Hi guys, I have a R33 Skyline. I will be installing a Link G4+ ECU. I was wondering what the best way to wire in the CAN Lambda sensor is? Link recommend it to be ran from its own separate relay so its a "no noise" power supply.

How would I go about doing this, would I need to find an oem relay and relay holder and then wire it up from there, I'd prefer not to since I'd have a singular wire running over the engine bay.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Blake, I believe I answered this specific question when you asked it in our webinar however I'll cover it again. You could run a separate relay that is triggered by the ECU power relay and supply power from here to the CAN-Lambda. that's not overly difficult to do though and you should have no real trouble making that neat and tidy. Personally I've had no trouble sharing a power feed from an existing relay that is up to the task. You need to keep in mind that the CAN-Lambda can draw a reasonable amount of current (7-8 amps) when the sensor is cold but current draw will be minimal when it's running.

Hi Andre, you are correct you answered it in the webinar I was hoping someone else may know if there is a way to run a oem relay in the fuse box. I can source a oem replacement relay but not a relay holder, think I can take one from a wrecked Skyline though.

Using the ECCS relay I think would also work, I'm unsure what's the best way to splice into it being power for ecu its fairly important. In the course it shows splice connections, would that be the best option here?

Thank you.

If you want to splice into an existing wire I would suggest an open barrel splice and some SCL heat shrink over the top to protect the splice.
