Smile One for TT perhaps

As some of you know, I am fitting a 1.8 Zetec engine in my build.

Just for the challenge I would like to get it up & running by using the stock Ford EEC IV ECU

If all goes pear shaped, I do have both MJ & MS at my disposal & ready to go

Anyhow, to the point of this thread

Does anyone know the size of the Zetecs Fuel pump relay & will it fit into one of these relay holders ??

CBS Relay holder

I don't want to use the Sierras fuse box due to the sheer bulk of the thing.

Already sorted a nice fuse holder & would like to keep my relays tidy & all in the same place

The flasher relay will be too big but that can live under the steering column shroud as it did on the Sierra

Kicking myself that I did not give the fuel pump relay a thought when I removed the engine from the Escort donor

My zetec is running on a standard BLOB ecu (non PATS), using a fiesta wiring loom.

I used a 40amp relay for the fuel pump and another one for the ignition.

Thank's David

Are the relays that you are using just the standard size 40a units.

Just wasn't sure wether the Pump relay was an exotic one & bulkier than usual

That was my thinking behind the CBS relay holder Ignition, fuel pump, rad fan & lights.
That would take care of all the relays I would need & will keep things nice and tidy

Just a standard 40amp one off ebay i got.

Just a side note.. the signal from the ecu to the fuel pump relay is the earth. (it switches the earth to control the relay, instead of the 12v+)

Cheer's for the heads up on that one David

That one would have almost certainly caught me out

Just need to get back into the workshop & get the engine fitted back in

And just to make your day Ronnie, the flasher unit can be replaced with a short one from an Escort etc to match the other relays, no difference at all!

I knew that

It'll be nice to keep them all in the same place.

Thanks for that Dennis
