EBC Ampage??
How many amps does an average (or specific) Electronic Boost Control Valve need? The reason i ask in the output i want to use from my ECU to control one can only support 0.6 Amps... not a lot!
If 0.6 amps is not enough then do i have any other options? Obviously cant use a relay... My only other option is to use the output which i currently use for idle control which can sink 4 Amps. This would mean having no IACV and maybe using the minimum throttle stop bolt to just lift the idle until it wont stall. It is a dedicated race car so possibly not the end of the world depending how bad it is. Last season i ran a standalone EBC with only a high and low setting and now i want to run a full boost control map to improve power delivery and increase driveability. |
You could run it through some sort of higher powered transistor.

Use a mosfet. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1357442822
Substitute JS2 for whatever output you are using on your ECU. Profit |
Yeah like that :)

Measure how many volts you have on the "12V" input to the valve. amps = volts / resistance. So, for example, if you measure 13.5V on the valve, and the valve's resistance is 30 Ohms, the amps will be 13.5/30 = 0.45 which is ok. |
That's awesome! Thanks for the rapid response. Hopefully it will be fine.

The vave motec sell is 22ohms so is going to be very close depending on supply voltage. I would expect it is going to be fine though.
