2-step

[Swifty1638]

Well, after discovering that my vehicle speed sensor isn't working for the AEM, I decided I'd pull a shep, and run the 2-step off my left horn button. The issue I have is that when turning the wheel, the wires would become quite entangled up in the steering column, and I'm afraid they will break the spring on the back that makes contact with a metal ring for the horn. So, anyone have suggestions on how else to make this work? it's a momentary switch, so when at the line, you hold it down (other end goes to the aem-pin 5/14) and allows it to rev at the determined rpms. Then, launch button is let go, and return to normal rev limiter. I wish to keep my right hand free for shifting, and more-so e-braking/pre-loading the rear end off the line. This leaves the left hand to hold the wheel, meaning it's kinda gotta go off the steering wheel. How do those sparco steering wheels, with the 4 buttons work? I cannot figure out how i'll do this without the wires all getting tangled up in shit. Thanks.

Sounds to me like it would be easier to make your vehicle speed sensor work again? Is that through the ABS sensor btw or how does that work?

I read something on this a long long time ago. I believe the speed sensor is in the dash unit. I think the main purpose was to work with the ABS. Also, it senses the vehicles movement, so when you put the clutch in while cruising you'll notice your idle is higher, then what it would be at a complete stop. This is to help create more vacuum for your brake booster.

I would get a piece of coiled wire, like a telephone cord that goes between the base and the receiver, wire that between whatever and the button and wrap it around the steering column a few times.

I don't know where the sensor or anything like that is. I was also not the one to pull the abs. I know the ABS sensor rings on the front brakes are gone, and cut out.

Where can I get this coil wire? It would work, if only that spring wasn't there for the horn to be given power through. I might just end up finding where that wire goes, and using the horn instead for hte 2-step, and never have a horn again..or else, wire that up somewhere else. How do those 4-button steering wheels work?

Wire it up to the top of you shifter.

[Swifty1638]

Can't. the right hand is holding the ebrake, left hand on the wheel when I launch. I'd really like it to be a button on the steering wheel.

How do you have time to get from the ebrake to the shifter to hit 2nd gear before revlimiter? You might want to do a line lock and have both the line lock and 2-step activated off the same button on the steering wheel.

[Swifty1638]

Well, I figure the two are there and you gotta bounce off teh rev-limiter a few times anyway so it doesn't bog into the next gear. I've seen others do it successfully. I really don't want to mess with installing a line lock setup.

Wire it off the clutch pedal switch, then when the cluch is pressed you have the 2step engaged.
