1. INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Digital Data Systems (DDS) SMT8 Technical Manual. The Technical Manual needs
to be used in conjunction with the LetRipp Software User Guide. The Technical Manual will assist
you in the operation of the DDS SMT8 product.

The SMT8 is the result of many years of development in the “Piggy-Back” industry.

2. FEATURES

Here is a brief list of the features:

• 2 maps to influence analog signals: ANA1 MAP

ANA2 MAP
• 1 Map to influence up to THREE ignition signals IGN MAP…..
• 2 Extra injector maps to drive two injectors INJ MAP #1
INJ MAP #2
• 1 Set point control with up to 3 outputs (relays) SETPOINT
• 1 Frequency modification map FREQ
• 1 AFR (Lambda) modification map wide/narrow? AFR
• 1 BOOST control screen BOOST
• Calibration of all inputs: Engine temperature
Air temperature
AMP (MAP) sensor
Throttle position
RPM
• Engine Protection Via Ignition cut
Ignition retard
ETC control
2.1 ANALOG #1 MAP

An analog signal is intercepted via the A1 (IN) (pin 7/12) to A1 (OUT) (pin 5/10) connections. It
is mapped via Throttle/RPM, Engine temperature, Air temperature and AMP, for the purpose of
altering fuel at specific engine conditions. The output signal can be limited (high and low).

2.2 ANALOG #2 MAP

The analog signal on A2 (IN) (pin 9/12) is mapped to the A2 (OUT) (pin 4/10) via Throttle/RPM,
AMP, Air and Engine temperature, for the purpose of altering (mapping) an analog signal, which
in turn may alter certain engine operations. The output signal can be limited (high and low).

2.3 IGN MAP

Up to 3 ignition signals (CRANK+2xCAM) can be intercepted and mapped via Throttle/RPM, AMP,
PERFECT POWER SMT8 TECHNICAL MANUAL V1.5

Air and Engine temperature, for the purpose of retarding/advancing the ignition. Notice that the
Ignition mapping affects ALL ignition signals (advance/retard). The output signal can be set to
maximum advance and retard limits.

2.4 INJECTION MAP #1

The SMT8 can drive one extra injector (13 ohm) for supplementing fuel at high boost. The extra
injector can be controlled via Throttle/RPM, AMP, Engine and Air temperature maps. This allows
for precise fuel delivery at boost conditions. This feature is very popular with turbo and
supercharger installations. The Injector #1 output is assigned via the SET-POINT map.

2.5 INJECTION MAP #2

The Second Injection map with full tuning capability is designed to operate on INJECTOR #2 via
the SET-POINT procedure. The map can be used for very complex fueling strategies in
conjunction with injection map #1, or it can be ignored. A 13 ohm injector must be used. The
Injector #2 output is assigned via the SET-POINT map.

2.6 SETPOINT

The SMT8 has 3 set point (relay) drive outputs, which can be activated from 14 different signal
sources. This is for the implementation of, for example, fan control, gearshift lights, idle
assistance and all other small jobs around the engine and cockpit. All functions can be combined
in a logical fashion, and full polarity (higher than/lower than) selection is possible. Furthermore,
The SETPOINT procedure can be used to switch between the TWO operating maps A/B. The SET-
POINT outputs are SHARED with the injection outputs.

2.7 AFR MODIFICATION

A large 16 x 24 map allows for the precise AFR (Lambda) signal modification via the AFR (IN)
(pin 5/12) to the AFR (OUT) (pin 10/10). The AFR is mapped via Throttle/RPM, AMP and Engine
temperature.

2.8 FREQUENCY/PWM MODIFICATION

A digital signal (PWM or FREQUENCY) can be modified via the FREQ (IN) (pin 2/12) and the FREQ
PERFECT POWER SMT8 TECHNICAL MANUAL V1.5

(OUT) (pin 2/10) signal path. The mapping is via RPM/TPS, AMP, Engine and Air temperature.

2.9 BOOST CONTROL

The Smt8 can pulse a solenoid to raise the boost above the waste gate canister default pressure.
The boost is mapped via low TPS/RPM, high TPS/RPM, Air temp/RPM and Boost target/RPM.
