high voltage injectors (HDi diesel)
I'm very interested in building one of these.
My car has a Peugeot/Citroen HDi engine. The injectors open at 70V, way above a conventional petrol injector. What additional circuit could I add to a) not interfere with the car and b) not fry the MPGuino's microprocessor!
Would a simple "potential divider" do the trick with suitable resistor values?
What voltage does the MPGuino want to see on the injector connection?

There is some introductory info on the engine at

for those interested.
Thanks in advance,

PS Just realised that as my injection pressure can vary from 200 to 1350 bar (that's 1350bar) then I need to add this into the equation. I have a fuel pressure sensor. How hard would it be to add in another variable?
