The Edge Juice is a completely
weatherproof module that easily installs underneath
the hood. With the addition of the Attitude
monitor you can add five levels of adjustable
power ranging - from 30 to 120 horsepower* -
and increase torque up to 275 foot pounds*.
The Juice greatly improves responsiveness and
driveability, while at the same time increasing
fuel economy.
The Juice communicates along the engine’s
CAN-BUS data stream, from which it receives
vital engine, transmission, and fuel system
information. This enables the Juice to provide
smooth and precise power curves that are truly
custom, rather than just an offset from stock.
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”.
