New to DIY EFI list...

[John Bertram]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the DIY EFI list and would like to introduce myself.

I am a technician at a Saab dealer, and my current project car is a 1987
Volvo 740 turbo.  I recently installed a Saab electronic boost pressure
control sytem on my car.  This system controls the boost pressure by means
of a knock sensor, a pressure transducer and engine RPM.  The stock boost
pressure on the Volvo is about 10 psi, and with the Saab system installed
I'm safely getting about 14 psi depending on ambient conditions.  

You can checkout my project at: http://www.teleport.com/~bertram/volvoapc

I am also interested in getting more fuel at higher boost levels since the
LH fuel injection system runs out at about 14 psi which is what's keeping
me from getting more boost pressure at this time.  I have been toying with
the idea of a rising rate fuel pressure regulator but this doesn't seem
very precise.

Aside from the fuel injection, I am trying to find more information on
building a water injection system that is a little more precise than a
windshield washer pump and a spray nozzle.  If anyone has come up with a
good system, I would like to hear about it.
