Want Launch Control? Do It Yourself

First, go to: http://www.vishnutuning.com/secret/ and download the SMART templates w/ launch control. If you are not using XMap 3.2 then you will need to upgrade first, but that's another thread.

1. Once you have the SMART templates downloaded open up your current map that's in the XEDE and save it to your laptop.

2. With the map open highlight the all the cells (top left corner to bottom right corner) in the "Fuel" map and right click somewhere on the map. Then click "copy map data"

3. Exit the map and open up the new SMART template w/ launch control. Go to the "Fuel" map and right click the top left corner cell. Then click "paste map data". The data from your old map will appear.

NOTE: make sure the data is all in the correct cells.

4. Save the map and rename it.

5. Re-open the original map and repeat the same procedure for the timing, Boost, SMART timing (if different), and SMART fuel (if different). Make sure to save your progress everytime you close out your launch control map.

It's a bit of work going back and forth from map to map, but not too difficult.

NOTE: Make sure to double check all the maps and check the 3D graphs for any out of place values.

Good luck and keep those TC's in the cars

Should the smart fuel and smart timing tables be zeroed out, or should they have values in it, or does it even matter if you're not using the smart hardware? The table I downloaded has values in it and I was just wondered if I should be concerned.

They should have values if using smart.
If not a smart user, zero them both out.
But do NOT zero out smart boost.

Just wanted to say thanks to jj 008 for the instructions on how to do this. I don't know why I didn't have enough common sense to do this in the first place, but I got it set up in 10 minutes and was ready to go. Works great, but I think it's time to lose the stock clutch. Anyway, thanks again.

Okay .... now that map making 101 is complete.....I want to go to map editing 301.

How can I get rid of the SMART maps? I dont like having to store and load extra maps that contain all zero values. I doubt you can just edit and delete those maps but if its that easy...great.

i believe that if you dont have smart, all you have to do is zero out those tables. not 100% positive. search. i've read it before on here.

That is true, but Jeff_Jeske probably wants launch control in both map banks of the XEDE. With SMART w/ launch control you can only have one set of maps in the XEDE (no map switching).

I will have to mess around w/ my maps later, but I am pretty sure you can delete just the SMART maps.

Follow the chain of logic from one map to the other...

The output of one map can be the input to another. If that chain is broken, and the signals (CAS, MAF) aren't directed to properly pass through the Xede, you may have just "broken" your map.

I believe you can create a new map with new tables, and import the necessary values from your existing SMART-enabled map file.

The flow of logic in the SMART maps has been posted in this forum before (by Shiv?).

I agree that there is a way....I just dont have to time to research the chain of logic....thought maybe one of you fellas would be on winterm break with nothing else to do but figure this crap out.

Basically I want to have both a LC/NTLS non-smart 93 octane map and a custom mileage map with low BCS utilization. I have been able to increase my mileage by 5mpg by running a low boost highway map for road trips.

I guess I needed to be a little more clear about just "deleting" the SMART maps. You are right and the paths are layed out in the XEDE map. I think I just need to modify the paths and delete the SMART maps. I will give it a try later.

Do you have a like to the thread shiv posted about linking maps......I'll have a little time tonight to give a map an abortion.

I don't have a link, but I think I remember seeing it in the SMART instructions on Vishnu's website.
