I'm curious. I live up here in WA where we have 92 octane. The base maps on your site are either for 91 or 93, which do you recommend someone like me to use as a starting point for the SMART setup? I personally have a custom tune, but others who don't might want to know too. I imagine it doesn't really matter but who knows without asking....

Thanks,
Sam

4) Get your boost table filled in so that you are seeing your desired boost level/MAF targets. XEDE will log MAF info as well.

5) Activate SMART timing, fuel, boost and let that do its thing.

On number 4 do we have to tell the SMART system how much air flow we want at a certain RPM and it will hold it? And that means that we need to find out what boost number equals x airflow at y RPM? Sence the Ve of any given engine will be different due to its inherent flow characteristics we will have to produce this map and the the SMART system will keep x airflow at y RPM which would equate to a certain amount of boost? These question may be a bit inane, but I just want to understand how it is able to hold a boost # and this is the only way I see right now with what is available. You may know of several different ways for this to work however....
At this point, #4 involves you filling in the boost tables with duty cycles (0-100) until the desired boost (from boost gauge) or MAF (from xede logs) are acheived. The SMART boost feature will simply adjust it up and down according to conditions. We're working on software updates that will allow the user to just punch in boost/MAF targets instead but that is still a little ways off.

If you are running 92oct, go ahead and run the 93oct map with SMART activated. If it is too aggressive, it will make the necessary realtime adjustments.

Each SMART XEDE should come with a decal that says "Got SMART?"

Shiv,
will the obd2 reader/scanner automatically clear the codes? what if it is a code other than P0300 and it clears automatically we'd never know of any issues?

No it will not. I have tested this a bunch of times. For instance, with the OBD reader in, i pulled the TPS connector, and it tripped the code. The code did not clear until the problem was fixed.

Dustin, I pre-ordered my S.M.A.R.T. system upgrade several days ago and would like to know If I could do most of the installation myself before I see Shiv at Tuning Technologies? You could PM me if you need to verify my name and ordering info.
