[Diy_efi] 555 timer for injector driver

[K DANIEL]

Hi
The relay is not suitable to operate the injector because it can't handle the high speed pulses  of the injectors.and even if it is a high speed relay mechanicaly it will not last for long time operation ..Best regards

Mark,

I get the drift that most engines are not precisely timing the moment that an injector is open.  What they are trying to get right is the duty cycle - is it open 40% of the time or 45%?

If the relay takes an equal length of time to open or close the circuit, its delay would be irrelevant.  If it is faster for one or the other, that will bias the timing, but should be something one can work around - but remember the timing is reversed, because you are using the relay to ground the injector.

Should allow Jeff to perform his experiment.

HI , this is as far as i know....

you have  power ( positive 12 volts) going in one side of injector, then u
switch the earth side to make the injector open/close.
u dont need  a relay to drive the injector,  use  the 555 timer  to 
switch/pulse a  power transistor to switch the injector, cause the relay ,
if used to switch a injector open for  fuel use will take tooo long.

i am not sure if the 555 time can switch enough current by itself ???? 

even though, using a relay to operate injector should work,.
