S12 ca18det brief pointers

[northerner]

I just used the original Three green relays with the wiring intact. It saves all the hassle of wiring it after market ones and you can follow the OE wiring diagram. Looking at yiur diagram it seems to fit the bill. You just have to make sure yoiu have the correct positive with IGN on as mine cut out after the key was released. How does it run ?

I thought if I replicate what is already there and just fill in the few missing frazzled bits it will be easier for me to get my head around.

Would I be right in thinking 10Amp inline fuses should be added in the wire direct from the battery, and inbetween each 30PIN and in the wire that runs to the fuel pump? as there are none present at all.

It seemed to run fine (although a little lumpy) until I fizzed it.

Is the link between Pin 30 and Pin 86 on the F relay correct??? Looking at the picture and the relays again on the car, there is no evidence of a wire link between them.

Really need PUKKA to come on and let me know how he wired it, so I can Replicate it again.

All sorted, new relays bought from Maplins and wired in. Started first turn of the key.

The original relays were marked on the top "E" "I" "F"
presumably for ECU, Injection, Fuel Pump

Think these were wrong as the link between pin86 and pin30 was on the "E" relay.

Going to get a 4x relay box and wire them in with inline fuses, to overt any future fire risks.

This should be a stark reminder to us all when messing with wires to:

Always, Always, Always disconnect the battery when working

well done mate .

Ideal, I'm glad you sorted it, things like that can be a nightmare if you're really unlucky.

[mckenziecz]

anyone near gatwick who could do the wiring for me? not for free obviously.

quick question, can i do a det conversion using a loom and ecu from a auto s13 into my manual s12?

or must it be a manual s13 it comes from

[paulsilv]

Not sure on this one. Don't know if there are any differences.

I grabbed everything from a manual.

Maybe the S13 Manual may give any differences, you can find them free online if you do a search.

yes the loom will be fine
