I need to know where the wires go on the relay for the water pump for the aftercooler. I read the instructions that Vortech had on their site and it is not clear what terminal number the following should go on the relay:

1. Wire that is tapped to the Heater Motor relay
2. Black wire to Ground

On the instructions it says that:

1.Water pump's positive wire goes into terminal #87
2. 12GA ring terminal with fuse attached to the positive side of the battery goes into terminal #30

So I need to know what terminal the first 2 goes into. I was on hold with Vortech while typing up this thread, and they said that:

1. Wire that is tapped to the Heater Motor relay goes into terminal #85
2. Black wire to Ground goes into terminal #86

Can someone confirm? Looks like the guy is unsure...

Thanks!

 

I do not know off hand but I followed the instructions only when I installed mine and it was fairly clear.

 

Its pretty clear if you had the wires preinstalled on the relay. It seems like when they ship it from the factory, the wires are already connected to the relay:

1. Attach the black wire from the supplied relay to a
suitable ground.

2. Attach an 18 Ga. insulated female slide connector
to the yellow wire attached to the supplied
relay. Route the yellow wire from the relay to the
power distribution box located in front of the battery. Following Fig. 12-g, route the wire up along the factory wires.

As you can see, they didnt specify what terminals on the relay they connect into because they shipped the relay with the wires already connected.

 

I can take a picture of mine if that helps you.

 

Wing, that would be great! Can you label which wire goes to where?

Thanks!

 

the termainal they refer to are numbered on the relay - look at the side and bottom of relay should be labeled

 

Tomorrow (saturday) I will be fixing my intake so I will do it then. I took a look at it yesterday but needed to unscrew it to get the pic.

 

Here I got to it tonight and took a couple of close ups I hope they help you.
Just go here:

There are 2 pics, click on them to make them larger. The red one on the top goes to the water pump.

 

Thanks Wing! That relay looks totally different from mine, but I got mine working using the connections i mentioned on my first post. Greatly appreciated!

 

Okay, ive wired mine and the pump works when its on ignition ON position, but once I start the car it turns off. Is that the way it should be? Does it turn on when it senses its getting hot through the heater motor relay?

Is the pump supposed to be on all the time?
