Introduction: Fuel Injector Cleaner Pulse Generator BOX
More by the author:
About: Im a maker, race car lover (DRIFT), electronics engineer and RC hobbies
This is my machine pulse generator to clean injectors, made in low budget, using Arduino and some parts. It can be used in a test bench or only to operate the injectors correctly, keeping them safe while cleaning. Is easy to build so far.
It is useful for a workshop or personally, it operates 4 injectors at the same time, generating the necessary pulses while maintaining a favorable work cycle so as not to damage them or affect their correct operation.
It has 4 speeds and a constant pulse on request, (button on / off) to open the injectors to the maximum if necessary.
Buttons description:
1 = 800 rpm
2 = 1500 rpm
3 = 3600 rpm
4 = 5000 rpm
CON-P = on / off injectors STOP
You can use this calculator to know how many hz is in 1 RPM, this is for ensure the correct speed needed.
Conversion from Hz to RPM:
800 rpm = 13.33hz
1500 rpm = 25hz
3600 rpm = 60hz
5000 rpm = 83.33hz

Step 4: The Assembly
At this point i had the proyect done like a year ago and i decide to publish it now, so i didnt took photo for the process but as you can see not hard to do something like this following the Schematics. On the other Hands works very well, i had a lot of injectors cleaned with a home made test bank.
