Rocket Switch For Hi/lo Boost On A B-spec Ii

[profaine]

Hi, I didn't want to post this in the DIY as it is a question but wasn't sure where it should go.

In relation to this tutorial here;

About making and fitting a Profec B-spec II hi/low switch, I was just wondering would it be possible to use a missile switch, i.e. one that is either on or off (or in this case one would be hi and one low?). The reason i ask is; A) I already have a redundant missile switch in the dash courtesy of the old owner and B) Then you would know whether your in high/low just by looking (rather then boosting to find out!) because I am going to mount the controller in the glove box/out of view and access. I have been told it needs to be a momentary style switch but I haven't been able to get a definite confirmation.

If anyone knows how to do this, if it is possible, I would appreciate if they posted up instructions as I am not electronically savy enough to figure it out myself! Cheers

no, it needs a "momentary switch". each time the switch is selected it will change from one mode to the other.

so you can't have a switch where up is high boost and down is low boost, that is not the sort of input the controller expects.

you can however get a momentary swtich that looks like a "missile switch", when you push it up it will send the signal then return to the centre.
