12V power supply
Where do you guys grab the 12V power for the pump in the engine bay?
I might try to install my devils own stage 1 before my dyno day on saturday. Also what 12v ign source do you use? |
I ran one with relay from the cabin. which source depends on when you want it powered.

Definitly use a relay to draw power from...most key'd 12v sources are small ga wires which you can only draw so much current through...this is what I did when I was installing my wb and ebc....I just picked up a water/shock proof solid state relay which I wired to a distribution block...since this block had two strips, one side I used as my common ground and the other I used obviously for my fused 12v keyed sources...this isnt the easiest way to do it, but probably the right way

haha i have the 30 amp relay... im wondering where to get the actual 12 volt source in the engine bay...without going allthe way back to the battery.
The ign is just a signal to the relay. Electrical connection to Relay *Refer to pin number not color • Pin 85 connects to the top pin O on the pressure switch. • Pin 86 connects to the ignition 12v source in your vehicle • Pin 87 connects to the Pumps Red wire. • Pin 30 connects to the fuse and then to the other end of the fuse to the +12v source of the battery. • Pin 87a connects to nothing. |

What about tapping off of the alternator?
Please excuse me if thats a retarded idea... |
get any car audio multi-fused distribution block.
