I'm installing a Devils Own Alcohol/water injection kit. It utilizes a GM MAF/map sensor. This sensor needs 5 volts. How can I get 5 volts? Thanks, B |

Google 5v voltage regulator and it will give you schematics. This was brought up a week or so ago when I talked of using a map to judge if a cold air scoop would help on VE. It's about 3-4 cheap radio shack pcs and easy to solder. Let us know how it works out. |

Thanks, Ssg. I looked at the schematics, boy.. I will make the circuit board as a last resort. But it will look terrible, my engine compartment wiring already looks like a telephone switch board from the 1950's put together by monkeys. I was hoping for some sort of module. If I do make this thing, are there housings and or ways to make it look clean and protect it from the hazards of my engine bay? Sounds like it might be a trip to Fries tomorrow. BT |

To get 5 volts for sensor I would use USB mobile phone / iPad charger as a donor for the regulator electronics. The board inside is less than half od square inch and easy to capsule with scrincable insulation tube etc. |

good idea.Instead of taking it apart to get to the board, just cut off one end of the USB cable to get to the power wires. |

The USB thing isn't a bad idea either. If you needed protection in the engine bay, radio shack sell small "project boxes" that can be sealed. No need for a bread board, it's 4 pcs total if built. It like the USB would take up very little room. You may have a phone charger laying around which would be quicker. |

Thanks for the options, I will look for an old car charger and If not it sounds like a trip to Radio Shack. Cheers, B |

Thanks, good info. I installed the converter today and it works. And the car started for the first time since I installed the turbo! Cheers. |
