I got bored today at school and started to draw up an Alchohal injection system that is as safe as possible for the engine. Here is what I came up with, and some sources of parts that I could come up with my limited knowledge. Any othe ideas for sources of parts or comments on any mistakes I may have made or better ideas are apprecitated.
1-"Arm System" switch....alows pump time to build pressure.
2-"Low Pressure" switch....wont allow power to flow through if pressure is no up to par. Protects engine from boosting at high levels if there is no alky injection due to a bad pump or low fluid.....POSSIBLE SOURCE....ford A/C pressure switch, it has an adjustment screw from about 15-35 lbs. It has a power in and out, and doesnt let power out if pressure is to low topretect the compressor.
3-"System Armed" light...allows driver to know whether or not his alky injection is up to pressure and ready for use. plus it looks cool right?
4-"Go Baby Go" Turns on the alky injection system so it can spray "at will" as well as turns the Boost control Solenoid to high boost.
5-"Boost Control Solenoid" Needs to be a one in two out switch, not your avg. ON/OFF vacuum solenoid...source...cheap source unknown...
6-"Pressure switch" This is a switch that will be set at a certain PSI..say 15 lbs. When the boost hits 15 lbs, it will send power to the on/off solenoid (#8) to spary the alky inj.... SOURCE...I've heard some talk of the Over boost buzzer, but I dont know if it is adjustable or exactly how the wiring ect. of it works. A switch like this is easy to come by however.
7-"System spraying" light...lets the driver know exactly when the alky inj is sparying, which seems like a handy tool for tuning for such things as max. boost and what pressure to start spraying at.
8-"On/Off Solenoid" Simply starts and stops the flow of alky to the spary nozzle...Source... McMaster-Carr...
Any thing else I forgot...or imput??
