okay well i was takeing the panels out of my iroc today and found this under the dash drivers side. i was just wondering what it did?

 

Aftermarket, def. not stock.

 

thats what i was thinking also i fliped it a couple times but the car wasnt runing lol and im not sure where it was before i fliped it. im about to leave and im going to play with it a little bit and see if i notice anything.

 

okay so when when i flip the swtich forward. im geting alot more power from somewhere. im not sure yet where though. also my rpm's are higher. someone tonight told me it could open my injectors but that wouldnt set my rpm's up would it?

 

Nah, it's not the injectors. They're either open or closed, and the computer controls that.

It's possible it could be some sort of dual prom selector. Kinda like a valet mode and a "normal" mode. ....but technically, since it's custom, ANYTHING is possible. Where do the wires go???

....Ironically however, I too have a toggle switch in the same spot, but of course I installed it and I know what it does. I have it wired to the brake switch so my torque converter won't lock up for around town driving. When off (or on, depending how you look at it) the TC doesn't lock, and I get a good 200 RPMs higher due to no lock up.

 

well i followed the wire threw the firewall but it comes out in a bundle of wires and it not easy to get to. but i get about a 5 to 6 hundred rpm increase.

 

try jumping like 5 cars , flip the switch right before you do it . if you make it , it is turbo boost , if you dont it is something else but probably wont matter at that point .

 

try not talking ever agian

 

The most common things to control by a switch in theese cars are
- FAN
- TCC

and since your rpm is changing I guess its a tcc switch, try to ground the "F" on your ALDL to see if you get the same effect.

 

thanks for the help i am going to look into it

 

try getting a sense of humor .
then try calling the car KIT , if it answers then it is turbo boost .

after that try finding where the wires go ?????
if your not willing to do that you never ever ever ever know .
you say you cant get to them ? then how did somebody hook them up ?

 

well i never said i couldnt get to them i said they where hard to get to. and

 

probably a remote wire switch for an amp iv seen a lot of people do that

 

the only real thing you can do is chas the wire down im curious about this now

 

well im trying to im going to change myoil monday so once i get it up im goin to search around a bit and see what i can find

 

ever get this figured out? ive been curious about it

 

This is a complete guess but could it change fuel pressure or change the timing?

I got 5 bucks says it's a switch to turn on the AC compressor. It's actually the "off" position causing the increase in power.

Indy86iroc, try taking a look at the compressor and switching positions of the toggle switch, and see if the compressor turns on or off. Car running of course

 

The technology IS certainly out there for that option, but highly unlikely. If it was a custom built show car, or a high end car, maybe, but not likely on a thirdgen.

Why make a switch? Just turn of the AC, right? -Either way, the OP says he's getting "alot" more power with the switch on (or off). The AC compressor wouldn't do that much. You "might" feel a difference in the seat of your pants when the air is on/off although I doubt it, but either way, not enough to call "alot" and it still doesn't account for the higher RPMs.

....I'm still really curious myself, but my money is still on the Torque converter lock up!

 

I have a switch in that same spot that controls one of my fans. Like others have said track it down and find out where the wire goes. Does your car have some sort of aftermarket coil or spark system?

Let us know.

 

i still think its TURBO BOOST !
