Hi guys,
As mentioned earlier, here are screen shots of the beta v2 software (inaccurately named v1.02 for now). It offers the following user-tunable features:

-User adjustable valet RPM switch
-User definable boost/torque curve



The RPM switch dictates the engine speed, that must be reached within 2 seconds of engine start-up, to active the performance map. Unless this engine speed is reached (through a simple throttle blip), the PROcede will induce a stock map. This feature can effectively be removed by setting the RPM switch to 0RPM.

The user definable boost/torque curve allows the user to dictate the shape of their torque curve based upon their preference. 100% in all the cells represents a full tilt boogie tune (great for drag racing on race gas, for instance). While numbers in the 85-95% induce a safe and strong pump gas map for daily driving. This table will already be configured by us.

We'll be releasing more user adjustable parameters as time goes on, and as necessary for other upgrades (downpipes, intercoolers, etc,.)

Cheers,
Shiv

so dropping the boost a bit in low RPMs might actually help with launching the car

Not sure I follow. FWIW, speed/gear dependent boost levels is probably what you want for help with launching. And that is going to be one of the, if not the, next user definable parameter.

That is what the launch control will be for (=speed/gear dependent boost levels).

How does it come out of the box? In other words, what's the initial set up?

very cool shiv. Now the bluetooth connection would be a huge bonus so I can change my tq curve that much easier.

Are you saying running 100% across the board wont work on pump gas....say 93 octane?

Have you run any dyno's that you can post for us showing the difference between the percentages??

Did I make the first batch of V2 harnesses??

ok ill stop

looks pretty good. so let me ask you this, if you make all RPM points at 100% and run 91octane in 115f heat? Is there a good chance of blowing the engine or will the failsafes come into play before that point?

can we type in 200% and get double the power.........maybe even 500%

100% in all torque waypoints is gonna be neck snapping for daily drive. Whats the default setting on the V2 map ? Its not 100% for all rpm ranges right? Does the valet feature come enabled/disabled by default?

Cheers and Thanks!

I would think valet is enabled all the time unless you change the rpm value to lower than the idle point.

Just get used to blipping the throttle at start up, no biggie.

How good way this is to adjust a tune based on the octane rating?
Should we just input specific percentage values for 91, 93 and 100 oct respectively?

[OpenFlash]

I run my car at 100% everywhere. On 91oct. In the middle of summer. Then again, it's our test car and probably sees more stress than any other car on the road. We will set the default settings to deliver strong power right out of the box. But we will leave some adjustment range for those who want to run high octane fuel and extract more power.

Well looks like I know what I'll be setting mine to then.

Wonder how well the Step will take all that TQ.

Let us know, wouldja?

Shiv

I use always 94-95 oct, so I should use 110-115%...

[533ogetnom]

i wish the gear dependant option was already there, i would love to limit torque in first andf have 100% in the rest, i always floor it, keep traction with v1 barely v2 ill have to actually pay attention

[Ninjaneer]

While I understand the concept I can't visualize where you'd want to limit certain boost and why unless it's uniform throughout. Or perhaps certain RPMs would make sense being lower than 100% while others stayed at 100%. Someone got any practical examples to help explain it better?

Also, could someone potentially fubar things up if they customized the ranges to jump back and forth from a low %age to a high %age repeatedly? Might not be much sense in it, but speaking from an idiot-proof perspective, I'm just curious.

[e.n335]

User defined settings are the way to go. Find the right hardware - software configuration and you'll get the most reliable and powerful tune possible.

Compliments !

for instance, having 100% in first gear + full throttle on a concrete road will = smoke, in second you could probably use the full 100 w/o worry

or for those that dont like that dropping off of torque feeling, limiting the earlier RPMs so its flat

and yea, im going to bet goin 100, 50, 100, 50, 100 at each 500 rpms would piss the wastegates off pretty hardcore

Charlie, do you have a custom tune with the procede for your downpipes?

[bnj]

It is nice that the next steps are planned and they go to the right direction - towards more power.

Bear with me. I'm a simple guy. What features do I need?

1. More power (40whp)
2. More power to the ground (speed/gear dependent boost)
3. More power (Map or custom tune possibility for IC + TB + Intake+higher octanes)

Generally, the low power version (=dark) could cover the power decrease stuff, wheres V2 could cover the power increase stuff for us simple people who always abuse their car to the fullest =100% and beyond, if possible.

Awesome Shiv, say how do us overseas guys order V2? Can't seem to choose international shipping on the website.
