2 step & pressure switch
Has anyone ever had an issue with your 2 step not turning off clean during the launch?
I have developed a studder during the launch. It shows the O2's going rich almost like it's a ignition thing. |

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
I assume you have a data recorder in the car. We bring the
12v signal from the pressure switch / 2 step into a digital input Then you can see the 12 v drop and rpm increase. Our O2 sensor goes rich on the hit also.I assumed it has to do with the vacuum secondary in the carb David |

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
David, I do have a Racepak. I will order the 12 volt event sensor.
Steve, good point. I will change it out while I'm at it. Thanks, Mike |

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
Some pressure switches have buna type o-rings or wetted parts. Buna rubber is not compatible with brake fluid. EPDM rubber is compatible with brake fluid. Virtually all brake o-rings, seals, etc are edpm rubber. Not sure as to what extent that has with the switch, but I know one person who had a switch go bad and his had buna rubber parts.

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
I get your using brake pressure switch but are you using one in conjunction with a button on the brake pedal. If you are that's the first thing I would get rid of.

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
I was doing research on switches and most have buna rubber. I think there is a place on the east coast that has epdm rubber pressure switches. I think that it is saved on my work computer. I will check and see.

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
If someone could share what brand pressure switch they have had good results with it would be greatly appreciated!

Re: 2 step & pressure switch
I use a Harley brake lite switch, no problem in the 5 years it's been in place.
I've also used Napa SL147 and SL143, both VW brake lite switches. Grant
