P3 gauge methanol flow meter ???

**saw76** · 03-03-2017 09:45 AM

Has anybody tried to hook up a methanol flow meter and tie it into a p3 gauges additional input so that it reads and displays flow rate on the gauge ?
I did a quick search and didn't come up with any posts . I guess blue and brown wire on p3 gauges are the extra 0-5v inputs ??? Id like to do this . From what I have read the aquamist sensor is the best one that doesn't fail as often . Not sure how it ties in tho or what to do ?

I looked into it with my AEM kit but it wasn't worth the extra cost to me.

I do have the status LED for the AEM kit right above the P3 gauge so I can monitor flow that way.

Yes but that just shows on and off power to the pump ? I have the stage 3 kit by snowperformance and it shows the same.
But I had a nozzle clog up and it still showed pump on and pump off, I had no idea for a few days and realized I still had a full tank of methanol when I went to fill it up.
This is why Im looking into a flow meter.
The P3 has inputs and I would love to just tie into it. The aquamist kit is about 130 for the sensor and wire harness

Took a bunch of digging but I was able to find a water flow meter for a coffee machine that can hold up to the pressure of the pump and might have a 0-5v Analog output.

It might be a PWM but I am not sure as the description was vague.

It was $10 and should wire up pretty easily. I'll let you know if I make any progress with it when it comes next week.

ohh nice !!!! Thanks so much !!!

This is the meter I found http://www.aquamist-direct.com/806-5...nsor-assembly/

This is the harness for it http://www.aquamist-direct.com/806-5...-sensor-cable/

wasnt sure of voltage signal and how that worked tho. Thats why I was on here checking.
