Been thinking about it, but would anyone care to shed some light on easiest way of making one please...less i need to think about

 

fab up a switch that will keep your wastegate open all the time, and close when the switch is moved

 

not what im lookin for... Im trying to make a switch for an electrical circuit that will open or closed based on boost pres. ie.0-10psi closed circuit...11psi+--open circuit
Tony1 correct me if im wrong but while attempting to disect jojo's engine bay during nopi nats i noticed something that i beleived was a boost dependent switch cant remember what it was like though

I think they're called Hobbes switches. Don't quote me on that though...

 

thx cheezefrog thats a start!

 

hobbes switch sounds right... a switch connected to the intake that will open with a change in pressure...

 

yeah, they can be bought.. no need to make one.. they are called hobbs switches...

I have seen people using them for things like shutting off nitrous at at certain boost pressure.. they can be pretty handy...

or they are for sale here -> http://www.turboimports.com/tu....html

 

Hobbes switches are correct. these are a cooler looking and cheaper alternative! I have one that i picked up for 25$ a while ago, have yet to use it but it looks like it will do the trick quite nicely and it's adjustable and just installs inline w/ any vaccum source. can either power on or power off something, would work for nitrous till you get to 10psi or something like that.


this guy has like 10 for sale at all times so there are enough for everyone.

Thanks alot guys..This is what i was looking for Always can depend on Honda-techers

 

no problem.

 

NAPA has Hobb's switches, I think they were like 26 bucks, but I can't be positive. Try searching Google for the part number.

I've used a NAPA one in the DSM, and it worked great.

 

That's what I use for home made water injection. comes on at 8psi.

 

I think i'm kinda late here, but they are called hobbs switches...
