Has any body hooked up a Vallet Switch ?

 

I have before but I haven't put mine on yet.

I'm working on a way to make it varible.
I think I've got it figured out just haven't tested it yet.

It's getting busy time on the farm and haven't had much time.

I was wondering if you install the solenoid to cut off air to both the afc and wastegate or just the afc?

 

I'll bet you can, but WHY?

When you want the air to go to the pump, it would also go to the wastegate. You would want the wastegate to stay closed when the pump is getting full fuel.

The vallet switch is used to block of the afc so the engine does not get full fuel,You do this when engine is hot rodded so when some one else drives your truck they don't blow the engine up!

 

I know that, I've got one.

What I meant was why would you want to cut the air to the wastegate AT THE SAME TIME as cutting the air to the pump? This, on my truck, would have no effect, as I have the wastegate set to open above 35psi, and in Valet mode All I can get at WOT at 85+ is 25psi.

With the Valet switch on, i'm getting 42psi @ 5200' elevation, 46psi @ 150' elevation. With it off, 12 or 14psi.

It'll be an interesting test with the Piersified 40 ... probably will get more than 12 or 14psi. More umph if so.

 

My wastegate is feed from the pump, I was wondering if I should plumb it to cut off the afc only or if I should just plumb it with the the solenoid before the pump, so both afc and waste gate are both cut out? I have never seen one hooked up, Wondering how there plumped in?

 

You need more fuel Forrest!!!!

I can get 67psi/495rwhp with valet on and oh, a little more with it off.

 

Yea, but your packin dual monicas.

 

Are you guys with valet switches running with them on at highway speeds to get better fuel economy or is the switch only for other drivers to keep them from rodding your trucks?
Or do you not even get enough power to run at highway speeds with the air shut off to the afc?

Hwy speeds are no problem. Even over the Sierra Nevada range, 7200' summit, no problem.

Lots less smoke & better mpg. I re-figured the mpg, forgot to add in some miles I drove before resetting the trip meter. It was only .4mpg less with the switch on.

I can't wait to try the Piersified 40 with the Valet switch.

 

With no boost going to the AFC and the right setup your truck will still rock and can take 99% of vechicles on the road. We have made over 500rwhp and 1100ftlbs with the vallet on. What it does is it cuts a little over half your fuel flow in CC's so you can run around everyday with out blowing smoke when you don't want too.
