Hey guys I'm new to the Forum and Spartan setup. One thing I was sure of that there was a turbo timer for letting it cool down and shut it self off after the key has been removed and the doors locked. My edge chip had one(junk) but it was a peppy 80Hp chip, but it had the turbo timer and that was the most favorite add on ever. If there is not one can if be programmed, I was told it was limitless buy a few guys.
Couple other things.
1) any links to better mounting options?
2)210 isn't as fast as crisp of a shift as the EDGE chip was, will the 275 be what I'm looking for. I was told they had to program it to shift stiff to preserve tranny. Then I heard the shifts that save the tranny are very abrupt, but traction bars take care of that. I put on bars and now I hear that the abrupt shifting is hard on tranny and TCM is recommended, as well as upgraded TCM for longevity. So was the hard shifting saving the tranny? Did I need traction bars? Thanks for info, not at all upset just lookin for info
3)Any time I step on my throttle 75% depressed my DD starts beeping, have no idea whats beeping, I set a few voice alerts and still I'm hearing beeping, but voice commands too. Are these set way to low or am I really doing damage and need to back off. I go a little over 50% throttle and I hear Fule rail pressure voice warning.
4) How do I know what its warning me about. I've tried logging but have no idea how to read the logging, its a bunch of straight lines on diffrent logs and others are up and down but it shows me nothing that is usefull to me. Like no time line and measurements of where the lines are hitting.
5)Is there a tire size recalculator for this thing?
6)How do I get the metal background, its not on my dashdaq? I believe I read I have to put my truck back to stock, back up my firmware( i have the
2.1.1 1633 on the CD that came with it so do i really need to back it up? Then down load the 2.1.2 1900 or somthing like that right?
7)Another thing my truck stock could hit 35lbs of boost no problem. But I noticed my DD is set for 35 to be the alarm and 40 to be the max. I hammered on it up a hill and couldn't get more than 35. Can I get more from changing the limit, and is it really dangerous and something I shouldn't do?
8)Everyone made me kinda think I would get scary power out of the 210 tuner, i had the edge chip with 80hp and could chirp the tires. I cant break my tires loose with the 210 tune unless I power brake, how is that possible, is the 210hp total only 210 toward the end of the gear later in the RPM range. Before I only had the Edge and the AFE intake and now I have a cat/dpf delete and my tires dont break loose on flat ground with my 37"s and I'm only running .5 second faster on the 1/4 mile. Is my parameters and warnings set on my DD to cut out? Kinda feels like if I ease through the gear there is more gradual power rather than WOT, WOT seems kinda dogish compared to gradual WOT. Like if it took me 3.5 seconds to fully depress the throttle it seems to run smoother and harder but still not just as much better as I imagined it would.
9)I'm thinking the 250 or 275 tunes results is maybe what I expected. But now I hear my Job 1 is recommended to have a new torque converter and TCM for longevity. I know this is recommended for the 310 as its making the tranny last longer. So all I need to know is being that this is my daily driver would I be stupid to do the, lets say 275 without either the TCM or tourque converter, because I'm being told my job#1 is garbage and the life will be greatly shortened.
Thanks guys
