any way of putting the power hold button on a uk zed also i have my auto out of the car now anything i should do im changing the crank seal was thinking of a lightened fly wheel :duffer:

Matey you havent got a fly wheel. Its an Auto buddy!!

is the power/hold button on jap import autos only? :confused: i didnt know that.

when you say you have the auto out of the car, are you going for a conversion? like Jonce said...

Yer buddy, only the japs av hold power button. If you get a boost controler etc... you will never need this button again :hyper: :nana2:

i think ive read on here some time ago that you can fit the switch onto a uk model, not entirely sure though, if not then just put a jap autobox ecu on, the gearbox is the same

You need the loom switch and auto ecu from a jap spec car, the wiring diagram in the workshop manual shows alternative wiring, I am sure a loom from a breaker could be grafted in, the boxes are the same electrically internally, the hold/ power switch is just an extra control done at ecu level.

i will put a boost controller on but why wouldnt need to use the power button

lol we all know that now!! ;)

You haven't got time to :D What i mean is that the Power button only lets the box rev higher before the gear changes. If you put your foot down fast (boot it!!) it has the same effect and the car will automaticly switch to power. It will put the light on; on the dash. Plus if you have it boosted you will soon forget about the button. :hyper:

i havent got a boost controller but when i bootit my power lights comes on by its self, sould this happen or not :confused:

yes matey thats normal. Thats what i was trying to explain. There is no real need for the button becuse when you boot it it will automaticaly switch to power :hyper:

the only useful thing about the switch is that you can put it on HOLD when road conditions are bad, or when youre nearly out of fuel.

my power light doesnt come on when i boot it, dont know if its because i dont have a power switch any ideas

I'm not sure about that argument. The hold button on an automatic stops the gearbox from using first gear to allow for really gentle acceleration in icy conditions. Equivalent to pulling-off in second in a manual.

 

The power button makes very little differnce on light throttle, and like you say, on full throttle it comes on in anycase. I notice the difference when using about half throttle where it causes the revs to run much higher before shifting in the next gear.

 

For example, with the power switch off, and accelerating from a standstill using about half throttle the gearbox will change up at about 4000 rpm. With the power switch on it will hold onto the gear until about 5500 rpm for the same amount of throttle.

 

Sometimes you want to be able to use higher engine speeds without having to floor the throttle - this is what it's useful for.
