Poll: What would you like to see as the next Smarty improvement

[brods]

Anything else?

 

[JApol]

I voted 2 and 3.



Option 2 would be nice to have but they way that the smarty is setup, unrealistic. Everything that the Smarty does is enside the ECM vise Edge or another product that changes the signals going into the ECM, leaving the ECM with the stock programming.



Option 3 would also be a very nice option but leaves a very serious question. "Would it still be undetectable by Dodge?" 3 years ago I had my tire size changed by the dealer to 35". I am currently running my stock size tires so i HAVE to have the Smarty loaded to get the right speed indications.

Another question is how to limit the adjustment to only one truck. Once the ECM is returned to stock the Smarty is no longer VIN locked to that vehicle.



Option 1. If you have a stock vehicle you can get some haze from the exhaust pipe if you really get on it. If you want to guantee yourself to totally smokeless run, load up the half power program and I will PROMISE you, you will not smoke. I will even be suprised if you get over 25 PSI on the boost gauge. I had problems getting over 750 on the pyro also.

make my right foot feel like it's got a P-pump under it!

The way Smarty works on the fly is impossible.....

What I would really like to see, on the Jr too, is the ability to set the wastegate... I do want to built a little more boost than stock, but not unlimited, I would like to have the option to set it at say 35... I tow at altitude and don't want to overspeed the turbo since the wastegate is disabled.

That would be cool

Better fuel economy.

The only thing keeping me from buying the Smarty Jr. is the smoking issue that has been reported...

 

[Bob Wagner]

we believe the smoke may be fuel related. Marco will be here next month and we are beta testing a new software now.



Lots of changes coming up to make our products even better.



Thanks

Thanks

If its fuel, why doesn't it smoke in stock form?

this morning (63 deg. and low humidity) I was getting a light haze just normal driving on an uphill section of road in Santa Monica! (latest beta SJR software)

Thanks Bob... . I hope you don't take threads like this in a negative way... we get so much from you guys that we are always thinking more more more

I should be able to load that beta software up this weekend and hit the road with it. I will be towing next on the 14th of June.

Too bad I wont be at the folks in Duvall next month, I would come meet you and Marco.

Smarty keeps getting better and better. Just when I think it can't get any better they come out with something new and improved. I believe I've up dated mine 6 times.

 

[jmccart]

I want the heater grid to be permanently disabled.

Anything else?

I would like the top speed limiter disabler like the SM. SR

Option 2 would be nice to have but they way that the smarty is setup, unrealistic. Everything that the Smarty does is enside the ECM vise Edge or another product that changes the signals going into the ECM, leaving the ECM with the stock programming. Maybe there is not enough memory in the ECM to have two complete programs and alternate between them... . but why not a detune mode where an external switch to an ECM input tells the Smarty performance program to detune in such a way to make stock like power and smoke? Doesn’t the ECM do things similar to this already, like TQ mgt?



Option 3 would also be a very nice option but leaves a very serious question. "Would it still be undetectable by Dodge?" 3 years ago I had my tire size changed by the dealer to 35". I am currently running my stock size tires so i HAVE to have the Smarty loaded to get the right speed indications.

Another question is how to limit the adjustment to only one truck. Once the ECM is returned to stock the Smarty is no longer VIN locked to that vehicle. Making the Smarty detectable would be the best thing imho. No more temptation for the unscrupulous to commit warranty fraud. Though I guess that topic doesn't need to be rehashed yet again :-{} lol.



The second part brings up a good question: If you have the dealer adjust the tire size on the stock program and then you load a smarty program, when you go back to the stock program, which tire size setting do you get?





Option 1. If you have a stock vehicle you can get some haze from the exhaust pipe if you really get on it. If you want to guantee yourself to totally smokeless run, load up the half power program and I will PROMISE you, you will not smoke. I will even be suprised if you get over 25 PSI on the boost gauge. I had problems getting over 750 on the pyro also. Stock like smoke is ok. Clouds of smoke that other drivers steer around are unacceptable. I would gladly accept some turbo lag to eliminate the smoke bombs. I do not want to have to “drive” my truck in a special way as a work around for smoky software.

Anybody know how to edit a poll to add more choices?

 

[MA2LA]

I guess the smoke issue would be the main thing. getting rid of the sped limiter maybe( I tend to use everything I have so keeping it stock is a good thing for me. other than that Jr is a great box.

 

[KKunz]

I really miss the antitheft software and the ½ power setting that the vp44 smarty has. Also an adjustable RPM maybe between idle and 4000 rpm

 

[juicedcummins]

I would like my overdrive off option back that I lost with the Smarty jr. Something that should be in the Smarty to start with.



Overall Smarty is a great product but does have enough smoke that I go to stock to pull my fiver.

 

[Mobius1]

Maybe enable smarty to do more features like chrysler scan tool drb3 can do like injector kill electronic solenoid testing to name a few...

 

[KHaines]

Adjust on the fly is more important than being detectable.
