Gday all my names Chris and i plan to run an 044+surgey and im a bit stuck with the wiring. (ive searched and couldnt find anything i could understand)

First of all i don't really understand the use of a relay, (i know im a noob flame suit is already on) i've googled and what not but i still dont see the necessity?

If anyone has a wiring diagram or their own setup they could help me with that'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Chris

So you don't understand how to do it, yet you find the use of a relay un-necessary?

Yeah people just spend more time wiring them in for nothing, so you should be right to skip it.

Stolen from GTR.co.uk, this is how I set up mine..

I havent read your threads in depth, but... To "hard wire" your pumps via a relay, Which is what i did. You run the earth directly to battery, or a very good body earth (Use wire that is capable of delivering 15amps+ per pump.)

Get a 4 pin relay ( ive got a 30 amp relay, but Im only running one HKS pump. Higher amp relays are availiable) The pins on a 4pin relay, are numbered 85,86,30 and 87. Pins 85 and 86, are for the switching windings and 30,87 is where your current runs through.

Take your permanant live wire directly from the battery, and connect it to pin 30. From pin 87,wire to the live side of the pump.

Pin 85 should go to earth (5, or 8 amp wire).

Connect the original pump live to pin 86 on the relay. Done. Mount the relay so it looks good.

A standard pump uses approx 5amps on tick over, so allow 15 for a proper one. put a fuse in the main live. 20amps per pump id say, and use the same amp rated wire you use for your earth. you could run one, or two relays it depends what you want to do.

This method allows the ecu to switch the pumps as intended.:rofl2:

Have a read of this too, explains how relays work.

haha cause its so much easier to have a go at someone than actually explain it.

50+cool points to you bloke.

I didnt say they werent a neccesity i just dont understand why their needed.

Ive read that and it doesnt say why you should run a relay as opposed to just running a direct wire feed.

btw i dont mind if you come in here and be all like "your a dickhead you dont know anything im number 1 internet warrior look at meee" it just proves what sort of person you are.

Cheers for trying to help though Jonno :rofl2:

Heres a diagram of what you pretty much just said johno.

Anyways i've had more of a read and im starting to understand the application of a relay cheers johnno

The two main reasons for using a relay are

1. minimising voltage drop - using heavy cable shortest route between battery and load (pump)

2. Allowing all the other wiring and switches in the circuit except the relay to be relatively low amperage (inside the ecu etc)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
