The horn relay I got has 5 pins - 30, 85, 86, 87and 87a - there was also a 4 pin one but it had its own fuse in the fuse holder - I already have the wire from battery to boot with fuse holder (50A fuse inside) - I need to get a large 30A fuse which I couldnt find. Is this horn relay and the relay base (connector) sufficient?? The thickest connector wire is only rated at 15A and 105 degrees, 600V and 14AWG whatever that is.. And the ground eye connectors are the small blue ones, also got similar size wire bullet terminals too.

Please advise if these items r ok - and which pin shud I use for pump +ve 87, not 87A?? 87A is closed and 87 is open.

Horn Relay Base

This is a plug in base with cable attached.- Suits SY-4068 and SY-40

Your right man. My bad.

When there is 87a it is connected to 30 even though the coil is not energised. But when the coil gets energised then 87a is not connected.

no

If you use the normally closed circuit, your fuel pump will prime ALL the time until a circuit is passed through the coil (which will be when you turn the car on and the fuel pump circuit is energised) then the fuel pump will turn off.

Normally open is in the open (no circuit) condition when there is no signal

Normally closed is closed (complete circuit) condition when there is no signal

Your signal in this case is your original fuel pump wiring engaging the coil.

Basically if you imagine that the drawing I posted has a circle with 87a where the left hand circuit is incomplete then thats what the 87a will be. Make sense?

Yeah I'm pretty sure thats the right way. Worst case scenario, if you hear the pump priming while the cars off or anything weird like that then change to pin 87a. But I Think 87 is normally open

yes its open, I can confirm that from the diagram on my relay - 87a is connected to the other side of pin 30 (battery current draw) and 87 is not connected to anything.

Have just wired in my fuel pump at an automotive shop and its done wrong because it keeps running when ignition is off and they only used one of the 2 wires (the yellow/ black one) goin onto pump and hooked both ends of that onto relay 87(goin to pump) and 85 (ecu ign signal). The other wire (green/white) goin to pump from ecu is untouched. Relay pin 86 is earthed by itself only.

Pump has 2 wires - green/white and a yellow/black which comes from a splitter hooked to 3 yellow/black wires. Are these the ground wires or is the green/black ground?? Is the r34 +ve or -ve trigger??

Good news is that now the car is back running smooth as ever and all the missing/pops/power loss/hesitation in low rpms is GONE..

But I still have to take off relay everytime I park or else the pump keeps running! Someone please hepl..

There are two wiring "how to"s in the DIY section. The relay switching signal comes from the original wire, There should ideally be a new heavy duty wire coming from the battery and that goes through the relay to the pump. Take it back to the shop that did it and ask them to fix it (for no extra charge).

There is a heavy duty wire with 30A fuse from battery to pump. But as above, the wiring is just wrong, I know u have to cut both ecu-pump wires and hook them to relay and earth/chassis - in my case as I mentioned above only one of those wires is cut. The workshop guys obviously are not too clever, so I wouldnt let them fk it up some more, besides they closed now.. Its a simple wiring I know, just gotta know which wire is ground and which is original switch wire..

It would help big time if someone can post which color code is which wire on R34s. I have 3 yellow/blacks goin onto one yellow/black that goes to pump. And a green/white that goes to pump. Plus 2 other wires purple and black, goin onto fuel sender..

took it for a drive - better than ever - too much wheelspin when goin on boost which is too dangerous and a big thumbs down - even goin straight downhill - kind of wet road (i know) it wheelspins in 2nd.. I think I have less than/around 220rwkw on my 12psi neo engine, a lot of u guys would class that as pretty underpowered, yet how come most of u in the 270 and up rwkw range are NOT complaining about wheelspin????

Maybe its to do with my HARD cusco rear coilovers??? - not enough grip??? Front is the same tho not so hard..

But first things first, someone please tell me the color code for the r34 fuel pump wiring and which ones the trigger?? my wirings still not proper for now - refer above posts..

thanks

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
