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

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
    • Been so long since I have been here,seeing SDU is dead. I had that problem on my gtr in 2006 but luckily there was no engine damage,it was inspected by Hytech Engines,race bearings and extended crank collar put in and that was about it. Hopefully yours is sorted now.
