what type of relay... actually, i don't even know how or what a relay does :)

[Taz_Rx]

I'll give you one tomorrow and explain how they work. :)

[Falken_KE30]

O yes that works... don't have the $$ for the dash or stickers yet...but ill talk to ya about that tommorow..

 

On a side note, i got a thermo fan off a Camry.. have fitted it to the rolla, and it fits inside the standard shroud bit... so it all looks stocko. :)

Motor is back in and all hooked up..

 

Havent started or driven it yet.. will do that tommorow as I'm fairly stuffed today lol..

Have got brake line fixed, and brakes all bleed.., Have got a relay for fuel Pump wired up.. sorta.

 

Need to know what i can tap into for when i switch the key to "on" the pump runs.. the relay is near battery as its a Fuse type one. so i need to tap into a "on" wire somewhere in the engine bay, and the earth is pretty simple.

 

Also, is there anything wrong with having a thermo fan on all the time while car running?

I don't think they are designed to run constantly. Anyway I have a thermo fan on my weekend ke20 with the 5k motor and I have hooked the fan up to a toogle switch, and mainly turn it on when driving slowly, especially through town and stopping at traffic lights etc. :)

When I'm on the open road I hardly ever use it. :yes:

[Falken_KE30]

Yeah was thinking on doing that... Did you hook the fan and switch upto a relay?

:D YaY. Sounds pretty mean too.

[Falken_KE30]

yeah i know... is rather lumpy.. not sure if its a stock cam, or a slightly lumpy one.. i know it does need a tune, and i need to advance the timing more i think.

 

Either way its awesome!!! have to adjust the clutch i think, we i put pedal down 3/4 way its disengaged completly, but if i put pedal to floor it whines really bad.. but the whine gooes away if i only go 3/4 of the way.. the clutch still grabs and works fine though as you can see.

......... and the earth is pretty simple.

 

:wink: :D

[Falken_KE30]

shut up SI.... i know the pump stopped cause my earth was bad.... (insert sticking finger up here ) :D o wait there is one HAHA..

[Taz_Rx]

:wink:

 

Once you learn the importance of a decent earth, you won't forget it in a hurry.

 

Electrical current (and sufficient sized wiring and earthing) is just like putting a set of side draft webers and a ported head on a motor with a stock exhaust manifold. There's no point in having a 'big mouth' - (fat wire etc) if you don't have a sufficently sized sphincter!!!! :D

 

Speaking of which, how many earth straps do you have on the motor? at least 2?

[Falken_KE30]

1 i think.....

 

was going to add a second but forgot too
