I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive method for measuring the speed of the turbocharger on my diesel engine. I'd like to avoid costly eddy-current or laser-based systems, and would prefer a Hall effect type of sensor.
Does anyone know of such a setup? How feasible is an accelerometer based sensor (I think not very.)? Something with a 0-5V output would be ideal. Turbo speed gets up to around 90,000 RPM.
Thanks for any insight.
