SMT7 - THE SMART TUNER 7 PIGGY-BACK SYSTEM  (PREVIOUS VERSION)


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
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.

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)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.
