Hey guys not sure if its the right section but anyways. Have all the ecu hooked up and everything else

Need help with the wiring guys. I have it all done just no fuel, cant here the pumps running and i have done this:

The first thing you'll need is a 12V 30Amp relay.

Connect one side of the of the relay COIL to wire 49.

Connect the other side of the relay COIL to ECU pin 18 on the ECU.

Connect one side of the relay CONTACTS to the INNER conductor of the shielded cable. Should be the white (W) wire. (This is from an r31 or a pintara not sure) I just connected it to the violet wire which is to the fuel pumps

Connect the other side of the relay CONTACTS to earth on the cars body. Now the relay will cut the fuel pumps earth when the engine stops or it has finished priming.

However this has not worked and I have got no pumps???? Its kinda got me stuffed

The conversion is from an r32 gtst silver top rb20det into a vl

Basically the information regarding wire 49 and 18 is correct and relevant, because it's a VL but you will be looking at a slightly different body loom/wire colour scheme as you mention. From memory 49 is IGN and 18 earths out via the ECU to trigger the fuel pump relay.

Find the existing VL fuel relay in the car, then look at the diagram on the top of the relay to find the trigger, the thin gauge wires are generally your trigger. Using the trigger wires, wire one side to pinout 49 and the other side to pinout 18. Then establish if the pump needs 12v or ground in order to run with the IGN on, then wire relay accordingly.

The R31 pumps get 12v on IGN, then ground out via the relay, some pumps are the opposite depending on the vehicle in question.

If you have done all of the above, go back with a multimeter and re-check what your getting on pin 49, that is usually the culprit. Make sure your ECU grounds are bolted down as well.

OK OFFICALLY DOING MY HEAD IN!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Now, I have this

A wire from pin 49 from ecu to Relay

A wire from pin 18 from ecu to Relay

A wire from earth to relay

A wire to the fuel pumps on relay

What do I do now. Im confussed!

I think what your trying to say is this. I have that part set up right and all I need to do now is:

Find the trigger wire off the factory vl relay and put it to the same wire as pin 49 on the relay?? Yes/no

Now there is 2 relays factory on the vl for the fuel pump

Ok guys, new day new mind on things :)

What I have now....

Disgarded relay that i put in.

Have a dark green wire from the vl loom which is trigger i think. So I connected it to pin 18 on ecu which is fuel pump relay

Pin 104 on ecu I have put the violet wire too from the vl loom which is to the fuel pumps

Ok turned the key, it primed but backwards.... So what do i do now to change it so its forwards??

thanks guys

Its flowing backwards and blowing bubbles in the tank. Instead of flowing to the fuel rail its pupming the other way. So in other words flowing backwards (the wrong way)

Pin 104 is what controls the pump thought yeah? Which its connected to the positive wire that runs to the pumps, which is violet

All sorted guys. Thanks for your help!

Feel like a bit of a dick......I could here bubbles and thought it was flowing backwards..ended up being the fuel lines around the wrong way on the fuel rail and it was blowing buubles in my surge tank!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
