Brake Pressure Switch for launch control ???

[dean ribeiro]

I have a new stocker that has a brake pressure switch for launch control and I am trying to understand how it works and how to set it properly? I am just an old 2 step switch kind of guy (and am easily confused).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Look up Folk race cars. They have one worked really well. They are in Illinois last i heard.

Folk Race cars closed. The switch you want has an adjustable pressure Range 100 to 1000 PSI. 3 wires. Black wire is not used.
Recommend wiring power to it thru a 3rd gear micro switch.
Power is removed to the BPS when in 3rd gear ( if a 3sp Auto)
This will allow you to apply brakes at 1,000 and the 2 step will not be activated.
Set up a LED light in the circuit so you know when the 2 step is powered up with right brake PSI
Believe they are 200.00 or so.

The pressure switch is adjusted to close a set of electrical tips . When the brake pressure is reached voltage is pass to the 2 step device . Usually
There is toggle switch to select between 2 step and 3 step for the water burn out

Has anyone done this with Precision Shifter forward pattern? Can someone send me a pic or point me to a good reliable microswitch and mount? Thanks!

Does the car have a 2 step or a 3 step? No matter the brake pressure switch should send power to the rev control when you reach the pressure setting of the switch. Power to the switch could possibly be controlled by a high gear switch on the shifter or in the transmission so the pressure switch loses power in high gear and cannot activate the 2 step if you brake driving the stripe. If the switch is adjustable you just need to set it for the brake pressure you stage with. I wired mine with a small LED so I know when power is going to the rev control as I don't have a brake pressure gauge.

I did that to my PP shifter Bobby, only activates in first gear. I mounted to the right side. I?ll take pics when I get home. Same brake switch too..
