Which pins on the relay?

Leafy 06-19-2013 04:26 PM

I forget, pop the black cap off the relay and look.

Well on my way home the truck decided to have a flat. It's raining so hard you could barely see anything around you. Luckily an employee I work with lives near me and was right behind me, not about to change the tire out in the pouring rain. Now I have no vehicles to drive, couldn't get any better than this! Well... maybe. This package definitely helps

Props to Leafy, main relay was french fried! Jumper got her running again. Off to the parts store!

Leafy 06-19-2013 09:47 PM

Haza! Now that you know how its wired, just grab a 45 amp universal jobby and make yourself a "patch harness". I'd really like to see a more eloquent solution to this than mine.

I assume you've tried this? I'd love to see that lol

Hopefully I can find a relay at work, I have a box full of working relays but not sure if one will work out.

Lol, like this to test it, ended up not being the issue, stock relay is back in there. :giggle:

The solenoid on my relay is totally shot, not really sure what caused it besides being 13 years old. Parts stores didn't carry them so hopefully I can find one at work.

I'm ready to play with the new ecu :party:

Main relay also died on me once. I replaced with another one from my 25085671240 spare fuse boxes... maybe I should get new one, heh.

FowlerMotorsports 06-20-2013 05:33 PM

Noone in town has one, would be monday til I could get one. Luckily the smallest parts shop in town had one at the warehouse, picking it up after work to get back on the road

Stared the day off good. Had a long night of watching midget wrestling, they were pretty entertaining!

Got my short shift installed which is 10x better than my old shifter. I think the bushing were just wore out in my old setup. So after quickly getting the shifter done I figured I would install the new ms3!

After 5 hours of screwing with wiring, routing my wideband and getting everything setup to run the ms3, it seems my wideband is shot. I get (8.) on my gauge which people say the whole setup is fried. If I were to get E8 (error 8) then the sensor would be bad, but this reads 8. with and without the sensor installed.

After wasting my time I was screw it, i'm selling my car. Pissed off at it, hating life with no boost, but i've calmed down and decided to run ms3 with the narrowband. This car is slowly getting on my nerves, after I washed it I just fell in love again lol what a love/hate relationship we have <3

I have a lc1 that's brand new, $100?

FowlerMotorsports 06-23-2013 06:54 PM

I have the mtx-l, not sure how much different it is than the lc1.

I'm guessing I just sourced a bad 12v and ground. I hooked the wideband up to a 12v battery and recalibrated it just now, works like a champ.

I'll fiddle around with it more this week to get it installed, i'v been playing around with my new Ruger MKIII all weekend.

Should I put together a cheap turbo setup? By cheap I mean find a used FM manifold/dp, custom exhaust, small t28ish turbo, just something to toy with.

The original plan was to go EFR with an ARTech full exhaust setup. Spending over $4,000 isn't in my budget anymore since school starts in October, but I would really love a turbo setup while I am in school. My school offers free dyno tuning/pulls for students, so on my off time I can play as long as I want (as long as their is supervision in the shop)

Suggestions? All I lack is a turbo, manifold, downpipe and exhaust to complete my turbo setup. I have everything else.

Wait for EFR or go for instaspool cheapo trubo??? Decisions decisions

wittyworks 07-02-2013 07:39 PM

Cheap setup for now. You will learn a lot and have a lot more fun with turbo NOW! Shit will break and you will have to fix it when you should be studying, but at least you will be able to get to class fast.

Apartment is literally 1/4 mile from school, I pull out of the apartments and i'm there lol real question is where I will be working at. Who knows how far that will be

The real question is, can you get to school in 9 seconds or less?

;)

FowlerMotorsports 07-02-2013 08:18 PM

Maybe once I am lined up. A question to your question, is the 1/4 mile a real 1/4 mile or a fast n furious 1/4 mile??

18psi 07-02-2013 08:19 PM

If you don't shift at least 8 times, you're doin it wrong
