Edge Comp Question???

[Mundgyver]

Well I have truely gone to the dark side now. I do have a question for the forum though Regarding the Edge Comp, has anybody that is running one taken the time and actually done a comparison of the all the different levels available??



My curosity is with the difference of the smoke levels and exactly what it means. Level II for example. Sub level 1 compared to the other sub levels within Level II. Is there a HP & TQ difference within the sub levels. Has some one maped out all 25 settings??



Inquiring minds are curious One thing for sure, my baby is hot now and if some one is riding your bumper you can get them to back off real quick by going to 5x5 and punching it for about 1/2 second.

The sub-levels control WHEN the box starts to fuel. Smoke is caused by overfueling with no or low boost. So on sub-level 1 it starts fueling late... . on sub-level 5 it pours the fuel in imediately. Numbers wise though I am not sure.

now i'm starting to understand.......

so how mush of a difference is there between 1x5 and 5x5?

i mean like what should i feel?

i've got 275's and a stock hx-35... ... ...

I am 99% sure on this,the level you are in determines your power at WOT. once the turbo has spooled the power will be the same in any power level,no matter where the sub level is. The sublevel fueling can delay full power,on sub level 1-2,or bring it to full power quicker on sub level 5,but the actual peak powerdoesnt not change by changing the sub levels. It sure feels quicker on sub level 5 due to decreased turbo lag,so you perceive it as being more powerful

good morning snow man.....

thanks... . that's kinda what i was looking for.....



with all the talk lately..... i wanted to make sure it was working right... .

 

[Mundgyver]

Thanks for the response. That clears up some of the mystery. I'm headed down to Eugene this moring and will run on 1x1 to see how my mileage is affected. Will post the results when I get back.

1/1 is a dog. I have less lag with the box off. With 275's I would run it on 1/3. Sub-level 1 is actually DE-fueling to cut smoke for those with fire hoses for injectors. On 1/3 you should have very little smoke and alot more usable power.

 

[tntway]

i have smoke......

even with the box OFF. its a great thing to have... . nobody tailgates me anymore.

LOL..... turn it on 5/5 and they not only will stop tailgating you but they will stop in the middle of the road for fear that the cloud is a black wall that came out of nowhere.

De-tailgater Lever..... (Throttle). At least thats what I call mine. :-laf :-laf :-laf





Already got a letter from the clean air department because somebody turned me in. The letter just stated that they wanted to let me know that somebody has complained and that I may have engine problems Yeah right!!!

 

[Chipstien]

Puffin Smoke, LOL. I wonder at times whether they could even see my license plate when I smoke em. Literally

 

[Puffin Smoke]

Thats funny... . But I do remember ******* a quite a few people off though

I've had my Comp for about 8 months now. In daily life I run in 2x5 all the time. When I drag race I use 5x5 of course. Mine honestly feels like it is putting more fuel to the injectors in main level 5 than in main level 2 at all RPM, not just that it fuels longer (at a higher RPM). It is quite noticeable in my truck. When I first got the Comp, I called Edge as I had a ton of questions about how if differed than the DD TTPM I had been running. I talked with Aaron for awhile, and if I remember correctly, he told me that each of the main levels on the Comp did add more fueling not just controlled at what RPM the fueling cutoff.



Just my $0. 02

Tom,the comp fuels a lot more on level 5 than 2,it however makes no diference which sub level your in as far as peak power once spooled,with it on sub level 1 or 5,the power is the same,it does spool much faster,and is much quicker on the sub level 5 ,than sub 1. How do you run on sub level 5 daily? with dd3's you must smoke everytime you pull out or shift with sub level5,I use sublevels 1,on all power levels except 5,where its on 5x5.

 

[KatDiesel]

I have it setup as 1x1, 2x5, 3x3, 4x5, 5x5 on my COMP



I am usually in 1 or 2 for daily stuff, I goto 3 if I wanna have some power to play. Level 4 is for when I wanna play with someone, and Level 5 is for lets get it on.

 

[TomGolden]

Snow Man, I tried main level 2 at all sublevels, and I just prefer sublevel 5 for pretty much the main levels. In the summer time, yes I do get asmall amount of smoke when starting out from a dead stop in 2nd gear, and ocassionally a puff when going into 3rd, but that's all I can see from my mirrors. I have never had a friend follw behind me to see how much is seen from that perspective. Of course I rarely really get on the diesel pedal hard when just driving around town, I tend to take it easy usually

I don't run with it on unless I want to blow someone away but if it is on..... it is on 5/5. But when I first got it I did alot of experimenting with different levels and sub-levels and even on 5/5 I can start with virtually no smoke. (Notice I said can. ) Of course with a auto... once spooled up I don't have to worry about it losing boost during shifts and I can prolly roll on the throttle lighter than a stick can. I believe you are right with your earlier post. Once the boost is there I don't notice any different in the top end on one piticular main level.

I was under the impression that the main levels are for fueling and the sublevels are for timing. BTW, I think this will be my next mod, how does it work with the stock HX turbo?

I believe the sub levels control at what boost level the extra fueling begins. So in a way, I guess you could call that timing..... maybe that is exactly what everyone means when they say the "timing"... . I always thought timing meant at what poing in the piston stroke the fuel was injected but I could be wrong here... professional mechaninc I ain't.



I had my HX40 on before I got the Comp, but I'd think under heavy acceleration, on a high level, like 5x5, the OEM turbo is gonna have a tough time getting enough air into the cylinders to keep EGT levels in check, especially if you have non-stock injectors. But that's what gauges are for, so you can expirement with your truck and find out what you can and can't safely do

Tom,I cant believe that with dd3's and the sub level on 5,you only get a little smoke , If i put my sub level on 5,its almost impossible to not fog the area. The sticks must be much easier to control smoke with.
