Real quick hobbs switch question
Real quick hobbs switch question I have searched but couldnt find the answer i was looking for so i just thought someone could answer this for me real quick. What exactly does a hobbs switch do? From what ive read sounds like when running 2 fuel pumps, as soon as you roll into the throttle the switch (at the psi you have it set at) will kick the other pump on? Now i have a fuel pressure safety switch, is this the same thing? Damn i feel like a newbie asking questions like this.
thanks

A fuel safety switch does see boost(fuel pressure). Both a hobbs switch and fuel pressure safety switch work the same way. They come either normally open or normally closed. When they reach the set amount of pressure they switch and do the opposite.
Ok that makes more sense. So lets say for example i set my switch to 1psi, this will kick the other pump on as soon as it see's that amount of boost? I read somewere about a different kind of switch that allowed use for boost controller, and some other goodies? Does it matter where on the charge pipe its mounted at, pics would be nice also.
