L20Et Wiring

Hi...i have a problem with my L20et engine...i got the engine from a buddy but the fuel pump relay and EFI relays are missing and don't know where on the ECU the wires for those relays are located...i wanted to know if you can send me a picture or a wiring diagram for this engine please or if you can tell me what pins on the ECU is the wires. Its the original 3 jack type ECU, its also an uncut harness, all the other wires are connected in place straight from the factory from years ago...I could be wrong in asking for this because I don't really know if the ECU controls the fuel pump relay & the E.F.I relay, but i've been looking at L28et diagrams and I saw these relays and thought that since the L20et & L28et are so similar they both should have the same components...but didn't know they had 2 different ECU setups :(

Another thing I wanted to know is if the L20et works with a high pressure fuel pump because the engine isn't in an R30 Skyline, its in a C32 Laurel which originally came with an L24 Carb engine with a low pressure fuel pump which i swapped out with a RB25DET fuel pump. So I was just wondering if anybody can help me with this tiring situation. Thanks!

yes l20et uses a high pressure fuel pump.

Ecu does control the fuel pump, but actually controlled a Varible controller set under the parcel tray for fuel pump voltage control (noise levels), Isnt the rb25 fuel pump internal ?. Either way if its installed corectly it wont have any problems

For fuel pump power find a iginition source and wire in your own relay with a good power feed from the battery. From what i worked out the l20et ecu doesnt have a rollover protection device that kills the fuel pump, so the only benifit it does is a priming cycle on ignition on. So you will not be missing much.

ECU feeds power to the injectors directly. I know this might not be much help. This is what i fouind when stripping my harness down, I do have a book that covers 90% of the wiring in Jappa's and AUS R30's that ill have a look to see what i can find for you

Thank you so much for replying mate!..and great advice i would of never thought about connecting it to an ignition..cause i was afraid i blew something lol.

Yea the rb25 is and internal pump...but here's the problem i've been facing...when i connect the fuel directly meaning i just ground it and connect the other end to the battery and start the engine it runs for a minute and cuts off...when i disconnect the pump the car starts and idles and revs but as soon as the rpm comes back down from revving the car cuts off...i have the fuel regulator set at 40psi by the way....when i just connect the pump for 3 seconds to pressurize the rail and start the car its starts and idles for 7 mins without the fuel pump on but as soon as i rev it the car cuts off...but if keep pulsing the wire for the fuel pump on the battery off/on off/on the car works fine...and when i want it to idle i just have to disconnect the pump and when its about to cut off give it the 3 seconds connection. This is when i realized that the fuel pump relay and EFI relays were missing and was controlled by the ECU.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
