I frequently use this type of circuit but if the load is inductive ie solenoid I add a flyback diode.

Yep, that is for you to figure out! !!
89 Voyager LE, 2.5T2 - rest in peace
87 Charger Shelby T2 (2.4 conversion in process)
So can you write down the needs and wants?
For example,
1)Arduino based powered by 12V ( Arduino board has a local 5V regulator to power the micro)
2)Bluetooth to PC communications
3)4 or 5 ADC inputs for sensors ( Which sensors would you like to monitor?)
4)Voltage range of inputs
5) # of bits for ADC (standard is 10bit(0-1023) on Atmel 328P)
6) data collection rate to store on SD card.
Any others?
Possible sensors
Wideband
Narrowband
EGT
Oil Pressure
MAP
Knock

Personally I would like to log EGT as Wheming mentioned. I use a K type thermocouple with the MCP3422/4 (18bit) with cold junction correction on my home made coffee roaster which runs to approx 500F. So this should be easy to port as I have the code written and proven with years of use.
