Go Baby! GO!

So, I was watching the 2nd National Treasure movie, and just loved the sound that Ben's parter, the one who got the viper, i think?

Reguardless the sound it made once he pushed the button made me want one soo bad


Sooo I was going to make a project outta it, todo on the suburban before buying my new car. I can mess this up and not have a loss really


So using some basic tools and a wiring schematic of my suburbans wiring harness i'll be using a Engine Start button, originally from the S2000



Has anybody done this before? If so or if not so, can you think of anything I should look out for

*I'll be using a Boush 5-pin SPDT Relay and probably use the 12volt constand and ground from an existing cig lighter (which i'll cut out)

I've seen a few of these done but havn't gotten to doing it myself, came close though lol but some write ups i found very useful:

I had the button for a couple months, never got around to installing it and then I lost interest in having it so I ended up selling it. Good luck with it.

thanks for the link viper

one of the comments raised my next question

how could i relay this setup, so that i don't need any extra switch to make sure pressing the "engine start" button wont grind my starter while my car is running?

[JSewell]

alright, if anybody was watching this thread i think i've found a solution to grinding the starter while the car is still on. i believe using a SPDT relay instead of SPST will prevent this from happening

I believe that there are some push-button starter kits around the net...

[JSewell]

yeh, ive been looken. i'll deff be doing it in some kinda way with the new car

[daytona]

what year is the vehicle? what ind of factory anti theft is on it? if it has a passkey system, chances are very low for a pushbutton start working

[JSewell]

it'll either go onto an 02 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab short bed

or an 96 Mustang GT coupe hardtop

not the suburban, this is strictly for the new car coming in. I heard of some cars having a VAT's system that may produce some kinds of problems and the locking cylinder probably

[miraclegro]

usea relay so that when the car starts a 12v ignition source turns it on and causes it to open the NC contact set thereby disabling your push switch. or just punch your dipshit friends hard in the lips every time they go "oooooooo a button! GRRRRRINSDDDDD"

or stuff it in gear with the car off but the steering unlocked and hold the button down and cruise around on eco=friendly electric power!

*nod* that's how it's done, funny, my friend and I were wondering the other day how long the starter on his Miata would last doing that

[JSewell]

ha, or get a diesel car

reguardless, does anybody know anything about a VATs system getting in the way?

[miraclegro]

As long as its not a vat of F.E.V and you dont live in a vault you should be fine.

[JSewell]

I'll be sure to do it once I raise the final grand for the truck
