Well thats quite strange as your only using a relay?!? :S

I remember the relay is in the boot inside the drivers side guard as if you follow the wiring thats where it goes. I think. :dry:

Ok thanks Cubes, ill have a play with it and try and sort it out. God i hate these stupid problems. :sleep:

The relay was under the rear boot trim on the drivers side, it is a green relay and plug.

Ive tried to wire this thing up every way possible with no success, it does work fine until you switch the car off then reds stay on but car stalls so there must be an issue with the turbo timer somewhere that is causing another problem.

Put the wires back to standard and the turbo timer works fine.

Ill have another play with it this arvo as i would like to get this fixed up before the tune on monday but if i cant get it sorted i guess ill leave the malpassi reg in it with the pump at 10.9 volts.

Turbo timers are over rated anyway. :huh:

Ha ha yeah but then my dash will look stupid with

A: A turbo timer that doesnt work, or

B: A spot where the turbo timer was glued on. lol.

I unplugged the factory relay and plugged wires in to connect it to a different relay and everything works sweet at 10.9 volts, then i tried joining the 2 blue wires together and use this for the trigger and connected a fused 12 gauge wire from the battery on the relay. Starts fine with 13.6 volts but at shutdown the timer will not keep the car running.

Does it really matter if it isnt getting positive from the same old place? Who would of thought one relay could cause so much trouble.

I think ive wired it up every way possible as well.

Not sure this is right, going by memory but the 30 and 85 are your coil and 86 and 87 your normally open contact and therfore the 12 volts fused should be on 86 and the fuel pump trigger should be on 30. I think that is correct but only going on memory

I just wired up a relay this afternoon and all was going fine untill i turned the car off, now the turbo timer will not keep the car running but the ignition stays on but the car just stops. If i put the wires back to standard its fine, i tried using another relay but get the same result.

Everything was wired up right

30. 12v battery fused

85. earth

86. fuel pump trigger

87. fuel pump

Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Does anyone know where the factory pump relay is.

Thanks.

85 and 86 are the coil :(

Gave up on it anyway, have the pump running full voltage now so ill work something out with the timer later.

How many L/hour pump capacity do you need for 300rwkw?

Is a Nismo fuel pump by itself enough (its 4.1L/min I think), I'm going to use Nismo 740cc injectors.

Can someone tell me whether I still need to get a nismo fuel regulator?

ok i just read every post in this thread and im more confused than ever.....does someone have photos or a diagram showing what has been done.....i get that you run power cable from the +ve batt to the relay to the pump, and ground the pump to the chassis.....then how do i wire up the oem pump wiring to the relay? oem +ve to +ve on relay? then oem -ve to relay then -ve on relay to chassis or oem -ve straight to chassis.....hope this makes sense :)

Cheers

I am in the process of upgradeing my injectors to GTR injectors and I think I will be doing the fuel pump wireing upgrade if I get time aswell this weekend, if not it will be next weekend.

I was actually thinking of just rewiring the whole system still retaining the voltage drop circuit (located in the boot.) for lower flow @ idle (basically just replaceing the thin wire from the fuse panel/relay/dropping circuit back.) I don't know how difficult it will be but I should be right.

Now the only thing is does anyone know where the original pump relay is located?

If it works out I'll take a few photos etc.

Oh yeah and I am using a boch 040 intanke pump.

Sounds like a good idea Reddrifter..

There's a couple of relays in the boot. Follow the wires and you'll find them. They are located in the rear guard so a little bit of a pain in the arse to get to.

As in the right hand guard near the voltage req circuit box for the pump?

Not completely sure. :S

I do know there's a couple of relays in the drivers rear guard that have wires entering/exiting from the fuel pump loom section. I'm unsure if the high/low switching occurs there or else where.

The R33's from what I've seen don't suffer the same large volt drop as the R32's; their battery is in the boot so no doubt this does help some what..

14.8v if thats correct is overcharging a tad. Keep an eye on it.

OK I had a bit of a play this avo and I measured 12.25 volts at the positive wire of the pump, so My car isn't doing to bad.

In the rear drivers side guard is the fuel pump modulator and in the back near the boot release is the pumps relay.

Would I be loosing much from the Bosch 040 @ 12.25volts at idle rather than 13.8?

oh yeah, you definitely will. Like lighting, the smallest drop in voltage sees big gains.

e.g. with lighting, having the headlights at 11volts, the brightness is almost half that if the voltage was 13.8volts.

However, bear in mind that yes, it will flow more if you do the wiring, but do you need it? e.g. if you have a big pump, you might not need to potential extra.

For my cars, i've never bothered to rewire it. The stock pump wouldn't be enough for me if I rewired it, and the aftermarket pump flows enough, so I don't find the need to wire it.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
