Cruise control solution

[GVR-4]

I just thought I would share that today I took a drive on the highway and used the cruise control. Normally the engine cycles between no boost and up to ~10 pounds here in the mountains trying to maintain the speed I set it at. I decided to try switching to low boost on my Greddy Profec B, which is set as low as it will go at ~10 pounds (high is at ~22 psi). This did the trick and the cycling between no boost and boost stopped and the car maintained the set speed much better. I just thought some of you guys could benefit from this too. It's been a slight annoyance everytime I use the cruise control, but I think this will solve the problem. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just did the same thing for a trip to CO on Tuesday.
Set boost at 10psi, only cycled about 3-4mph on the bigger hills and less on the flats.
Best control I've had on the car so far....

just slacken the cables up from the cruise puller thingy into the cruise gearboxy thingy. it will soften the amount of throttle it gives on each acceleration.
thats why there is adjustments on all those things.

 

im going to try adjusting the cables. that surging has turned me off to using cruise /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Cruise is wack anyways, take it out and all problems solved. Nice trick though.

Trying to maintain a steady speed for 250 is wack. I'll do my best to keep the cruise.
