Let me start off by saying that I am in no way affiliated with Quadzilla or Diesel Auto Power. I was simply asked to test the new updates because I have big injectors, I'm familiar with the Quad, and I know the person doing all of the tuning. This person wishes to remain anonymous, so it will stay that way.

On to the good stuff!!!

So what is V2? Basically it's a way to gain more control over the tuning parameters, with an emphasis on CLEAN POWER. I've got big injectors, and I've driven my own truck enough that I can drive it virtually smoke free, but I have to be very careful with the right petal (even when set to stock)

Here are the custom tuning parameters:

Alright, let's start with the power levels: 
0=stock
1=Power Percent (Explained later)
2=Fuel mileage (Same as the old number 1)
3=can-bus only (Same as old number 2)
4=can-bus + wiretap (same as old number 3)
and so on to the maximum level set is reached.

So, as you can see the first 8 parameters (through "TPS CAN Minimum") are the same as they've always been. They will function just like they used to.

The next two have to do with wiretap fueling. The "Boost Pump Scaling" gives the %specified of called for wiretap fueling if the boost is below the "boost pump low limit"
As an example:(Let's say it's set on level 10) In the pictures you can see I have the scaling set to 0% until 15psi. This means I'll get zero wiretap fueling until I hit 15psi of boost. If it was set at 50% I would get 600us of wiretap before 15psi. 
This greatly reduces the amount of smoke output without reducing your peak power.

Next we have Power Percent. This is the "new" level one! Here we have the percentage of stock power called for at all times. This is perfect to use for emissions testing, letting the wife/kids drive etc. This is also another way to reduce smoke if you're wanting to be really clean. 

Next is boost scaling. This is the same as it used to be. Just a smoothing feature.

Next we have PSI% listed 0-17 in increments of 1. This feature allows you to set the amount of stock power based on boost. It allows you to ramp up the power from 0-17psi, effectively reducing smoke and making the truck more driveable.

 

Now for my experience with testing.

 

Level 1: With my truck stock, I can floor it at any time and create quite a cloud of smoke. You'd swear I have a tuner cranked, but it's not. With my truck set to 70%, I can floor it while doing 55mph in 6th and get as big of a puff as a stock 24V. Meanwhile it'll pull about 34psi @ 2000rpm and 40psi by 2500rpm.  It does make the truck a little doggy, but I could adjust the percentage up as I saw fit and still keep smoke to a minimum. This would be perfect if someone were to borrow my truck (never going to happen but you get the point) They could try to hotrod it as much as they want but won't be able to. I do think this would make emissions a breeze to pass, and it could be used as a safety device to keep the truck from being stolen. Essentially you can set it to 1% and the truck would only idle.

 

Now for the PSI%: With the power level turned up around 1500rpm I can stab the throttle (0psi of boost) and get nothing more than a slight haze until the boost picks up and the quad starts fueling hard. Spool is still excellent under these conditions, I just need to work on my top-end fuel command to reduce the smoke up there. This has made the biggest difference in CLEAN power. The quad is essentially rolling into the throttle for you as the boost comes up so you don't cloud the highway when you get on it. 

Now the "Boost pump scaling" and "boost pump low limit": The wiretap fueling is essentially it's "own" programmer. It doesn't follow the rules of the can-bus fueling. This was taking effect in my description above because it doesn't wiretap fuel for me until 15psi of boost. Thus why it's only a haze until 15psi.

 

Now, what I'm not quite happy with yet. Off idle, if I stab the throttle on level 1 I get a puff of smoke. I am told this is because of where the quad takes over and starts controlling things. It's being worked on and should be fixed soon. Other than that I'm very happy! I do have only 20 miles or so of testing, but this does look very promising. I'll be putting 50 miles on in the morning and 50 miles in the afternoon, so I'll have more info then.

Any questions post em up and I'll do my best to answer them. The future of clean power for 24V's looks promising :stirthepot:

You are already running it.  No APK changes in awhile I just remembered the version in the play store was not updated... at least I dont think it is.

How do I load this APK? shout I root my tablet?

Just download the apk I hosted to your phone,, ensure "allow unknown sources" is enabled and double click and run the apk.

Having little trouble putting new flash on my Adrenalin box. I got my iquad in from dap and it works fine with original software that came with quad 5 years ago, this is first time i'm trying to load a new flash on the unit and having problems. I got windows 7. Basicly I click on new flash and when it asked for module to be plugged in it did'nt work. It just makes noise like it's found new driver to install but it didn't

Have you ever flashed the quad box before?

No I have not. First time I took it out of truck.

You need to install the driver for the module, 

 

Follow the direcitons in the PDF I posted in the other thread ( you won't have to force unsigned drivers to work. Just follow step 2 in the PDF.

 

Once you get the driver installed then you can flash without trouble.

Try finding the module first before doing the flash. This will ensure the software can see the module.

So I have to open ADR1000V2   and then click on it and when open it asks Get information from module and Update module? then I connect module through usb and chose get info? I can get that far but then it connects and disconnects and makes constant sounds like found new hardware.

Will this work on windows 7 . I feel like it's almost working but I think I'm missing a step.

Yep, this does work.

 

After you follow all of the steps in Nick's post, this is how I do it and it works 99% of the time. 

 

Leave the box unplugged. Click on the downloaded tune. That should open up the flasher where you have the option to select "Get information from module" or "update module." Then plug your quad into the computer. Then click "Get information from module." It should find the module and fill in all the little blanks with info. Then click "update module" and it should start flashing the box.

 

Every now and then it doesn't work, but I just close out of the program and re-open it. It'll usually work that second time. 

 

The sound you're hearing I think is normal. Mine does that as well when the box is plugged in. I just turn my sound off when flashing. 

Ok Thank you for these super fast replies, I got it to work, Did it again and like Tyler said opened tune, then connected module, then get info, info popped out, then update on the right and it updated, then back to get info and it now says AD1000V2 at the bottom. Can't wait to find out. Thank you all again. :thumbup2:  

It will connect and disconnect, that is normal.  but you need to install the driver for the box first then you will be able to flash the tune. 

If you said it loaded onto your box then you are good to go.  Windows 7 is hit nad miss on if it will load the driver automatically.

Yes You are right, computers are a pain in the as. , especially if you don't know what you're doing like me. :think: Plus if it happens randomly to random people on random computers, then it really make it hard for me doing it for the first time, thinking I did everything right and it's not working. Then you go second guessing what you did wrong but in fact you might of done it right the firs time, just the computer decided to give you some crap when you least need it. Ether way hopefully I don't have to touch it again for 5 more years. Then it will be done through the phone:whistle2: or by just brain power.  

OK, I seem to be dumber than I thought, Under vehicle selection What do I chose? Version 2.4  Test Dodge 2001-2001 v2BETA ? My truck is 02.

Man my head is spinning, :thud: Nick I know you have some examples of tunes. But can you please post a few complete ones say for 50-60 hp injectors at maybe a 800' elevation, one for mpg and one for Daily commute and a tow, or anyone who played with this and understands it, like Mike:sofa:. It might be a bit much to ask and every truck is different but I have my hopes up.

Also I saved a custom tune and named it DD has 6 power levels but when switch to gauge screen it shows 0 and I can't go up or down. Also this power reduction setting, does it apply on any tune at level 1 only. So no matter how weak or aggressive your tune might be if you set power reduction to 5 then on lev1 it will barely run.     This will be me soon :mad@computer: maybe Nick and Mike too after dealing with me. 

If now one replies I'll understand

Edited by Dieselfuture

We got your back, no worries. 

 

As for MPG vs tow etc.  MPG is going to mostly be the same regardless of the tune provided the cruise timing is the same.  

 

What I would start off with for your setup is posted in the tune thread :) i will link your user so you get a notice.

 

Power Reduction applies to lvl1 only so you can set it to whatever you like then it will only apply when you put the tuner to power lvl1. 

 

Do you have warmup settings enabled?  I am assuming hte phone is connected to the bluetooth and the truck is on correct?  the app won't change power levels unless it is connected to the truck with the truck powered on.
