    What are you using for a 5v source for aftermarket pressure transducer?

    I'm hoping to log transmission pressure. What have you used as a 5v source to power your aftermarket pressure transducer?

    Thanks,

    I was thinking about something like that. Even a cell phone charger type of device. Leaning toward just tapping 5v from the TPS/AC sensor 5v. Anyone do that?

    should be fine using a ecu 5v output i was almost going to go that way but wiring in a wire from the ecu to inside was harder then just a 5v reg inside already

    You could use a cheap buck converter in line to drop the voltage down.
