Scramble Boost Button!

[devil_child]

or just do like me and rarely use it. my spike on my AVC for scramble is only like 5 psi. it raises my AFRs to a solid 13 so meh.

yah well im gonna state the obvious now (like i really need to say that)but it all depends on what you have, and how you tune it. On one hand that makes this somthing really amazing for reasons i stated above. an extra 5psi for like 5-10secs shouldnt kill you, and if you need the speed, why not?Now I just gotta decide 300zx tt or 240sx with 300zx swap, if i could find a way to do it... but that would be.... wow.....

One of those option videos had a skyline with a scramble boost button. It still lost to the rx-7 in the touge though. Depending on the cost of the setup its most likely not worth bothering over

I saw that battle awhile back, pretty cool video. That GTR seemed too big for the road lol

Why do they call these battles? In fact why do they call rap battles "battles" It's not like you're fighting the guy. I think its to make it sound more dramatic then it really is. And thats lame.

The 997 also has the VTNSo not only raises boost, I think that also changes the turbo geometry via the VTN.

At first, I was thinking of the "turbo boost"button that KITT has or even the "turbine boost" from Airwolf.......

The top gear video is cool as hell. "from 40 to 60 in.......1 SECOND!!"

Scramble boost sounds like a super-tyte way to refer to HIGH and LOW boost settings. Many EBCs have them.

I run an EBC that allows me to, with just a few button pushes, adjust boost anywhere between 8 psi and 23 psi using .02 bar increments.

It works like any other boost controller. I run between 8 psi and 14 psi when I drive. I have a standalone tuned for 14psi. Thankfully, the maps have high enough resolution as to allow for the increased load under 14psi, but that's all there is to it. It's not magical.

I believe the AVC-R has a scramble function. Only use I saw for it was on the drag strip when you get into 3rd or 4th and needed the extra kick.

What if you could rig up a quick disconnect for your vaccuum line running to your wastegate. Run the line into the cabin and quick disconnect it when you need extra boost, then quick connect when you don't need it again. hahahha that was dumb, what was I thinking...

greddy makes one go to their site! the r.s.s.

A highschool friend of mine had his setup in his dodge SRT-4 and although I hated his Blue turbo skittle-mobile the one time he used scramble boost at the SRT nationals and I have to admit although I have no use or intent for such a thing it was sure some fun for the 4 seconds it was on.

the top gear video IS cool! That car really IS enzo fast. I will put my balls on the line for a mere .2-.4 sec difference in 0-60, and for a lot cheaper, and kinda looks better, and is deffinatly more practicle.0-100 jeez... it is better than any rollercoaster EVER. supposedly faster than batman (or mighta been superman) in a straight line. oh geeze that got me hooked on cars soooooo badly. My ultimate goal is to beat the **** outa a 997 turbo

No. The overdrive button enables the 4th gear in an automatic transmission. The 4th, or "overdrive", gear is there to allow for lower rpm at highway speed, thereby raising fuel economy. The overboost is most similar to the "push-to-pass" feature of F1 cars.

Well the overdrive doesnt make you go faster period.The overboost is not like the push to pass F1 thing, on speed they described it as an INSTANTANIOUS 50-100hp. And they hinted it was amazing technology could fit that much hp in a button to a bottle.Yes it does do similar things but unless the turbo is rediculously good at response it doesnt really be on par (push to pass instant full power, turbo spool, max power in power band).

I had my AVC-D scramble wired to a driving light button on the gauge shroud within reach of my right middle finger. Tap it and 10 seconds of cranked up boost. It came in handy a few times.These days, the things I am working on should be much faster than what I was doing then so I am not going to be using a boost controller.

sounds like i need one lol good idea.. is it feasibly cheap?
