what diode do u recommend for 50A current?

This is the one I'm using

also is you ssr on a heat sink? does it need to be?

It is on a fairly large heatsink, this one to be exact. To be honest, you could get away by surface mounting it to a metal surface.

dont suppose u could do a diagram on how u have everything wired up?

@Dose Pipe SutututuI don't know much about the SSR's, are they just a single output?  So if you had two pumps (ignoring lift pumps from this) you wanted to stage separately you would need two separate SSR's?  Or is the idea that you stage both pumps together to control them and their output as a pair as opposed to running one flat knacker all the time and then staging the second pump?

Guys regarding diodes, you should be using something that is going to be rated massively higher than 40v for the flyback voltage. Rule of thumb is roughly 10 times higher than supply voltage, so at least 100v diode or above.  Flyback current is minimal but voltage high, so 1A is usually sufficient.

So bare minimum should be a 1N4001 which is 100v / 1A or a 1N4004 at 400v / 1A. For a bit more headroom on the current I've found the 1N5404 to be big overkill at 400v / 3A which is what I'm running now.

Single contacts. I believe Dose pipe is PWM controlling 2 pumps through the one 100A SSR. I've also tested it with 3 x pumps.

Also the Jaycar 30v / 100A SSR is the exact one Haltech is selling, Kudom (not Crydom as first thought) is the supplier. Crydom however is the best in the business for SSR and have just released their 4th gen versions. The D1D100 is their new 30v / 100A for improved reliability. They are expensive but the best.

All solid state relays require a flyback voltage diode when switching inductive loads like a fuel pump. This is just trivial anyway as you usually place the diode at across your pump terminals, not at the relay.

Its good practice anyway to use diodes on coil type relays as well, not just solid state ones.

Correct, you would run 2x SSRs.

The idea behind PWM is instead of running the pumps at full tilt you just run them at lower duty cycles and ramp them up as you need.

Similar to new modern cars and their engine fans, notice it's not just on/off? it ramps up depending on temperature requirements.

I have  been meaning to investigate this. The controllers for those are huge, as the gans would draw large currents. And should be reasonably cheap. Will report back , if not within 6 months please wait longer.

* 2.5 SAU scaling factor, so 15 months :)

wheres ur relay sitting?

If you have an R32 GTR a really good spot we found was underneath the HICAS unit shown, picking up the existing 3 mounting bolts. This is the relay / heat sink setup from the our white 32 driving a Walbro 525. Note diode across pump terminals.

can u do the diode at the relay end also? bit easier if running 3 in tank pumps as on ly 1 earth and 3 +

It can be anywhere physically so long as it is wired as required.

Still easier at pump terminal end using 3 diodes. Why one earth ? You realise your one earth has to be very large then to carry the current of 3 pumps if you go that way.

Also you will absolutely need a bigger alternator,. The factory 90A is not going to cut it, as your system voltage will be shit. If you are intending on running 3 x Walbro 460 or 525 your current draw at full noise under boost is more like 60 - 70A. The single 525 at 43psi, 100% duty is pulling around 18 - 18.2A on 13.7v as per spec, rising to around 22 -23A on boost when I clamped it. That's just one Walbro, and is the reason I don't use Walbros on my triple pump setup on the other 32.

Yeah I hear ya!!! 😉

I think ill jut run 2 and have the 3rd sitting there in place ..just in case.. but yeah ill be getting a 140a alternator

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
