Default How do I lockup my converter for dyno testing???

I want to lockup my Fuddle converter when I go to the dyno so I can see if my nitrous is just blowing through the converter. Can anyone tell me how to do this without any tuning software? THANKS

dennis? You have done a search on here and you have to wire up a toggle switch to the tcc solenoid and such. ill see if i can link you to it.

Off the top I would say you want a DPDT switch like:

side 1 - common to TCC solenoid on trans, NC to the
PCM TCC solenoid drive, NO to ground

side 2 - common to TCC PWM on trans, NC to the PCM
TCC PWM drive, NO to IGN +12V source

Then normally-closed (NC) will be normal operation and
the other (normally-open, NO) will be hard-locked with
full TCC duty (100%).

You might substitute a DPDT relay and drive the coil with
a cuter, pushbutton switch etc. and maybe add a LED
indicator just so you don't get hung up; if you are into
relay logic you could make it latching and unlatch with
the brake light etc. too.

You better make sure your converter can handle the WOT lockup also. No all converters are designed to handle the abuse.
