this is the sender that number i was given buy quad for the fuel PSI sender. it would be safe to say that any 240-33 ohm sender would work as well.

I run the quad with the parts listed in my sig + plus some extras, and i have run this truck at a best of 13.099 at 102mph. there is more in it i just need to play with the twins a little more and that was with the adrenaline on level 7 with the beta 3000 tune. This Weds is a test and tune night and i will see if i can sneak away to go play some more with it if not it will be Saturday for the E.T. races.

The little bit of surging issues with the beta tunes is due to the aggressive fueling this unit has and it does it only under light throttle because it wants to fuel harder then the TPS is telling it to IMO. once you hammer it there is no surging issues i can find.

Well, if the 0-100 sender will work, NAPA has one if that makes it easier for some people to find one. I'll look for the part # later.

For the guys asking about running the control pod.......If you are running a tune with de-fueling in it, then YES, you must connect the pyro for the control pod. The de-fueling will not work unless the control pod (pyro) is hooked up. You have to plug the control pod in to change the PL's though.

I tee'd my fuel pressure gauge and the control pod to run both so I can check the accuracy of the two.

Some guys are splicing their exitsting pyro with the pyro on the control pod/Pulse and running them together. I've heard that can cause problems with the reading due to resistance, true or not, IDK, but I didn't do it. I'm only runnin the pyro on the Pulse.

like in the title the truck would not turn off after cooling past 300deg.

Make sure you have the fuse tap on fuse #9 in the fuse box. The TT will not work if the fuse tap is not on that fuse.

What is Stage 3,I would like to no that

Custom tuning (actually it's stage 3.5, i think). I just got a call today, and all of the beta Pulse monitors have to be sent back in for an upgrade in order to use this feature. We haven't tested it yet though.

I want to hook a smoke swich up for hot rod week coming up how can i full the boost on the adrenaline for more smoke what wires do i need to tape in to to make it work

If you want smoke, then just run the Dyno tune, all the smoke you want.

DYNO TUNE



Sorry, I had to do it . When you get to the TUNES page on the Quad website, scroll all the way to the bottom, there are 2 extra tunes there.

No you dont need it but you wont have the EGT defuel feature with out it. i do not use the fuel PSI feature on mine, it has no bearing on the performance of the box.

Like DT said run the 3000 or the dyno tune you will have lots of smoke. the old smoke switch i used to run on the xzillaraider was between the light blue wire and the black with white stripe wire at the map sensor i believe. To be honest with you i didn't see much of a difference with it off or on.

I was wondering if the oil temperature sensor had anything to do with the warmup feature?
I was thinking of putting that oil temp sender in my rear diff and get a gauge for the tranny or vise versa.

No bearing on it at all, it gets that number from the OEM temp sender thru the ECM

It seems most of the questions have been answered very well but, I am just going to start at the top and throw my .02 in for everyone here.

I would like to ask about the fuel pressure sensor. What is a part # that is available at the local auto parts store that is working to give acurate readings of fuel pressure? I read it somewhere before, but can't find it now.

Right now I do not have an exact part #. I have heard of people using various part#'s that work but, until I can get my hands on some data sheets and test some of them then I am not going to commit to a part #. We are working with a new manufacturer but, it seems like we are still about 10 weeks out or so on getting a replacement part.

i would like to know when the pulse/ adren combo will be shipped

They started shipping yesterday and we hope to be caught up and out of bakcorders by the end of the week.

I didn't buy an Adrenaline w/PCM because of push backs on the delivery.

Well, this is the first time we actually released the pulse so it has not really been pushed back. We are expecting to be out of backorders this week so you should be able to find one somewhere in the next few days.

if you allready had gauges could you run the adren with out the pod?

You have to plug the ControlPOD in as that is what is used to adjust the Power Levels. Think of it as a switch. You do not hav to use any of the gauge functions or have to install the thermocouple or anything else.

you think its good enough for a 5 speed truck to pull a a mid 14 in the 1/4? maybe faster?

A lot will depend on how good you can shift and launch but, yes, it makes enough power to get you in that 14 second range with a stick if you can drive. Matter of fact, I think another member here ran a 14.5 with a stock turbo but, I am not sure what he has for injectors if anything?

has anyone else had a problem with it cutting out? how much smoke is it giving you too...(not that it really matters) ...Just curious

I want to clarify this because it seems to get mis-understood a lot. The "cutting out" is the trucks rev limiter. To fix it, shift. A lot of guys are working with me on some higher rpm tuning but, for everyday use you will not get "cutting out". We are just fueling so hard at the rev limiter it bounces off of it causing it to sound like it is cutting in and out.

Smoke will depend on which tunes you run. The 1000 tunes have some smoke but, for the most part it is really clean. The DYNO tune can shut traffic down.

like in the title the truck would not turn off after cooling past 300deg. i was in the house and noticed i could still hear it running. went out with keys in my hand, put them in, turned back on and off no help. put in gear and tryed to kill it. wouyld not die. had to open the fuse box(inside cab) before it would die. the dash still stayed on. so i pulled the adr out from under the hood. i am going to redownload the tune to c if that could be the prob. but this has been working properly for two days now. any help on this would b great. my truk is in my sig. thanks

Are you certain the ControlPOD was reading less than 300 deg? Also a light touch of the throttle pedal will kill it, you should not have to do anything with the fuse box.

Will any 240-33 ohm pressure sender work for the fuel pressure or does it have to specifically be a 0-40psi sender? Would the scaling be off with a 0-100 sender? The 0-40 ones are tough to find.

The sending unit is going to have to be a 240-33 ohm for it to work at all. It is possible that a 0-100 will work but, not likely. Each unit can can be scaled differently and that is what matters. The problem is getting a hold of a data sheet. If I have that I can tell you if it will work or how much it will be off.

so since i already have an egt and fuel pressure gauge do i really need to put adrenaline's egt and fuel stuff on too

Only if you want to use de-fueling or just want to watch it. Other than that, no you do not need to install it if you do not want to.

I want to hook a smoke swich up for hot rod week coming up how can i full the boost on the adrenaline for more smoke what wires do i need to tape in to to make it work

That won't work well on the Adrenaline. If you want smoke, download the dyno tune, it will smoke I promise.

It's the one labeled.......are ya ready??



DYNO TUNE



Sorry, I had to do it . When you get to the TUNES page on the Quad website, scroll all the way to the bottom, there are 2 extra tunes there.

Actually before you go into the Adrenaline Tuning page we now have a drop down box. The DYNO tune is listed under beta tunes.

I was wondering if the oil temperature sensor had anything to do with the warmup feature?
I was thinking of putting that oil temp sender in my rear diff and get a gauge for the tranny or vise versa.

The Oil temp sensor is simple a sensor that you can stick anywhere. As long as it is grounded you can measure anything you want between 100-280 degrees.

on the 2000 and 3000 tunes my truck is cutting in and out real bad a t 2900 RPMS even just free rev it to 2900 and it does it any ideas??

[Qzilla]

If you are free reving at high rpms and with the PL turned up you are getting more fuel than you can burn and it will stumble like that. If you throw some boost at it this won't happen, or in other words if you are under a load and driving it won't do that.
