Smoke Switch For The Idiots

[Johnny Cetane]

Alright I can't take it anymore with these idiots around here i live. I want one and will promise to only use it for the ones that really deserve it.

Is there a way to SAFELY make up a smoke switch on the D'Max?

I don't want to set codes if I use it and I don't want to hurt anything either.

I have been thinking about this alot lately actually. And the only way I can think of that would be a "smoke switch" is to put a cable operated valve, or electronic valve on the IC tube, where its tapped for the boost gauge. Then, at will, you could flip the switch to open the valve, or pull the cable to open it, and you would lose boost, therefore creating LOTS OF SMOKE..


Just a thought. -

but wait.. I see a certain DMAX KNowledgebase is also viewing this thread..


C'mon Rick.. hopefully you can shed some light on how we can do this? -

I like killing the boost for the shear smoke of it all, but you loose power when doing this too. You can also set some under boost codes IIRC. It would need to be metered and fine tuned for the best results.


A dsp 2 or 5 switch gets the job done for sure. Thats what I use.

Tuners can set up a "smoke" tune and still have just the right amount of power.

BTW, we need a smoke smilie! I'll see if I can find one. -

i need to rig my dsp5, but im too lazy to mount the dern switch and write a tune for it, but a smoke tune would be nice to have to mess with peoople -

dsp2 and dsp5 is great, unless you have an LBZ/LMM... hmm..


What can I adjust on my PPE to create more smoke? -

[RickDLance]

I'll bet you could rig some sort of a "lier"" switch on the boost pressure sensor. A switch that would alter the signal sent to the ecm, fooling it into thinking it was making more boost then it was.

Kind of a boost stick in reverse. -

I have the same magnaflow too and love it, you can usually get a used one on ebay or cragislist. I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Magnaflow 16742. Also some of the forum sponsors usually have a sale going on. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install. -

Wait iv heard of idiots that remove the wastegate line so that no PSi is built up therefor the spooling and making alot of smoke.
Does that work? -
