hey since im a newbie and i cant send PMs till i post 10 times i figured id just post my question. btw if you read this cody, this is chuck who bought your red truck. my question is, and im sure theres a thread on here that i just couldnt find, i should have my twins setup here by fridayish and i want to rig up a smoke button off of the BOV. do i need any special BOV or will any one work and what all do i need to do? thanks-chuck

 

Welcome to DB!!!

 

can you put a "smoke" button on a 12v, im guessin this is just the same as a smoke switch on a 24 v, i dont know



any woo welcome to DB

 

welcome to diesel bombers. ive neer heard of a smoke button. i got a pretty good idea what your talking about. but where do you get one/ make one and how does it work on 24 V

 

im guessin its the same as a smoke switch that you tap into one of your map sensor wires which is why i dont know how you put one on a 12v.

 

if it is an electric BOV you can use a switch to make it stay open so it would let out all the boost and you would just throw out tons of fuel


somehow

 

you dont mean 'valet switch' do you?

 

thats the only thing i would know of that would work on a 12v as a smoke switch, the valet switch is probably what he meant

 

nice to see you made it. how i did mine was i got a BD turboguard which has an electric solenoid to hold boost to the top of the valve. when actuated it releases pressure in intake tube and thus blows off. it also comes with a controller that uses the voltage from the tps to blow it off automatically when a set amount of voltage is lost.

I hooked a 12v power wire from a momentary switch with a 5amp fuse hooked to the power wire to the solenoid.

when one pushes the button, the truck will build no more than 5lbs of boost no matter what you do. works good, things can get hot quick, so watch EGT's.

Let me know of anything else i can help ya with.
