got a new toy in the mail today...

[mspiegle]

my new toy came in the mail. now... all i gotta do is find my wiring diagram then i can have some fun.

What is it?

dude, get out from under your rock!

lol, j/k. its an smt6 piggy-back unit.

God i want one....

yeah, i hope i don't break my car with it. i don't know what the hell i'm doing. learning is best when its from experience right?

Glad to see you got yours, i got mine 2 days ago, it looks very easy to do, only like 6 wires to connect.

mspiegle,

Did you ever get a reply in the smt6 board in how to eliminate the AFM for a MAP sensor, i also want to do this, i already got a 2bar sensor.

[mspiegle]

well, claudio said that he would make some sort of device to do this... i'm thinking that there might be a MAP sensor out there that has the same voltage range as an AFM.

Eitherway, i plan to do a MAF first just so I can 'try different things' and educate myself. If claudio isn't done by the time i want to do a MAP, i'll just ask my dad to make me a converter. He's a really good electrical engineer.

Alright, let me know if you get around this

[diegom6]

damm, I'm one of the group buers of the SMT6 and can't get my unit yet.....damm, hope someday arrive here....my country sucks when mails are delivery here....!!! :evil:

I guess I am under the rock too.
What is that?

my roommate runs that on his 300whp 944 Turbo, seems like a very powerful device if you know how to use it well.

@rob, yeah my garage mate has a supercharged 928 S4 and i'm trying to convince him to get one. The only real thing that's holding him back is that he doesn't have a laptop.

i duno if anyone is interested, but i wanted the ability to remove my SMT6 VERY EASILLY should any problems arise. Here is what I came up with:



basically, the SMT6 comes with the harness that is attatched to it, and it goes as far as to where the black tape starts. You're supposed to splice right into the ecu harness. Some wires are just tapped into while other wires are actually intercepted, modified, then sent back out on another wire. If you remove the SMT6, then there will be nothing there to relay the signal and your car probably wont start.

The connector on the SMT6 is almost identical to an ATX Power supply connector except it uses more pins.

I bought an ATX extender cable from an electronics store then cut it in half (parts 3 and 4). Part 2 is actually the ATX power cable i cut off a 460 watt enermax power supply (dont worry, the power supply is dead... otherwise it would be in my comp). Part 3 is what is directly connected to the ECU harness. From there, you can either attatch the SMT6 or the jumper (part #4). The jumper simply bridges those wires where the signal was supposed to be intercepted and sent out on a different wire.

Now, when i want to take my SMT6 off, i put the jumper connecter in place and it will restore the origional ECU wiring. Pretty nifty if you ask me...

As soon as barry/relizmpro gets over to my garage, we're gonna install it. He wanted to see how it was going to work

Sweet. Looks like your little setup should work great. With where the ECU is mounted, you could almost put the SMT6 in the glove box. Although it might move a round a little in more fun driving.

I got one i the Group BUy too! What a small world. What MAF are you guys planning too run? A Mustang 5.0 MAF or what others? We got to help each other out with Base maps and such.
As for the installing a MAP sensor, Gunni said that you should leave the AFM connected while having the MAP sensor connected and check the voltages of both at a certain RPM to get some rough values. After that you can probably run with the MAP sensor and rough out the edges.
Im hoping to use an MAF but I have an extra MAP sensor from friends B18B1 throttle body (did a Type R intake manifold swap for his LS/VTEC conversion ). So I might try Gunnis advice. BUt it wont be until I get back from Vegas.

Lets all keep each other posted on SMT6 faiulures, successes, do's and dont's!!
