The real question is, is there a desire for this?
I started going down the road to get a controller made for water injection, then it occured to me: why buy a whole system each time you want to add some kind of performance device, say WI, lift pump, nitrous, propane...
Why not just one controller that would do ALL of them if you wanted...all individually controlled based on 4 or 5 engine sensor inputs: ECT, MAP, EGT, TPS, IAT etc.
----Want fast spoolup? Pre-compressor water mist or nitrous on at 2 psi (and only above 32 F IAT), then shut off at 20 psi ...goodbye turbo lag.
----Want modulated N2O at TPS greater than 95% and modulated with MAF greater than 30 lb/min? again, programmed and automatic.
----Need the lift pump on only when TPS exceeds 80%?
----Want to be sure that the nitrous is killed if EGT exceeds 1700 F or MAF drops below 50 lb/min...automatic, again by virtue of user friendly programming.
----Want to be sure post-CAC water is injected if EGT exceeds 1400F, AND MAF exceeds 30 lb/min?
----Want a fan to come on if ECT exceeds 230 and MAP exceeds ...ad infinitum.
A basic setup would include controller, relays, solenoids, wiring, for one operation, and then additional (affordable) modules could be purchased to expand. Start with water, then add...whatever you want to actuate with defined conditons from the above engine parameters. Could even make the horn sound at threshhold EGT, or kill the lift pump above certain known danger zones.
Any thoughts on this?
