I have read through the Max Extreme manual top to bottom a dozen times trying to configure this with my AEM Infinity ECU. I am going to use a two step controller through the AEM ECU to launch the car.
The two step function works like this:
If the car is not moving, as it is staged on the line; one is able to fully depress the throttle and the ECU will hold the launch RPM at a predetermined point. I also have an adjustable clutch control for the launch in first gear. When the car is line locked on the starting line I depress the clutch and enable the adjustable release which will hold the clutch depressed and ready for the release button to engage the clutch.
This is my dilemma, and I can not figure it out. The clutch is equipped with a switch when depressed to recognize gear shifts (12v for the Max), and the throttle is able to be fully depressed for the entire run (full throttle shifting through the AEM ECU) as stated so I can not control the max by TPS or RPM drop which leaves the 12v switched gear input.
It is not installed yet but is currently being configured for the above criteria.
My questions are this:
How will the Max behave on the starting line with the throttle fully depressed?
How can the MAX be made to begin the first gear ramp with the release button for the clutch?
The clutch switch is functional when fully depress for the Max and able to step through the gears with the 12v gear input function. When on the line and the clutch is held electronically, the pedal will return to it's normal position (non 12v) but resting. I have wrestled with this and can not grasp it yet as it is not installed completely yet. A very long and well explained answer is MUCH desired. If I have to return my MAX for reprogramming to preform as above with a specially configured input, that's fine also. I have a few more pieces to order from you very soon and can send it along for any more current features. It's still in the box Trever, but it's getting closer to the car as I begin wiring the vehicle for these ECU and Max controllers.
Maybe it would be possible to withhold the RPM signal from the Max Extreme prior to the launch and enable it exactly when the clutch controller is released. This might allow the 1st gear step to proceed and await the gear select inputs to control the progression. If the RPM signal was removed (sensing nothing), then was connected; when the RPM window criteria is met the Max should begin to operate......correct?
