Safe enough or not meth/h20

I'm thinking about installing my coolingmist with just wideband, status monitor and clog detector for safety. A 1-25 psi boost pressure switch for activation. What do you guys think?

Hi.

It depends on how aggressive your tune is. If you are just running the system as a safety margin and have not tuned your vehicle there will be no issue with this. If on the other hand you have an aggressive tune you may want to consider our failsafe. One of the nice advantages of our failsafe is the level of configurability is unmatched by any other currently on the market.

For example, you can connect your MAF sensor to the frequency input pin on the Failsafe and use the smart controller to turn your system in based on MAF instead of boost. Yuo can also do RPM and even integrate your boost switch into the activation.

With your current status monitor you can detect when the system is out of fluid, hardware problem, pump failure or even a clog. how does it detect a clog? simple, if you are not in activation and you have pressure after your solenoid the system is clogged. you can then make the smart controller disable your boost controller or whatever you need to do.

We also have flow sensors that can be integrated, however the status monitor does a great job when coupled with the failsafe.

This would be an example of the smart controller integration.

Flow sensor option:


status monitor option:

Here is an update to how you would integrate with the checkvalve instead of solenoid.

I don't personally think you need a clog detector and a status monitor. People tend to go overboard with safety when using meth injection. I spray a 500cc nozzle of meth in my neon, no safety feature at all. People get worried that the meth will suddenly stop spraying, but that doesn't really happen if you keep the jug full. I can watch it go down about 2" in my tank every pass I make at the track, and then I simply top it off, and keep going.

Meth is awesome Meth and nitrous is REALLY awesome

I set your controller up, you can easily make changes with the free configuration utility if you want/need to fine tune. You will use the smart controller as both a failsafe and your injection controller. I made this very easy for you to inject based on MAF, Boost, MAP (if you have a map sensor) or RPM. You can run any singe of these inputs or any combination of them. Wire it up as you see the diagram.



INJECTION:

You can inject based on MAF, boost, map or RPM.
Your RPM and MAF can be acquired at the ECU. If you want to inject based on boost connect the COM port of the boost switch to your 12V source and connect the NO pot to the pin 11. If you wish to use MAP connect your MAP sensor to pin 11.

You can inject using a combination of inputs as well. For example if you want to inject based on RPM, boost or MAF connect all 3 wires. Settings are as follows (you can adjust them using the free software).

MAF > 1200
RPM > 3500
Boost switch (what ever your setting is)
MAP > 3 volts

FAILSAFE:

If you have a low level sensor connect one wire to pin #12 and the other to any 12V source.
Connect the status monitor as shown in the diagram. COM goes to the smart controller 5V source and the NO goes to the pin 12.

Output #2 (Pin #5) will always be on unless there is a problem in which it will turn off
Output #3 (Pin #6) will turn on when there is a problem and off when things are running proper (opposite of output #2)
Output #4 and #5 are not used. You can configure them to activate some other device if you wish.
