12v voltage step
I need some guidance. What Id like to buy or create is something to step down the voltage to a pump. I would like it to be adjustable as well.
Its purpose. im running a remote setup on my car so I have a scavenge pump for the oil drain. I would like to drop the voltage to 6-8v while the cars not boosting. Then either at high rpm or as soon as it makes boost fire back up to 12-13.? volts.

Re: 12v voltage step
You'll burn out the pump. Best bet is PWM control, contact Dan Nicoson of www.myo-p.com. I dunno how far along his PWM controller is, but that is one of the things he is working on.
FYI, what sort of pump are you using? Most of those are expensive... and the cheap electric-hydraulic pumps I know of (all are electric PS pumps) are pretty bulky and heavy.

RR/AutoX forum on H-T, thread should still be on the first page. I'll link it later if I remember to.
