Title: can someone explain standalone to me..
Post by: nobrakese36 on March 26, 2007, 10:37:34 PM

I have a pretty rough idea how it works, but mainly how do you connect it to your car? Does it replace the factory ecu? How do you wire it in?

Also since i finished my m42 build what are some good ways to tune it, can some one explain what wideband and a smt 6 is? Also how you hook it up to your car thanks! Does this work with you ecu? Doest it replace my afm with a temp sensor?

does the smt 6 do the same thing the split second arc does?

i just read about the arc 2a, seems pretty cool, you can control fuel ratio and also swap to maf sensor. Can anyone confirm this product works well?

A SMT6 is a great tool on a M42 , almost designed specifically for it it.
With it you can swap to what ever air measuring device you want.
Using a wideband controller you can remap the fuel to whatever you like,
and after that try and advance the timing a little bit.

I´d reccomend the SMT6 for a M42

I  am satisfied from smt6 too. I use two of them . the first smt6  i use for direct control on original 210cc/min fuel injectors  with injector driver.  The injector map has two values  RPM and  deflection with 3 bar map senzor i have 6 columned for vacuum and atmosfere levels and 2wo for  small boost.

i have good cold start and warm start. with watertempereture sensor corection column.

 I use second smt6 for direct control on additionaly 310cc/min fuel injectors. The injector map again has two values rpm and  deflection with the same one 3 bar map sensor but the diferense are in calibration on deflection values.
 calibration on deflectin values  are from 0,5 to 2 bar of boost

the ignition advance corection also i made like  consensecutively lay on the signal from crank rpm sensor >SMT1>SMT2>ECU

Work nice and easy for tune its strongly recomendet use WIDEBAND AFR METER for afr tune ,and EGT gyge and sesor for ignition adwance tune
