You can get the Haltech through Hal @ Injected Performance, as for the other switches and wire, I just put it together from scratch. There's only about $10.00 worth of parts.
There are many diffrent ways of doing the clutch switch, you could add a relay on the existing lower limit switch on the clutch. Just use its signal to control the aux. rev. limiter.
Hope ths answered your question.

If it doesnt build boost its pretty pointless IMO. Just a secondary rev limit for those that feel they need it off the line. Your switch is nicely done though.

When Hal was messing with mine in November I believe it made close to 6 or 7psi at 5000rpms

^that's more like it. Can you get any kind of tires to stick launching at 5k rpm in first gear with 6-7 psi snapping in?

^^^haven't tried yet. My motor is out of the car right now haha.

But I can't imagine any traction what so ever launching already at 6-7 psi on street tires.

Can you set up the Haltech to use the 2-step for a real purpose....to build boost? I want 10 pounds when I leave the line.

Why is everyone so scared to build boost with the 2-step? Yes it hurts the life of the turbo, but its not like its going to kill it the next day. I wish this community wasnt so scared to break ****. Get some decent sidwalled ET streets (or whatever tires you prefer) and let her eat. Supras (just using it as an example) use 2-step all the time on big sticky tires and they cut 1.3-1.4 60s.

On true slicks and DRs it should hook aslong as you have a good sideway. Good sidewall meaning a 28x15. Guess we will find out how the drivetrain likes it.

Supras have much stronger stock axles!!!

A two step that doesn't build boost, Is like going to the strip club... your wasting your time, your money, and your just going to have to do the work yourself after.

Seriously... whats the point... I would only recommend using a 2-step with good tires, and then use it for what it is meant for, to build the boost.

I love what this Haltech will be capable of but till then Fcon is still the choice for me. It controls my meth (you guys need to get this $hit), I have a nice working 2 step that build boost at the line, and will have the flat shift working very soon.

I think Alberto has a video of me launching @5K with Dr's... Not sure thou?

Kev!
Nice work getting this fabbed up! It's better than guessing what rpm your at while your at the line.

Haltech does have a Nitrous/Meth output now, and has a nice working two-step Setting it at 3000rpm on a twin 60-1 kit isn't going to build a lot, but as DJ Smitty posted above, his car makes 6-7psi on it almost instantly with the Greddy twins. The reality, most people aren't needing the extra spool at the line due to current traction limitations.

For Kevin, my advice is start low and turn it up at the track each launch until it is perfected.

Trust me, having personally pulled multiple 1.3 60's in a 350z, I love the hard launch! But no sense abusing things just to induce more wheel spin. And speaking of wheel spin, we have something in the works for that as well

What is flat shift? I was leaning more towards the Haltech for the cam timing control, it has basicly all the features of the fcon, and its cheaper.
