Simple Newbie 2 step ???
I have been reading old threads, and I am wondering, on a 2step, can't I just wire the low rpm side into a simple pushbutton mounted in the brake pedal, off to the left side? Then when I footbrake I release it the same time as the brake pedal, and when I stop normally I shouldn't touch it. The car is auto and no line loc.

I hope that you aren't trying to 2-step a carbureted, turbo V6. That could get ugly.

So, you're saying I should not mess with the 2step? I only considered it since it came with the MSD box I bought. Guess I can ebay it and put that back into the pot!

Re: Simple Newbie 2 step ???
What would it do to the turbo/motor? I'm curious what kind of bullet I'm dodging by not using it?

Billly,
The Buicks "draw through" the carb. You actually need the 2 step so you can hold the brakes and build boost on the line. |
Re: Simple Newbie 2 step ???
Its actually a "draw through" whereas the fuel is pulled into the intake. The carb mounts to the left of the turbo intake on a plenum and draws over to the intake. Will it still be the same problem?

The two step is okay with the pedal switch but here's the problem: As the boost climbs, so does the stall speed. It will eventually level off with a 2 step, but with every snap ,crackle and pop, it will still climb. You've got to be ready for a quick tree, so, seeing you'll leave first 95 % of the time anyway, as soon as you see 4 stage bulbs, you need to go to the floor as quick as you can. Better chance you'll be maxed out with boost...If not...you had a bad day! |

Mark,
You are exactly right. I had a bad day racing Billy at Indy a few years ago with the Capri. Quote:

Well Iraceitall, there you have it from people that have much more experience with turbos than I do.
