Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Edge Comp Questions.....

[Hohn]

Sorry for all the ignorant questions-- you guys help so much!



I have been telling myself that THe Edge EZ is what I am looking for with the big injectors. Now I am looking more at the Edge Comp.



What is the Comp like if I don't connect the pump wire? Is it basically just like the EZ? Would I have the boost fooler function intact?



I want to buy only ONE box, but I am not yet ready to tap the pump. I am almost there. . but I want to see what kind of reliability I have on this VP-44 and it's feeder system. I only have 1500 miles on my truck, so it's too early to know if I have a bum setup.



BTW-- Fuel Press gauge goes in when I get home from Oman!! (15 Dec)

Try the EZ

Try the EZ first. The shop I bought mine at said to try it for a month and if I was not happy they would upgrade to the comp and only make me pay the difference. That way you only buy one box and if your not happy with the EZ you can upgrade to a comp without getting stuck with an extra box to sell. I would think most shops would be willing to do this. I was happy with the performance of the EZ and unwilling to tap the pump wire yet this is a cost effective way to try them out.

I agree with Hoss.



One thing to note. It seems that the ETH likes Injectors better than Major fueling boxes that tap the pump wire.



A timing box and a set of injectors on an ETH ROCKS!

What he said!

Diesel Freak is right, my next BOMBS are DD2's and a four inch exhaust. I love my EZ but I rode in a buddies truck with an EZ and DD3's WOOOOOOOOHOOOOO but I do not need the smoke so I'll stick with DD2's (yeh right) Seriously I would go with an EZ and injectors before I would pierce the wire.

Injectors and and EZ will give all the power a SANE person will likely need!



THAT said, injectors and the Comp will give you a HUGE amount of operator control right from the driver's seat that the EZ will NOT! I use my truck a high percentage of time towing an RV - but empty on grocery runs, my "needs" from the Comp are totally different than when towing - and the settings on the Comp are right there at my fingertips! That can be especially valuable if your wife or others drive your truck occasionally...



If you even SUSPECT you might eventually want a COMP, why bother with buying and installing *2* boxes? Simply buy and install the Comp - leave the pump wire off initially - and when yer ready to graduate to full power, simply connect the pump wire - that's what I did with mine...

BTW... my last Publicly Verifiable dyno run at Spokane Washington during Diesel Thunder I put down 370 RWHP! This is with the Puck (does the same thing as an EZ or VA) and DD3's



another ETH with a COMP and DD2's made 365 RWHP

The Highest HP numbers I have seen with an ETH/DD2's/COMP were 383 HP.



It seems to me that Running a Wire Tap box on an ETH really is not worth it.



Vaughn MacKenzie cranked out just over 350 HP with his ETH/DD2, VA combo



Evan Beck Cranked out 391 HP with his ETH/Black DD3, EZ combo at Diesel Dymnamics with the stock turbo.



A timing box and a set of Injectors on an ETH is the way to go! Oo.
