Default Megasquirt and fuel relays,

Right,

I can nearly see the light at the end of the dark tunnel my car build has been, my next hurdle is wiring in my megasquirt.

Have people use the original relay in its original position with wiring etc or have you made a new loom and used a new style relay.

And where have you put your ecu? i was going to be lazy and go in the glove box, but i might find the energy to mount it on the back of the glove box with an extender cable.

Cheers

Rob,

I just used a 30amp 4 pin relay, and used the normal fuel pump live feed and ignition live too, MS outputs are always ground switching.
My ECU is behind my clocks to the left a bit, probably more behind the heater vents now that I think about it, all wires ran through the speedo grommet, only thing I had to extend was the CPS wires.
