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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
