FricFrac Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It's been a long time since I've played with the programable micro controllers so I've been looking for a project to get started back up. While I was rebuilding my triple Mikuni's for the 240Z an idea started. I have a MAP sensor in my Mega Squirt 3 ECU for the 280ZXT. I got six of those sensors hooked them up to an Arduino development board and an LCD display. A little programing and voila! a six port digital manometer to balance out the carbs! It's set up right now to measure kPa. I've tweeked it a bit to calibrate the sensors so they are within a single increment of each other instead of about four.

bjhines Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 WOW!!!!! absolutely fantastic!!!! Post your development notes if you care to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazerRackham Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT DOES. BUT IT LOOKS REALLY FRICKIN' SWEET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofouroh Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It measures six pressures really accurately. You can use it to synchronize six individual carbs or throttle bodies on a Z motor. Nice project, I'm just about ready to get my next dev board too - a FreeScale Kinetis K70. They have a cool setup of modules to go with it too.

letitsnow Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Cool, I've considered setting my arduino up as an SD datalogger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sweet.....this is also a great way to see if you have too much air bypassing through worn throttle shafts on the SU carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
