Custom DIY Relay Board - Automotive 12 Volts | Turbo Civic With Stand-Alone ECU

- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- In this video, we make a custom "do it yourself" 12v relay board for our turbo Honda Civic.
We use universal 12-volt automotive relays and a plastic tray to make a DIY custom-size 6 relay board to help us control the outputs from the car and stand-alone ECU.
The relay board controls the starter signal, wideband gauge, cooling fan, vtec, and engine power (coil/speed sensor) with 1 relay as a spare in case we need to add something in the future.
This is a great way to clean up your car's wiring, eliminate electrical gremlins and add functions to your modified car.
Automotive wiring can be challenging to work with, however, the relay board is a fairly easy modification to do.

This is awesome, thank you for making this video. I want to learn to wire myself and you explained it all so well.
Hi Infinite, thanks, Glad it was helpful!
Wiring tends to go over my head. But enjoyable to watch. Very neat work!
Thanks Jason, yeah wiring can be complicated, I personally don't like it, however it is very expensive if you have to pay someone for a custom loom and relay board, so I had to do it myself.
@@RisingBoostYT definitely! You made a rywire harness for a fraction of the price! Shows it can be done with some thought and patience. New tool makes crimping a breeze
Here weeee goooo!!! miss you boost!!!
Glad you still here No Limit!
always brother!
A heat gun is nice for shrinking. I do keep a torch lighter as a backup.
Hi Jeff, yes a heat gun works much better, the lighter make the heat shrink go black if you hold it too long, I think I was just being lazy.
If I wanna do that set up I don’t need to have my original fuse box or anything of the harness inside the car beside just to engine harness that goes to the ECU
The board I made was only for the engine harness as I am using an aftermarket standalone ECU. The fuse box, chassis, and dash harness are all still in place and functional.
Do you perhaps have a pinout of the 3X Dicktator?
Hi bud, check the dicktator website they have them available for download there. Make sure it's the Website ending in co.za
Yo bud, does your dump valve stay open at idle? I got the same one, but even if I adjust it, it stays open at idle/vacuum?
Hi Brandon, no mine does not say open, if I set it loose it will open very easily but almost all the way in it will stay closed and boost will flutter out the turbo, waste gate won't open at all.
@@RisingBoostYT Good to know, I have adjusted it almost closed and I get turbo flutter which is not good, I hear yours gets the same turbo flutter. Issue is, when it's open at idle, I get very high IAT's when the fan kicks on...obviously, so I'm thinking of finding a stronger spring for the piston. I'll play around with it.
@@smoothscott123 that's odd, mine definitely don't stay open. I know the flutter is bad but I like it, I adjust it to flutter for like 0.2 bar, if I boost over that the dump valve will open.
Did you rewire your car to us this panel.
Hi Eric, Yes, I replaced the factory ECU with a basic stand-alone ECU so all the engine functions now run to this replay panel. chassis functions like lights still use the OEM wiring and replays.
