Abstract
An electronic supercharger pressure control system for internal combustion engines, designed to enhance engine performance by precisely regulating the boost pressure to user-defined levels. The system features an electronic servo actuator connected to a supercharger pressure relief valve, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the valve's position to control boost pressure accurately. A manifold air pressure sensor measures air pressure, providing feedback to an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is further linked to a user input device equipped with a potentiometer knob and button, enabling the user to set and adjust the desired boost pressure level easily. The system operates by receiving and analyzing manifold air pressure signals and user-defined boost settings, adjusting the relief valve via the servo actuator to maintain boost pressure within a specific range.
