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

No, I did not, how do I force the driver? I tried it on a windows 8 PC, and a windows 10 pc running windows 7 compatability mode.

 

For Windows 10 follow the thread I pinned

 

The only difference for windows 8 is you need to change your startup settings manually ( step 1 in the above thread).  you can follow this.

Thanks, I will try this right now

sounds good.  

 

Once you get the driver manually installed it will work.

worked perfectly!!! Thanks!!

Anyone ever put flip up screen car stereos in their truck, I'm looking at on at Walmart for 150$ it's a toch screen and has Bluetooth an option for back up camera that I always wanted for hooking trailers, hands free calling etc. I'm guessing the app for quad on my phone will appear on screen? not that bright on stereos, any input will help. Thank you.

 

too cheap to do it myself, but it works.

I've seen another youtube of a gent that did an Android Stereo and loaded his Quadzilla App on as well. He had it all custom with DVD movie player as well in 3rd Gen truck.

Yeah 3rd Gen have a lot more room, I'm debating if I want a flip up as it fits fine or make a bigger hole to fit the newer stile one's

So did you download quad app directly to stereo or is it conected through phone through Bluetooth 

I would assume you load the app on the headunit itself.  The headunit should have andriod loaded as an OS

I don't think a flip-up would be good as it blocks the two vents. There is however a flip down that I've been eyeing for some time now....

 

I would assume the stereo has to connect to wifi then download the app, but I'm not certain. I don't think you can link a phone to the quad, then like the stereo to your phone and have it work that way. 

care to share what you have been eyeing?  

Something to this effect.

Does it have to be android auto 

 

I would assume it does to run android apps. I know the ones I posted above are not, so not sure if they would even work. Personally I wouldn't run the quad through my stereo, but that's just preference. 

Yea you would need a head unit that runs on andriod.  

Good ol' Linux/Android to rescue... 

Hey guys, just found a guy selling a quad for $250. It's the old style with the monitor with the buttons on the side of the screen. Just want to confirm that it can be updated to use with the iquad and new software? Also, does year matter with the quad like it does with the edge? Or can the different map sensors be adapted to work?

Year doesn't really matter you need the adapter for the map.

 

I don't know that I would risk buying an old quad though.  Can you verify it works?

 

 

If it does then yes the tuning can be loaded on it and the iquad will work

Mileage report - 19.56mpg with 200 miles on the tank. Probably 25% city driving and the rest on the highway. Highway driving was mostly above 75mph with 50 miles or so at 85. I'm going to try and get up to 20 by slowing down a bit haha.

I am not gonna frown about 19 mpg above 75 mph haha.

 

 

Cool
