So looks like it worked a treat, cathode side on the +ve terminal.

Also noticed the SSR isn't running as hot anymore, explains why they were all dying after some time. When I got back home after the drive with @PLYNX and my mate, I was actually only running on one pump as I previously had 2x SSRs running side by side but without heatsinks. I decided to convert to a single SSR with a large heatsink for simplicity, and that's when I noticed the issue with my setup.

Anyhow, I found this diagram from another brand name SSR and they specify that all inductive loads must be suppressed by a fly back diode.

Running at 90% 

Will start to lower it soon when my laptop is charged and keep dropping it till the fuel pressure starts to drop and raise it by 10%

Hi Dose, do you have the part number for the diode you used? i need to do this for my SSR before i cook another one...

This is the one I used :)

Hi Johnny,

Love the build, it gives me the much motivation needed to get into my 33.. I am really keen to know more about the details of your PWM setup, any chance you are you able to provide a wiring diagram on how you set yours up? Size of wiring and fuses etc? There so much conflicting info on the interwebs, however, it seems like you have refined the setup nicely.

Cheers

@R3N3 wiring diagram is pretty much this:

images.png.0fe3e90de01c13094e2d1ce341a4c042.png

Output 1 is +ve battery
Output 2 goes to your fuel pump(s)
Input 3 is +ve IGN
Input 4 is the PWM output from your ECU

Battery -> Output 1, just regular 8GA audio wiring. Used a audio style 80AMP ANL fuse.
Output 2 -> goes to a fuse block, with 2x 30AMP fuses, used decent gauge wiring to the fuel pumps

Fuel pump side, used 2x Schottky 40V 3A diodes, cathode side on the positive terminal of the fuel pump. Remember that current travels from +ve to -ve, but voltage the other way around.

Legend. Thanks

Shit just noticed I made a mistake, 

OUTPUT 1 to pump

OUTPUT 2 to battery.

Ironic the wiring diagram was in my face and I still managed to cock it up. Shows males can't multitask

Johnny how have you found having the pumps PWM controlled? lower/consisstant fuel temps?

Keen for bathroom updates.

Good question, I went on a 4 hour drive not long ago, I should download that data and have a look :)

 

I'll probably let it sit at room temperature, and used my MAPP brazing torch to sear it... will post pics when I cook it, going Korea first LOL.

@PLYNX hahaha yeah, I might need tyres soon and also I have 2x cars I need to tune this Saturday, trying a 3rd place for dyno hire and waiting for them to get back to me.

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
