Hey all,
Quick questions on the Xede and its MAP switching function. I understand that when the 2 wires in question are separated that the Xede defaults to the primary MAP (93 octane in my case). When Vishnu sent the Xede to me a secondary MAP (100 octane) was downloaded. I also understand that when these wires are connected it should switch to the secondary MAP.

1) What I don't understand though is how will I know which MAP I am in when I put a toggle switch between the 2 wires since the LED will be green for both sides of the toggle?

2) Also, in a related question does anyone know of a safe, reliable octane booster to get to 100 octane from 93?

Thanks

 

I'd like to add to this, can you change maps while the car is running?

you can change maps while car is running

Get a toggle switch that is either closed or open...when it is open it is on the pump gas and when closed it is on race and so on....I position a toggle so in the "UP" position it is logical to the idea of "UPPING" power

You can use Xylene to raise octane, but I would not rely on the Octane being a true 100oct

In my case when the wires are disconnected it means map number 1 which is 91 gas and when the wires are connected it means map number 2 which is my race map.

About the gas your booster will be straight 100 octane from the gas station .

 

Ahhh! Ok. The switch thing makes alot more sense now.

I knew the 100 octane at the stations was the way to go I was just hoping there would be a more convenient way then having to fill a couple gas cans, haul it home, get a funnel....I know, I know I'm whining. Seriously though! Thanks for the tips guys.

 

I know there's an LED on the Xede to indicate which map is "on". Is there a way to "extend" that LED to mount next to toggle switch?

 

This is how I did mine white(i did not have red paint handy) is slow, green is GO.
