Where can I get a "hobbs switch"?

[Anonymous]

I have got just about everything to do the turbo setup on my car. I still don't have a hobbs switch. I am having a hard time finding one around here. I was wandering if anybody knew where to get one? I am ready to boost this sucker!

Go to www.summitracing.com and type "hobbs" into the keyword search box (without the quote marks, of course). There are 2 to choose from, a 5 psi and a 30 psi version.

Someone said they got one at NAPA.

If they dont know what a Hobbs switch is ask them for a pressure activated switch.

Thanks guys. I will check in to both of thoes. I was kind of wanting an adjustable one but they are a little too hard to find!

Fordman is there any way you can come up with a BK part # for the Hobbs switch. I just got off the phone with NAPA and they are going to do some checking for me but I am not sure if they will have a lot of luck with it. Thanks for the help Fordman!

Well, I am going to use a nitrous noid and a dry nozzle to add the extra fuel. I will probably need to open the noid at around 4 or 5 psi of boost. I don't plan to run over 10 psi for a good while so that 15 psi you are talking about would be way to much.

COOL! I just got off the phone with NAPA and the 701 1603 is a 2psi switch like you said. They have a 4psi switch in stock so I think I will try that. Thanks for the help man I could not have done it without you. He could not find it untill I gave him that part # you gave me. Thanks again.

Yea, about all I lack is to get my turbo in good shape with a new center section and I guess I will have just about everything I will need other than a few bolts and gaskets. A few more parts got in today from Jegs but they backordered my fan and boost gauge but that should be in within two weeks.

I am just about ready to just start tearing into it! My friend is going to take off a week and a half and will be installing twin T-3s on his '90 Lincoln Mark XII. I thing he also has just about everything to do his car also. We will both have our cars at my shop at the same time so it will be good to have two of us working on the turbo stuff. He is very smart with this kind of stuff so I feel better about having him around so I don't screw anything up!
