Hey everyone, my friend is looking at going Twin Turbo and just received pricing from a shop. I told him about how he'd have to drive with VDC off to avoid fuel cut under boost, and he wanted to know if there was a way to disable it so he didn't have to push the button every time.

I told him about the little box you can by and that remembers to keep it off when you turn the car off and on, but the shop he is going to said they have a way to interface with the ecu and can disable it through that. Is this even possible? The reason for my skepticism is that the shop is quoting a crazy low price for a ton of work, and i just don't think they know what they are doing. Any thoughts?

 

please search. it took you longer to type out that post that doesnt even belong in FI to begin with than it would to hit the search button.

kptechnologies sell this module.

/thread

 

once again another ******* just anwser him who cares he didnt search big deal get over it ......

 

 

Getting gOOD LOL..

 

IBTL

 

Chris can you pass me some popcorn?

 

I know all about the KP Tech module that you wire in to keep the VDC off, thats why I said in my original post that I know about the little box that you wire in and it turns it off (i couldn't remember the name)

But if you had taken the time to read the whole thread you would have seen that the question is not about that. The question is..."is there a system that you can plug into the OBDII and turn on/off the vdc" This is what I don't believe exists, or else everyone would do it when going FI.

So Str8dum1 why don't you try not being an idiot for once? And you may "Haz" boost, but you drive a slow f'ing car.

 

got my drink, now I need some popcorn!!!

 

popcorn for all!

 

I'm glad you guys got the popcorn out.

So 1% of the time it is an issue, so therefore I told him right.

I had a turbocharged G35, and everytime the wheels slipped with vdc on i would loose power (obviously) and when under heavy boost this can be a problem, I don't understand why you would debate that.

I have also read many threads regarding VDC, because I was considering purchasing the KP module for my car. I decided against it. I also know that there are a few other ways around it. Maybe I did not phrase my question appropriately, but now i'll dumb it down a little and maybe you can get your head around it.

Has anyone heard of a unit that you can hook up to your g35/350z (stock ecu, with or without a piggyback system, but not a stand alone), disable VDC, and then remove the unit without undoing the VDC disable? The KP module has to stay connected in order to do this.

The reason for the question is not to find a different way to do it, but to see if the shop really knows what they are talking about. If no one on here has done this before, then the shop doesn't know what they are talking about and he should take it to a well known shop.

This is a pretty straight forward question, and after many searches I have not found the answer. The funny thing though, is the number of stupid responses that cloudy up the search function such as rcdash and str8dum1's previous comments. Who knows, maybe someday someone will be searching for this same topic, will find this thread, and will then have to read through their stupid responses. Way to keep a clean forum.

 

I think im full.

 

Not because of engine damage. Only because it slows you down.


NO. If there was then people wouldn't have spend hours researching this and cutting into the sensors. If you looked at the thread about brake boost that someone suggested then you would see all the work people have put into it and the only solutions out there for it.

 

I thought this was debated in the brake boost thread. I know we have 2 of them. I also know I've seen a few disabling VDC threads on here too.

 

Ok, so then it is confirmed that this doesn't exist, which is what I thought and why I questioned it. was it that hard just to say no, there has been nothing new since the last brake boost thread?

Thanks Binder.

and Asingh1, you need VDC to drive your car in the rain? I feel bad for you.

 

Is there a device? No. Is there a way to cut one wire and disable VDC permanently? Yes.

 

welcome

he's right. You could wire up a toggle switch (some ppl have) so you can turn it back on if you like.

 

man just save ur money and time and push the button. it take maybe 3-4 sec dip on ur weight and what not. if all u think about is blowin the car up, im sher u will remember to turn off vdc. come on now!?!?!! close thread

 

VDC does the equivalent of lifting your foot off the gas pedal. IT DOES NOT CUT FUEL.

There is no harm to be done other than your hurt ego when you forget to turn it off in a race. Driving around with it off 100% disabled/killed is retarded and I hope nobody other than yourself gets injured next time it rains.

 

For those interested in the KPtechnologies module you can find it here:

It is the SM20 and it's only $39. It is important to note that the KPtech unit is NOT an auto off module - it is a memory module. The module keeps VDC off until YOU turn it back on, then it leaves it on until it is shut off. In essence it turns the momentary pushbutton in to a toggle switch.

The "new" version of the module (that is shipping now) also has an AUX output that can be used to disable the yaw sensor (faults out the entire system). This AUX function is enabled by holding the VDC button down for ~5 seconds. The AUX output is NOT a memory output so you have to purposefully enable the AUX output whenever you need total control of the car.

The KPtechnologies SM20 module seamlessly integrates safety with convenience and does it for under $40!

/shameless plug!

If anyone has any questions about the module let me know - it's a quick 3 wire installation!
