relay/fuse thingy...and who says ford/holden have nothing to contribute.. Thu, 04 November 2004 03:43 Go to next message
am rewiring car for EFI, needed a compact fuse/relay assembly as my car never had relays and barely had fuses Laughing
could have gone DENSO relays, but i prefer the Bosch style as they are available anywhere, and P&B are top notch for high power ratings.

anyway, details:
ford laser KB? fuse panel from inside car, near steering wheel.
relays are from VL commodore. the black mounting things were cut from the sides of the VL's original relay box (size of an airbox!!) and then bolted to an alloy channel.

this all then bolts into the engine bay with short runs of 60 amp power cable to battery...

How big is your thermo?

I'm using some funky Nissan twin coil relay from an S13 to control my thermo's.

It has one switch and 2 inputs/outputs, with fairly chunky wires.

Saved me using 2 relays.

thermo is only a 12" davies craig.. maybe pulling 10-11amps?

i'd thought about using twin relays, but i want each circuit seperate and accountable... so when the Megasquirt goes in, i can easily chase down any probs and isolate circuits..

i hope Wink

Haha, we can all hope.

I use the twin relay to control 2 thermo's, so they are both on, or both off.
