I had the same issue when I did my NA to turbo conversion. I fixed it by getting rid of the fuel pump relay and spliced the FC wire (green/red) into the back of the Circuit Opening Relay as this is how the NAs run the fuel pump. This allows the pump to run at full capacity all the time.
Hi Deco,
The thing that has me stumped is the body harness is out of a gen 3 turbo and so is the dash wiring harness, so basically no n/a wiring besides the frunk harness and components.
I looked into bypassing the relay however I have a feeling that both issues are perhaps related. If worse comes to worse I don't mind bypassing the relay, and then look to sort the speedo issue later, however it would be more convenient for me to get any wiring related things sorted while I have the harnesses out and accessible.
The body harness previously had a few plugs up at the front kick panel demolished by my then teething puppy, so I used plugs from the n/a harness and pinned and soldered three plugs, basically going off the colors. I then thought I could have made an error, so I purchased another gen 3 turbo body harness, however the same symptoms persisted.
I now have the body harness and fuse box out and will do the fuel pump relay bypass mod as you have described.
So basically you splice into the FC just before the ecu, then again under the circuit open relay (both green and red) then you disconnect the relay itself from the plug and remove?
I'm not too great at reading wiring diagrams so bare with me and correct me if i am wrong.
would running the SPD (purple/white) wire from the ecu to the circuit open relay as well perhaps give it the power at the right time?
I don't pull any error codes via paperclip method and when bridging the diagnostic port of the fpr with a wire it runs fine, would it be a better option for me to run a wire from the fuel pump relay to the circuit open relay?
This is my second swap, my Dad and I swapped this gen 3 engine and turbo conversion into my late 1995 aus delivered gt, which we retained the n/a body loom. Didn't have the patience so hired and electrician and he basically ran his own fuel pump relay with 6 pins, 2 wired from the engine harness, 1 from the circuit open relay and a ground. My n/a cluster worked fine however the turbo cluster that came with the clip did not. Currently both clusters get power all warning lights and signals work however the speed and rpm do not seem to be.
My current train of thought is somewhere from the ecu to the kick panel the speed signal and fpr or circuit open relay wires are not meeting up right? Hoping it's just a case of wrong pin here or there, trying to pin point where is im currently at.
