S.M.A.R.T. & Methanol Question

Before I preorder the S.M.A.R.T. system, I need to understand something:

If the S.M.A.R.T. system constantly updates the fuel trim, how does this work with methanol injection, whereby the fuel requirements change instantly with the onset of injection?

The underlying map must be a methanol map. One cool feature for methanol users is the fact that it will add in fuel if a lean condition is induced from a cut or clogged line. You won't find that safety in any other kit on the market.

Dustin, this will work only if the S.M.A.R.T. system is monitering the water/methanol system correct? I am using the Aquamist 2D on my Evo and need to figure a way to make this work with my new S.M.A.R.T. system.

I am interpreting "methanol map" as any map that has been previously tuned to adjust the WOT fuel trim to accomodate the methanol, correct (i.e. it is compatible with my existing V3 methanol map)?

If so, you are essentially telling me that the S.M.A.R.T. system operates in conjunction with the loaded map, so if the maps are switched, the S.M.A.R.T. system is effectively 'switched' as well. In other words, what it learns from one map is not applied to the other map (which wouldn't fare well for obvious reasons).

Is this correct?

Yes thats right the "learning" is real time dependant on conditions- thats the beauty of SMART
