help with external fuel pump

[hozer]

Switch is good secuirty measure, get out, flip the switch and car will not start. Just make sure its not anywhere near a place where it can accidentaly be flipped.

Don't have one for this reason. If a thief wants your car bad enough, he's going to take it.

8 gauge wire? holy shietz, that size is good for 45amps @115 volts haha

You're wasting money and weight with that wire size friend.

22 5A 5A

hozer im taking about number 87. i have to tie the relay into something like kthe fuel pump fuse or the igntion fuse. and speeddm never heard of diy? its a learning process. im not ghetto wiring this up and firing it up. im working on it at my mechanics shop. he is soddering all the wires and double checking everything. thanks for the vote of confidence

Ahh kk, tie it into an acc power line (lights, 12v, fan...) Anything that kicks in when you turn the key to the acc position, which includes the original fuel pump fuse.

gtrjon thats great. My reply was based on reading your questions. not on assuming that your mechanic friend is going to check it over for you. It didn't seem like you were getting it. Sorry wasn't trying to be a ****. I was trying to make sure your car doesn't go up in flames. If you want to simplify it and run less wiring overall run you relay negative switched.

Was going to pm you, but hozer pretty much answered it.

Nice copy/past diagram for the relay haha. And the way it's says "MUST be wired" is not true. You can wire that up differently to do different tricks

[gtrjon]

thanks for all the help guys the wiring is now complete! well see if it works when i start the car this weekend :P
