Is there any electronic gurus on her who could design me a circuit that i could make with parts from maplin.

basically i want to be able to switch a 12volt source on when a thermister reaches a set temperature i would also like to be able to adjust the temperature the 12 volts source is switched at.

If anyone could help me with this i would be very greatfull

im no expert.. but i could work from a schematic easy so ill have a butchers for you..

i think the main components really would just be a transistor working off the thermocouple...

a pot to adjust the range..

and a relay..

ill see what i can find mate

scroll down mate its on there somewere.. simple thermostat switch for auto applications..

will come in handy for me too

what you switching man?

[paradox]

Im going to make an intercooler water spray that will automatically switch on when act reaches a preset level

[JayC]

cool.. you should use a seperate ACT tho dont take a feed from the same ACT as the ecu uses.. you might mess the signal, but theres plently of places to stick one.

[paradox]

yeah i will do dont worry i also will be installing an act gauge so i can keep an eye on whats happening

[JayC]

cool.. show us what you come up with mate.

[FezzR]

i can see you emptying a lot of water very quickly

[paradox]

Im hoping once its set right it wont as it should only activate when acts get very high

[FezzR]

trouble is the times when your act.s get really high will be the times when it takes a lot of cooling down, worth a go just dont get your hopes up

[~Tony~]

yeah wouldn't it be better putting it on when the acts are midrange so its less likely to superheat and need major cooling down

[paradox]

i suppose its just going to be a case of trial an error once ive made and fitted it as to what temperature to activate it at.

My cars till a bare shell at the moment so its a long way of little thigs like that but when i do come to do it i may make a little guide so others can try it out.


I know mistubishi evos have an intercooler spray does anyone know what act they operate at?

[FezzR]

what ever temp you set it at, put a timer on it so it doesnt spray constantly

The Evo IC spray isn't automatic, you have to press and hold a button to activate it when needed

ahh i see well if thats the way the evo boys have done it i may set mine that way but maybe have it timed so when you press the button it sprays for 20 seconds
