The
Juice also monitors the transmission slippage when the torque
converter clutch is engaged. The power level is decreased
if any slippage is detected. This prevents damage from being
caused to the transmission, and also prevents the power train
from erroneously generating fault codes and entering “limp
mode”.
The Juice
also limits the amount of power increase during transmission
shifts when the torque converter clutch is engaged and also
when the torque converter clutch is being engaged. This allows
the torque converter clutch to engage without slippage causing
“limp mode”.
When
the torque converter clutch is engaged, fifth gear on the
Allison 1000 transmission will hold about 680 foot pounds
of torque before slipping. Gears 2-4 with the torque converter
clutch engaged have never slipped in Edge’s testing. (We have
tested over 900 foot pounds of torque with no slippage). Without
the sophisticated transmission monitoring that the Juice performs,
the total power increase would need to be limited to the weakest
conditions to prevent “limp mode”.
Unlike
other products on the market, The Juice allows for moving
power to be put to the ground under all conditions without
transmission slippage or “limp mode”. When the torque converter
clutch is engaged in fourth gear and under a heavy load, the
Hot Juice should provide about 30-32 psi of boost, if the
waste gate has been disabled on the turbo. Fifth gear will
provide about 25-26 psi of boost when the torque converter
clutch is engaged. |
