Ok gentlemen, let us find out how much you have learned. I just got one of these old SMC Enterprises injection kits with the round 2qt reservoir and in-tank pump. The reservoir and pump are trash but everything else seems in good working order. I got a controller, a braided hose, an injector, a fluid level sensor and little knowledge about how this should work. All for free .
I know I can make this work in my buick if I go with Coolingmist's pump($89) and maybe their boost selenoid($25) while using the windshield washer fluid reservoir in my car. My questions are as follows:
1. the "spray-on point" knob activates the pump on a preset vacuum/boost point? I took it all the way out and all it is is a screw which regulates the air flow inside. How do I know when I hit 9psi for example?
2. The vacuum hose going to the controller reads the vacuum/boost off the intake?
3. "Pump Speed" knob is a potentiometer(voltage regulator) to control pump speed?
Any input is appreciated. see it in this Syclone...>>>
There should be links here for the instructions for that kit by using the search feature.
I test the setpoint by powering up the unit (power and ground) SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST for the right terminals.
After that I put a voltmeter on the output and well regulated shop air into the hose attached to the unit, when I adjust the turn on knob after putting the 9psi. into the hose I wait for a voltage reading on the output terminals to be +12 with the unit on max. output or 10.
Simple. :smile:
Find the instruction link if you don't know which terminals are which.
I connect the hose when in use to a T off my boost gauge, which reads off the hose block on the top of the intake where the other vacuum/boost hoses are. You can use the fuel pressure regulator to install a T as well, or the MAP sensor over on the pass. side fender area to get a boost referenced signal.
Secure all hoses with cable ties.
Answer to 3 is yes it varies the voltage to the pump.
