Not a real tech Que so i tossed it in here

Has anyone who runs an electric cutout finaggled a way to make it open with throttle?

Like say I had a seperate toggle that when i flipped it on and put the hammer down, the cut out would open with throttle blade so the more you got on it, the more it opened?

dunno just wonderin...hmmm there i go again.. sometimes my bright ideas turn out to be dimwitted like me but damn my car is runnin sweet
2 more offers to buy it today but once again i passed on em
 
That's a sweet idea! That would so be cool has Hell. New product! Make it, you will sell a buncha of them. Your read it here first! I would buy stock in that company/product and buy the product!
 
Ive seen controllers for the cutouts but from what i read it looks like they only have preset adjustments for them so after you preset, you flip the toggle and it opens to your setting.

IM thinking along the lines of seperate toggle that i can hit real quick, then when i launch during streetrace it opens as i increase throttle.

I can pull wire and solder but dreaming up a flux capacitor to make it work is another story
 
How long does it take to open it?

At what TPS do you want it to assume you are racing?

How do you want it to close?

Shouldn't be too hard to design with some decent information.

Do you currently just hold down a manual momentary switch until it gets real loud, how do you know it's fully open? By guessing the time?, or is there a feedback circuit switch with a light that comes on when open?
 
Finish your electric fan for the intercooler first :biggrin: :biggrin:

The cutouts work with a double momentary switch. Press one way to open and press the other way to close. You WILL know when it is fully open. :biggrin: Only takes about 2 seconds to open fully.

Problem is, you have to let off the switch once it is at the full open or closed position or you will burn the motor out.
 
lol..i got my brackets built...having fun driving for right now

hurry up and ship me my cutout slacker...shoulda been here by now...after all i ordered it last night

yeah Mark I understand the switch but i was curious as to if any one set one up to say... read volts from tps and open accordingly er somthin along those lines

I guess I could rig up the switch near my right arm so i can hit it without looking over on dash while im concintwating on a race
 
Just put the switch in one of our ashtray switch panels!:biggrin: That's where I have mine.
 
A momentary switch can drive a flip flop and a 555 timer to open and close the thing for say 3 seconds of juice through a relay, 2.5 seconds or even more precise timing can easily be achieved if needed.

That switch could easily be incorporated into the TPS trigger but one might want an on/off pre-activation switch for it as well, if you set the TPS to say 3 volts you may not be fully open until you are racing.

Simple stuff here but you really have to know how you want it to work. :confused:

A simple timer activated by a momentary switch could easily be done.

How much current does the motor take to run it?
 
Not sure who makes it but the vw guys use one that has a bulit in map sensor. I think it was also a 3 bar sensor but Im not sure. I will look into it and see who it is that sells them.

UM......LOL
I just ordered it so it will be a few till i get it, IM prepared for possible lean when its wide open but Sav, your way beyond me, i can pull wire, simple hook ups etc but with out directions i cant run down to radio shack and rig up what i need.

I was thinking of the on/off for activation so only if i flipped switch would it work with say the tps.
 
Someone on this board (I think) made a boost operated cutout that used a stock wastegate actuator to swing the cutout open.

There was a post about it maybe last year or the year before. I'm too lazy to look for it.
