I could find some info in my searches of peoples thoughts about the settings that come with Quads Adrenaline, but I couldn't find anything about the adjustability of the different parameters. Is it something where you start on say setting 7 and adjust rail pressure a positive or negative % or does it give you the actual rail pressure numbers? Does it allow you to adjust that all along the rpm curve? I'm trying to figure out exactly how much play you can have in customizing your own tunes.

 

It does not give you the actual rail pressure numbers. It is a percentage thing. I never have figured out exactly how it works myself, so I just leave it on the default settings.

 

I found this on the Forums by Quad... Helped me...

Custom Tuning
To use the Custom Tuning:
1.) Enter the main menu by pressing Menu button.
2.) Select the Customer Tuning by highlighting it and pressing Enter.
3.) Select either Tune Parameters or Load Tune by highlighting it and
pressing Enter.
Power Level:
Range: 4-14
Determines overall number of power levels including off. IE- 4 power
levels would be PL00 – PL01 – PL02 – PL03.
Power level 1 will always be the Max Mileage setting and can not be
changed.
Boost Scaling:
Range: 16-31 psi
Scales the fuel and timing maps base on boost. Lower boost numbers
are more responsive.
Rail Pressure MAX:
Range: 0-100%
Sets the throttle position where 100% fueling is reached.
Rail Pressure MIN:
Range: 0-100%
Sets the throttle position where the adrenaline will begin fueling.
Rail Pressure Scaling:
Range: 0-100%
Sets the Rail Pressure map to scale to your truck’s individual needs.
% Max Injector Stretch
Range: 0-100%
Sets how long the main injector stretch period is.
　
I think I can help you out! I have really neglected the 3rd gen guy with the Adrenaline in regards to information for sure!

There is a LOT you can do with stacking the Adrenaline. I am going to assume you have a Pulse also?

To start the basic adrenaline tunes typically work ok with stacking depending on the actual program you are running on the tuner. The one thing the Smarty seems to hate is how we do our fuel stretch.

IF you go into the custom tuning menu you have the ability to change these things:

Custom Tuning Options:
# of Power Levels (4-14)
Rail PSI Scale (0-100%)
Max Rail PSI (24000-28000psi)
Rail PSI TPS Max (0-100%) TPS% when you reach Max Rail Pressure
Rail PSI TPS Min (0-100%) TPS% when you start adding Rail Pressure
Boost Scaling (14-30psi)
Fuel Stretch MAX (0-100%)

Usually we start with the fuel stretch down at 25-30% when stacking. Make small incremental changes. Sometimes it feels like the difference is small but, when you hit that sweet spot you will know it. Sometimes this is just the difference of 5%.

The way our fuel stretch work is different than some boxes. We didn't want to double pulse the injectors so we use bus data combined with manipulation of the MAP sensor and rail pressure sensor to make the ECU stretch further than stock by quite a bit. This throws some of the downloaders into a spin and they don't really like it!

So start low and work your way up. If working up does not do what you want work down.

Max rail pressure is simply the max amount of rail pressure you want to see. If it goes above this we will back it down.

The rail pressure scale is a little tricky. Essentially this is the % of max rail pressure you want to use but, there is a twist. Because of the way the maps work (we don't just do pressure fooling like the cheap boxes, they are mapped off of a lot of things) you might want to crank your max rail pressure up and crank your scaling down. What happens is you end up with a lower peak rail pressure but, higher pressures earlier in the map than just turning the rail pressure max down.


Rail Pressure TPS Min. This is simply the starting TPS% where we start changing the rail pressure.

Rail Pressure TPS MAX. This is the TPS% that we reach max rail pressure at.

Now between those two we scale the entire map. So if you have Min=0% and Max=100% then the rail pressure increase will be totally linear from 0-100% TPS. If you have it set to something like min=30% max=40% then we will not start adjusting the rail pressure until 30% TPS but,we reach max at 40%. As you can tell this would not be desirable to drive. You would get all of the rail pressure adjustment available within 10% TPS.

Boost Scaling. This is used as a multiplier across the map after it is scaled via TPS. This allows you to increase or decrease ALL fueling based on boost. As you increase the boost scaling number we decrease the multiplier. For max fueling use the lowerst boost scale number.


I know it seems complicated but, if you remember this you will be able to use the tuning easily and as you start making changes it will all make sense!

 

Hmmm, so you can really only set mins, maxes and a few parameters and it designs its own curve based on that?
