine can be re-tuned by anyone with a laptop or PC, comms cable and the Tuning Software.

An average installation consists of connecting 6 wires to the vehicle's original wiring loom, changing the settings of the SMT6 in the setup section of the Tuning Software and voila! - you are ready to re-tune the vehicle. An experienced installer can install an SMT6 unit within 30 minutes!

The SMT6 product is packaged in two kits: the SMT6 User Kit and the SMT6 Kit.

* The SMT6 User Kit contains all the necessary items for a First Time or Once-Off installation.

SMT6 User Kit

The SMT6 User Kit includes the following items:
o SMT6 Unit with Injector Driver

o SMT6 Harness (Wiring Loom)

o SMT6 Communications Cable

o SMT6 Shorting Plug (Bridging Plug)
This useful product allows you to revert your vehicle to stock standard, should you need to remove the installed SMT6 unit for any reason.

o SMT6 CD complete with all the Manuals and Software
Note: The important SMT6 Developer's Manual is only available on the SMT6 CD.

A very useful accessory to use with the SMT6 unit, is the SMT6 Test Jig. This product allows you to test the SMT6 unit and confirms that all components are working 100%. It also assists with the installation of the SMT6, as you can test for any faults at each stage of the installation. The SMT6 Test Jig is affordable and is available to purchase as an optional accessory for only 31.43 US Dollars!

* The SMT6 Kit is for a Repeat Installation. There are certain things that you won't need to get again, as you would've already purchased them in the SMT6 User Kit, e.g. the SMT6 comms cable.
The useful SMT6 Shorting Plug, would need to be purchased as an additional item.

The SMT6 Kit includes the following items:
o SMT6 Unit with Injector Driver

o SMT6 Harness (Wiring Loom)

A full list of the FEATURES AND BENEFITS of the SMT6 is included in the table below.

More details on some of the important features are:

*
Lambda Feature: With the SMT6 it is possible to read the lambda sensor, as well as modify the lambda sensor signals. There are two modes of lambda tuning - linear and non-linear. The linear mode tunes according to the voltage of the sensor, while the non-linear mode allows you to tune according to a lambda value. Both tuning modes are selectable via the setup screen in the Windows Tuning Software.

*
The SMT6 has an output which can be enabled according to an RPM setpoint, which is mainly used with CAM switching applications. This output can also be used to set the airflow, temperature and analog deflection points.

*
The SMT6's extra injector driver allows more fuel to be added into an engine, and is ideal for Turbo applications. This extra injector driver can also be used for proportional nitrous injection.

* The SMT6 also has an input for airflow sensors and temperature sensors, and each of them has a separate map that can be used to manipulate the fuel, extra injector and ignition signals.

FEATURES & BENEFITS OF THE SMT6
All piggy-back systems rely on the exiting ECU to provide the fuel and ignition to an electronically fuel injected engine. Therefore, they are also bound by the limitations of the existing ECU.

Fuel is typically modified by changing the load sensor or lambda sensor signal. Ignition is done by delaying or advancing the crank angle sensor's signal. The piggy-back system tricks the ECU into thinking that it is running under different conditions thereby allowing for a different output.

NEW Product
TURBO FUELLER TF10

Turbo Fueller TF10

The Turbo Fueller TF10 is the ultimate companion piggy-back system for a turbo or supercharged electronically fuel injected engine and can:

1. Add fuel via extra injectors
2. Clamp the existing airflow meter
3. Control the boost pressure (for Turbos only)

The TF10 is designed to handle the increased fuel requirements through extra injectors. The TF10 can also retard the stock ignition and control a turbo’s waste-gate.

When a turbo or supercharger has been installed, the increase in power requires an increase in fuel. The TF10 can supply more fuel through the precise control of EXTRA injectors placed in the throttle body. Traditional methods of manipulating the amount of fuel was either to change the fuel pressure, or install bigger injectors. Doing this would cause problems at idling or at full power.

The TF10 is a wire-in piggy back product which requires some technical knowledge of engine management systems. Knowledge of how to use a multi-meter to trace wires and measure engine signals will be required.
It is also possible that extra injectors, a better fuel pump and a high pressure manifold sensor, will also need to be installed before using the Turbo Fueller TF10. The tools and knowledge to install these items will also be required.

FEATURES OF THE TURBO FUELLER TF10 - IN MORE DETAIL

FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL
The TF10 comes with 2 Peak-and-Hold (P/H) (high power) injector drives capable of handling 10 Amps each. The injector(s) are placed in or before the throttle body and are precisely mapped through the RPM and throttle range, including mapping for Manifold Absolute Pressure (AMP), Engine and Air Temperature. A suitable external MAP (AMP) sensor is required along with the TF10.
Back to Top

IGNITION CONTROL
The Turbo Fueller can intercept and RETARD two ignition signals. This is required to prevent "knocking" at high boost pressure.
Back to Top

BOOST CONTROL
This feature applies to TURBO installations only. It allows waste-gate control through a "bleed" valve above the canister pressure. This feature is a "must-have" for non-decompressed engines. It allows the boost pressure to be set for 24 targets in the RPM range.
Back to Top

LAUNCH CONTROL
This feature is for engines with strong gearboxes. Once the feature is engaged through a foot-switch, it retards the engine above a pre-set RPM target. This in turn allows for more throttle, so that the turbo can spin up and produce pressure. Once the foot-switch is released the retard is removed. The turbo-lag is also thus removed.
Back to Top

AIR FLOW METER CONTROL
The stock airflow meter may "max" out, and the stock ECU may shut the engine down. This can be prevented by routing the signal through the Turbo Fueller TF10 and mapping the signal, or just limiting it to a pre-set value. The TF10 has two circuits to tune an Airflow meter and a pressure sensor.

SMT7 - THE SMART TUNER 7 PIGGY-BACK SYSTEM

SMT7 Unit
The SMT7 piggy-back system from Perfect Power is designed with many of the SMT6's features, as well as a few additional features such as Boost Control. The SMT7 includes all that you are looking for, in one solution, setting it apart from other competitor products.

Tuning is now possible on most modern vehicles! The SMT7 is the ideal companion to any conversion. Besides all the amazing features that the SMT7 offers, it is affordable and boasts the latest Windows Tuning Software.

Discover the hidden power that your turbocharged engine has with the SMT7!

Both the SMT6 and the SMT7 are available in parallel, as each product has different capabilities and will be suited to different setups, applications and requirements.



SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE SMT7

* Boost Control

* Closed Loop Lambda

* Tuning with Lambda

* Ignition Control

* Injection Control

* Setpoint Control

* Inputs and Outputs

* Road Speed Modification (Frequency Modification)

* Frequency Airflow Modification

* PWM Modification

* Trigger Type

* Software:

o Updated Software

o 8 Tuning Screens

o 2 Analog Maps

o Data Logging

o History Recording

o Max Recordings

o On-Line Help

BOOST CONTROL
The Boost Control feature is designed for turbo installations where the boost must be controlled. This is particularly important when the engine is NOT de-compressed, and when a rather small turbo is used. In most cases the engine has the tendency to “ping” between 2000-3000 RPM. The boost control can reduce the boost at the critical RPM and then increase the boost significantly at the higher RPMs where the airflow is restricted. The Boost Control feature can also be used as a stand-alone function for aftermarket boost control.

Back to Top

CLOSED LOOP LAMBDA (FUEL LOOP)
The SMT7 can work directly with a 0-1 Volt Narrow Band sensor, or with a 0-5 Volt Wideband AFR signal from a Perfect Power Wide Band Controller (WBC) or other external device. You can run your conversion in closed loop, partially closed loop, or open loop - it is freely programmable! (See Lambda Tuning below)

Back to Top

LAMBDA TUNING
If your engine is closed loop controlled by a narrow band lambda sensor, then you can tune it. Changing the ECU target to a more economical or more powerful setting, will do this. You can also tune WIDE BAND closed loop, but you won’t be able to see the AFR directly, you'll just feel the effect!

Back to Top

IGNITION CONTROL
The SMT7 can “modify” two engine signals simultaneously. This allows you to retard and advance timing facilities on all engines with a compatible crank trigger wheel pattern e.g. 60-2. Complex ignition control (e.g. multiple gap, CAM pattern) is possible.

Back to Top
INJECTION CONTROL
This is for controlling EXTRA injectors, which are placed in the manifold to SUPPLEMENT the original injectors. This is one of the best ways to get more fuel into an engine after adding a supercharger or turbo.

Back to Top

SETPOINT CONTROL
Setpoint Control has become a standard feature on our products, such as the XMS and XMS-L. The SMT7 has three setpoint outputs and 12 setpoint functions, with the possibility to link functions with a logical AND/OR. For example, Switch a relay on/off when the throttle is more/less than 75% AND RPM is higher/lower than 3000.

Back to Top

MORE INPUTS or OUTPUTS
Instead of sharing wires between functions, we have assigned a wire to every function. This makes the SMT7 easier to understand and wire up, which results in two connectors with a total of 36 wires.

Since there are so many features in the SMT7 unit, the SMT7 harness (wiring loom) has only the essential wires connected and then loose pins to make up the rest of the connector. This will enable the installer to only wire-in the necessary or required wires for that particular installation. This has been done to allow for a neater installation and to avoid having excess wires which are not used "hanging around".

Back to Top

ROAD SPEED MODIFICATION (FREQUENCY MODIFICATION)
The road speed of a vehicle is measured via a frequency, which is proportional to the vehicle's road speed. The SMT7 can be used to adjust the frequency to compensate for different tyre sizes, or to remove the road speed governor.

Back to Top

FREQUENCY AIRFLOW MODIFICATION
Some airflow meters transmit a frequency to the ECU, which is proportional to the airflow. The SMT7 can map this signal (modify the frequency via the ANA2 map), thus allowing you to tune the engine's fuel.

Back to Top

PWM MODIFICATIONS (FUEL, BOOST)
Some PWM signals (such as boost control) just need modification. The SMT7 can modify a PWM signal (modify the width of the pulse) without changing the frequency, via the ANA2 map. However, the output is a “signal”, and needs to be amplified to drive an injector.

Back to Top

TRIGGER TYPE
Most engines are different and have a different trigger wheel pattern. The trigger signal tells the ECU how much an engine has turned and which cylinder is next.

The SMT7 can work with the most popular trigger types i.e. 60-2, 36-1, 36-2; but due to the intelligence of some ECUs, it is best to confirm compatibility of the SMT7 with your vehicle. Most trigger types are applicable to more than one engine and manufacturer.

Confirm compatibility of the SMT7 with your vehicle by emailing us at: info@perfectpower.com.

Back to Top

SOFTWARE

Updated Software

The SMT7 has new software since the SMT6 was designed, with an easy to use screen layout. The screens have more tuning versatility with extra columns featuring engine temp, air temp and manifold pressure.
The Windows “MOUSE” operation has been supplemented with keyboard commands for row, column and field tuning. This makes the tuning more accessible when operating a laptop computer in a vehicle.
All tuning fields can be labelled, and screens can be turned "off" if not needed. This is very convenient for customizing the software to your application.

Back to Top

Eight Tuning Screens
The SMT7 has 8 tuning screens. Each screen refers to a particular tuning operation, and it displays all vital engine data. All setup parameters needed by the operation are located on the screen, which eliminates the need to confirm them or to switch screens in order to change them.

Back to Top

Two Analog Maps
The SMT7 software boasts two Analog Maps. You can tune lambda up to the point when the ECU switches closed loop off on one Analog Map, and then you can tune the airflow meter on the second Map! With the SMT7, you can tune ANY two analog signals simultaneously!

Back to Top

Data Logging
A great feature that allows you to log all engine data and some SMT7 data and play it back at a later stage.

Back to Top

History Recording
The SMT7 records driving history in minutes, which can be uploaded at a later stage.

Back to Top

Max Recordings
You can record the maximum readings reached of RPM, Air Temperature, Engine Temperature and Manifold Pressure sensors.

Back to Top

On-Line Help
The SMT7 Help Files Manual has been integrated into the software and linked to the screens and subject index. This facilitates a quick reference within the software while tuning.

/i/about us/qd1.jpg The Heat Range is the function of the spark plug that regulates the temperature of the combustion chamber by its ability to maintain or to remove the heat produced by the combustion process and to take the excess of heat toward the cylinder head that will then transfer it to the cooling system.

There is no direct relationship between the spark plug heat range and the spark voltage.




Each spark plug is manufactured with its own predetermined and specific heat range. They exist different spark plugs brands and each one of them manufactures its different series or models with a large variety of heat ranges.

Owed that all the engines are differents, they require spark plugs with different Heat Range. All the engines, whether in a family car or in a racecar, should operate at an optimal temperature in the combustion chamber, which must be between 840ºF. to 1560ºF. (450ºC. and 850ºC), what means that the heat range of the spark plug to be installed should be cool enough to avoid pre-ignition, but hot enough to prevent fouling.

This is why the vehicle manufacturers define a spark plug with a specific heat range for the power level and operating conditions that supposedly is going to demand the end user of each model of vehicle. This selection must be precise.

Today, Professional Mechanics, Do-It-Yourselfers, and Spark Plug Vendors have Application Charts available in Spark Plug or Auto Part Catalogues, as a guideline to identify the adequate spark plugs for a vehicle, whether as printed material or modern computerized version. Such application charts only indicate the adequate spark plugs for vehicles under standard operating conditions.

Users are therefore quite familiarized to the idea that is enough to follow the catalogues suggestions, however, during the useful life of a vehicle many different conditions that affect engine performance may occur, as for example:




Different driving conditions,
different traffic conditions,
different load conitions,
different engine maintenance,
different high performance modifications,
different weather conditions,
use of LPG natural or propane gas as fuel.

Moreover, these conditions may combine in endless ways.

And when such different conditions do occur, vehicles no longer operate under standard conditions, and the heat range of the stock spark plugs stop being the adequate for this particular conditions, being done necessary to install spark plugs with a Heat Range different from the original stock suggested in the catalogues by the manufacturers, and therefore catalogue´s Application Charts can not continue indicating which one is the spark plug that must be installed in a vehicle to best match each one of these conditions or the different combinations thereof.




If the stock spark plug heat range results colder than neccesary due to the actual operating conditions, the air/fuel mixture will not burn completely creating carbon deposits that will not burn and will stick to the spark plug, fouling it; and since carbon is an conductor of electricity, it would deflect the electricity to the ground instead of creating the spark, resulting in engine misfiring and malfunctioning. When this problem exists, the installed spark plugs shows unburned fuel. Then the spark plug appearance looks similarly to a reach mixture.



And if the stock spark plug heat range results hotter than neccesary due to the actual operating conditions, the engine would overheat and the installed spark plugs looks with overheating, similarly to a lean mixture.



When an engine is modified for high performance and its power is increased, the stock spark plugs very often result hottest than neccesary due to the new power achieved at higger RPM and the gasoline would end up pre-igniting or detonating without the need of an electric spark, creating an uncontrolled explosion that would severely damage the engine.

Be aware that never! never a high performance modified engine, can continue using the stock spark plug, because more power is more energy, and more energy always is more heat.



Unfortunately, even very experienced mechanics have difficulty in detecting the differences in this situations that are very often misunderstood, misleading them to search the origin of the troubles that the spark plugs are showing, in the supposedly wrong air/fuel mixture, cooling systems troubles or other mechanical failures.

It is absolutely clear that is doing lack more information about the true one and trascedental importance of the the heat range of the sparkplugs.
This exact selection is critical!

Only with the proper Heat Range will spark plugs sustain the perfect combustion process that keeps your engine's top efficiency and functional reliability.

But only a few of the most selected and experienced engine tuners know how to select the spark plug with the proper heat range best suited to match these differents conditions, or the specific engine's level of modification, but them reach it only after long hours of expensive and difficult testing by trial and error with differents spark plugs sets of different heat ranges.



Now, only with the Spark Plug Heat Range DETERMINATOR® you can easily overcome the difficulties of diagnosing properly your vehicle; according to the combination of your own specific, individual and particular driving habits, traffic, weather, engine operating conditions, fuel quality, that can be affecting your engine performance; and you can Tune-Up your vehicle by yourself, tailoring it exactly for you, simply by selecting the spark plug with your own customized heat range.




The Spark Plug Heat Range DETERMINATOR® is also the unique and best help to achieve unbelievable levels of power in your high performance modified engine, because allows you to push to the edge, as never was possible before: the modification level, the timing advance, the turbo or supercharger pressure, and the nitrous oxide flow; while keeping the engine totally free and safe from overheating, pre-ignition, or detonation, and its harmful effects, simply by selecting accurately the spark plug with the customized heat range to remove absolutely the heat excess of the combustion chamber. No matter how heavily the engine is modified and how much the engine is stressed.

This is the only way that guarantees to achieve the peak power, performance, endurance, better mileage and the lowest emissions.

You don´t have to take our words. Spark plug manufacturers have never failed to explicitly acknowledge that:



"Owing to different driving conditions and/or engine conditions a hotter or colder spark plug may be required"
NGK Sparkplugs

"bad plugs cause overheating, rough running, power loss and even engine failure"
AUTOLITE Sparkplug

"Wrong choice of spark plugs can cause an engine to go on strike"
BERU Sparkplug

"This is reflected in the increased importance assigned to precisely adapting the spark plug to engine. Customized solutions are the order of the day"
BOSCH Sparkplugs

“These application list is to be used only as a guide, owing to different driving conditions and/or engine conditions a hotter or colder spark plug may be required".
NGK Sparkplugs

"The spark plug application for racing engines is very individual and requires good experience in identifying appropriate heat value. Failure to meet these requirements may cause extensive engine damages".
BRISK Sparkplugs.

"For racing, the spark plug recommendations listed should be considered only as the initial guide. Final heat range selection must rest with the racing participant.".

* XE85i-6 for 6 cylinders

* (2 x XE85i-4 units can be used for 8 cylinders)

The XE85i Controller automatically detects the injector firing order (batch or sequential) and calculates the engine's RPM and all other fuelling requirements. This controller, requires the use of a Narrow Band Lambda Probe. It "self-learns" the stock ECU's operating conditions, from a warm engine that is running on normal fuel. Once it has "learned", the XE85i will automatically adjust the fuelling to any mixture of an ethanol fuel blend from E0 to E85.

The supplied harness intercepts the injector wires via the supplied injector clips that are part of the plug-and-play harness, and only the additional ground (chassis) wires need to be connected. The supplied temperature sensor, needs to be strapped to a suitable water hose and the OPTIONAL lambda probe input can be connected (or not). These minor connections complete the installation.

The XE85i Controller is designed for engines with "Closed Loop Lambda" Control, which is evident with the presence of a Narrow Band (1 to 3 wires) Lambda Probe mounted in the exhaust pipe.

Features of the XE85i - Intelligent Fuel Controller (DIY)

* Plug-and-Play Harness (via injector clips)

* Extra input for Temperature Sensor

* Auto-Tuning the fuel injection to any ETHANOL fuel mixture

* Requires stock ECU with Closed Loop control at idle

XE85T Controller 4 cylinders XE85T - Tuneable E85 Fuel Controller

The XE85T Controller is designed for Dealers and Tuners who wish to tune and setup the controller according to their requirements. This model is designed for use on "road" vehicles. The unit itself has a communications port and is tuneable with the standard LetRipp Software. All operations and fuel management are indicated on your computer screen via the LetRipp Software. The LetRipp Software also allows the settings of the parameters and tuning fields in the four (4) operating modes (see below for details).

The XE85T Controller is easy to install, but requires the setting up with a PC or laptop computer. This allows the XE85T Controller to be optimized for your engine and to get the best out of the E85 fuel blend. The XE85T Controller comes with a Technical Manual, which clearly explains the following 4 operating modes in more detail:

- MANUAL MODE

The Manual Mode mimics the XE85M Controller. It allows you to set the ETHANOL ratio from the PC and from an optional potentionmeter. It is a simple mode that may appeal to you.

- INTELLIGENT MODE

The Intelligent Mode is very much like the XE85i Controller, but you can optimize all the operating parameters. This mode requires that the stock ECU operates in "Closed Loop" at idle. This mode is very easy to tune and also has a self-learning capability.

- AFR MODE

The AFR Mode requires the use of a Narrow Band Lambda probe. It effectively operates a SECONDARY Lambda Loop to the stock ECU. It is equally suited for engines without loop control, in which case the XE85T will construct the primary Lambda loop. The tuning is a little more involved, depending on the presence and behaviour of the ECU Lambda Control. All parameters can be set, and the controller has a self-learning capability for ease of operation.

- TUNING MODE

The Tuning Mode requires the use of a Standard Narrow (1 to 3 wire) Lambda probe. It has a "Lambda Target Map", which allows the tuning of the fuel via 384 sites. In addition, to the loop behaviour, other parameters can be tuned via the PC. Installation is fairly simple, much like the DIY units, but the tuning requires a dyno and expertise. The results are fantastic, and you may even gain a little more power at the end! This mode is ideal for difficult engines with or without loop control. It also allows the changing of the fuel pressure in case the injectors are fully utilized.

The XE85T Controller comes in three versions:

* XE85T-4 for 4 cylinders

* XE85T-6 for 6 cylinders

* XE85T-8 for 8 cylinders

Features of the XE85T - Tuneable E85 Fuel Controller

* Wire-in - Easy to install

* Communication port for tuning

* Requires stock ECU with Closed Loop control at idle

* Optional TPS input

* Optional Temperature input

* Compact Size

* Water Resistant (not Waterproof)

Image Coming Soon XE85P - Performance/Racing E85 Fuel Controller

The XE85P Controller is designed to maximize the racing performance out of the high octane ETHANOL in a fuel blend. The XE85P Controller's main aim, above all the other XE85 controllers, is the ignition control. Controlling the ignition is required to take advantage of the high octane level of Ethanol, in addition to the possible rise of the compression ratio. The primary objective of the XE85P is for performance ABOVE the normal expected features. It is for this reason, that the XE85P has some of the features of the usual piggy-back products, compared to the other controller models in the XE85 range, and is also more expensive.

The XE85P Controllers require wiring-in installation expertise, engine knowledge and the use of a Dyno for setting up and tuning.

/i//xms-l_web.jpg The XMS-L (Xtreme Management System - Light) is a more affordable stand-alone system under the XMS product range. The XMS-L unit is ideal for applications that do not require all the functions and features of the XMS. The XMS-L has been designed to work on 4 cylinder engines only. The XMS-L has 2 ignition outputs with on-board drivers ideal for wasted spark applications, and 2 direct injector drives that allow for precise injector tuning. The XMS-L also has a 2.5bar on-board MAP (MAF) sensor.

The Windows Tuning Software is identical to the XMS, however only the features and functions that the XMS-L supports, will work. The software is user friendly and includes on-line help on all functions. The software also records the max. RPM, max Boost, max. Engine Temperature and max. Air Temperature. The XMS-L allows for live tuning, which means that changes can be made in real time or as you drive. The XMS-L can be connected to all standard factory sensors, such as Air Temperature, Engine Temperature, TPS (Throttle Positioning Sensor), etc.

The XMS-L Tuning software has two maps, which can be switched while driving. For example, Map A for economy or cruising and Map B for power or racing. The Tuning software also allows for the graphical display of all inputs in graphs or dial gauges.

The XMS-L uses a narrow band lambda input sensor for closed, open or partially closed loop operations. It also simultaneously monitors the engine temperature, air temperature, RPM and manifold pressure. The XMS-L Lambda circuit is used to reduce harmful vehicle emissions by ensuring that the engine is burning the fuel efficiently and cleanly (complete combustion).

The XMS-L uses multi-tooth crank signals for more precise ignition control of up to 10,000RPM at 60 teeth per turn or another corresponding trigger pattern that is compliant with the XMS-L.
