Ardunio power Water-Methanol injection controller

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

looking to build my own water-methanol injection controller for my car. At 7lbs of boost I want to mist the mixture all the way up to full spray at 22lbs boost. my pump is 12 volts and up to 15 amps at full power. I found out how to do a scaling input to a scaling output. i don't know what arduino board to use. i assume i need to have a variable motor controller or an H bridge of somesort. Any suggestions? i also want the system active only when the outside temperature is 80°F or above. Need an ouput for a LED or display to show me how active the system is pumping.

    I'm not sure if you'd need something as complicated as a motor driver or h-bridge as the pump might just need a unidirectional DC signal, meaning you could just use a single high side or low side FET to control it.  You should look how the pump is being controlled currently.  Also, how are you going to get the boost lb information into your Arduino?

    I have a tube run into current dead controller that came with my AEM 30 3002 kit. I was looking at a pressure sensor to hook to boost tube from intake to send signal to Arduino for boost reference. I am new to Arduinos but I want to learn.The pump is 12 volts as you supply increasing voltage it pumps faster and faster.
