Diesel Injector Driver (CRD) 2

[koldone2]

Does anyone know of a source for a Injector Driver Box that will drive common rail injectors (Bosch, Delphi, Siemens)? I am looking for a reasonably priced driver that will work in a vehicle for a personal project. I know there are lab grade units that cost thousands, I am looking to spend hundreds. I would happy if it can drive 4 injectors at the required P&H. I want to fire the injector using the ignition output (TTL) of an automotive type module.

Acell markets a stand alone system for gasoline injection systems. You might be able to adapt it for your purposes. Figure on about $2000 for a 4 cyl application ------Phil

Most of the automotive stuff out there is for low impedance injectors~6-8 amps peak- 2-4 amps hold. The CRD requires much higher current capability- 20-25 amp peak and 12-15 amp hold (approximate numbers but you get the point).

Why not use OEM parts of a popular 4 cylinder 12 volt common rail diesel engine.

In order to accomplish what I want, I need to run custom software. I have have the software and module to do the job- just need a reasonalbly priced driver box. I have talked to a lot of people looking for the same thing.

Delphi supplied control modules to, I believe, Renault in Europe for common rail applications.
These modules were also used by Ford of Europe on common-rail engines where the Ford/Visteon ECU was used to do all the control work and the Delphi module was used to handle the injector control.

A Delphi part number like 593 062 24, or 593 050 62 would be such a part.
A Ford Finis code of 1216024 equates to the second Delphi number.

No idea how you'd get the info for programming and the module pin-out though.

Not sure if they can help you, but the people who started Megasquirt injection have always answered any questions I have had.

It is worth a shot.
