Has anyone done the re-wire on a Ceffy?

I've followed the first post and tried a few other variations with no luck... All I can do is get the fuel pump to run constantly off the battery not accessory/ignition (ie pump running whilst the car is off)???

I didnt go quite to the extreme as the OP.

Mine just stopped working one day. No idea why. Pump relay and pump were both getting voltage, but nothing was working.

All i did was disconnect the stock 12v feed to te relay, then take the 12v feed from the 4ws Motor and connected that up instead seeing as the 4ws isnt used. . Tadaaa. Perfect running now. Uses the stock relay and earths. One wire to change.

hey guys, im doing this mod atm, and ive been wondering wether this would work or not.

im running a dual stage boost controller off a switch in my dash. im wondering if i run the battery 12v feed to my relay, and then run a positive feed from my dual stage switch to make the relay switch on and off, and then tap the battery 12v feed from the relay into the std pump positive feed would this cause any issues?

doing it that way, i can still run the reduced voltage when im just cruising around the streets on low boost, and if i want to give it a boot full and switch over to high boost(low boost is only 10 psi so the pump will suffice without the extra volts) it will pump the extra voltage from the direct feed into my fuel pump to get the max out of it. this in theory should work, but what im worried about is the extra voltage running back up the line on the stock wiring to the stock relay and causing a problem. it would have been good to beable to shut off the stock pump wiring altogether, but the issue there is when the lines switch there will be a momontary lapse in power to the pump.

is it worth a try or should i just run it at max all the time?

i guess u could try that if u really wanted to but whatever fuel the engine does not consume gets fed back into the tank anyways... id rather have more fuel then not enough when i "need" it...

Did this mod yesturday, Have some photos and a diagram if anyones confused to show how I did mine, seems to have improved the car a bit

R33FuelPumpRe-wire.jpg

Relay mounted:

Wires spliced into pump wiring:

So you don't need to take the pump back out and replace that wiring also? I really don't want to do that if i don't need to

It would be better to re-do all the wiring, but I didnt want to pull the pump out and play around with the plug in the fuel tank cap etc so I just did it like this

The pump sounds louder so must be getting some extra voltage, no problems so far

Cheers mate will do your way and if i have issues rewire as necessary. Not pushing the pump that hard (similar power to what you have

hi newbie here from UK

r32 gtr owner.

could someone tell me what do you do with the old fuel pump plug??

i realise i can either cut for 12v before the plug, or fit a male spade fitting inside the plug on the 12v side to trigger the relay.

what do you do with the plugs negative feed?? simply cover it up with tape?? or does this still need to go to ground also?? (so in total, 3 wires to ground, plug/relay/pump)

thanks

ps, anyone confirm the wire colours for the + and - on the plug on a r32 gtr

Did you use the negative (gray) from the wiring loom as well or just the 12v blue?

Cheers

Also my battery in the boot on the drivers side so all my new fuel pump cables are short in length, I'm running a walbro e85 400lph pump

What would be the best size cable to support this pump? 8gauge would be hugely overkill for such short distances?

i used 8g as i had few meters of spare cable, also make sure +ve and -ve are the same gauge, my one just plugs into the existing pin, wires inside the tank hasn't been touched

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
