You could do it yourself, but it'll be a lot easier once KP has his modules ready to go... Hopefully sflg will report back soon.

 

KEWL! Make me one.

 

"Hi, My name is Matt, and I'm a horsepower-aholic"

Its an addiction!

 

I'll be running one of these as soon as it's done, which would be cool because I WILL have my car back by the end of next month.

 

Well post a new thread up and tell us what you're doing already Craig.

Kevin let me know when you have one for me.

 

If anyone wants to 'test' one of these modules for $25 shipped (paypal) send me a PM by the end of this weekend.

The first five payments will be honored, if more then 5 people send payment.

As of now, they haven't been tested to work on the AT trannys, but I have brake boosted with success on my '04 6mt.

 

Oh hell, another KP Tech module to buy!!

Would this be beneficial on a Vortech 6mt?

 

Since S/Cers are RPM based the 'brake boost' would't be beneficial. If you have an at (like you do) then you 'may' be able to 'brake torque' launch, IF you can get traction.

 

so how does the connection of the module work? splicing? connected to? i probably missed it earlier in the thread

 

I see. It sounds like fun.

Maybe Ron would like one of these on his TT Z.

My 6mt coupe is the vortec car though. The 5at sedan is the NA beater.

 

im very intrested. its been so long and no1 has a video of this being done...

 

You have to cut the 'brake' wire going to the ECU. You run the input in to the module, and then the module has an output that hooks to the other side. You then need switched power and ground - I grabbed them at the ECU and mounted the box in the passenger kick panel. You could grab it off the 12power outlet if it is close in the Z (I have a G). There are only four wires on it total.

 

thanks for the info.. if it works great.. i would definatley grab one too

 

Do you have pics of the box installed and exactly which wires were used? I have a 04 G also so it should hook up the same as yours.

Hopefully it will work with a 5AT, money has been sent for a module.

I'll post before and after vids when I get it installed after I get my car back in a week or two.

 

I could take some pictures, but I would highly recomend verifying all wiring with a voltage meter. There are over 100 wires at the ECU, and multiple wires of the same color. The only way to be 100% sure that you have the right wire is to electronically verify it. I'll try to snap some pictures tonight.

 

KPierson-clean your inbox out! Im trying to send you a message...

 

Sorry about that, its clear.

 

Here are a couple pictures of the wire that was cut. The wire in my '04 G35 coupe is pink/blue. Ignore the extra green and blue wires, they are for VVT, not this project.

Here is a quick movie of how the ECU reads the brake switch. Basically, there are two brake switches (1 and 2). 1 is on the left, and is used for Cruise Control and brake lights. 2 is on the right of the screen and is used by the ECU to prevent throttle and braking at the same time. You can see when I push the pedal both of them switch to 'depressed', but about 1 second later the right signal goes back to 'normal'. This movie, admittingly, isn't very impressive and is a somewhat big file, so unless you really want to see how it works I wouldn't waste the time downloading it!

PM sent.

BTW, will this also allow you to do a burnout at the track?

 

It should, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
