RX leone turbo, where is the fuel pump relay?

Post by unheardofinstruments » Thu Jul 25, 2013 11:13 am

Just replaced the engine in my 86 model RX turbo MPFI with a jap import 60000klm front cut one I got from a rolled car. (I also have LOADS of extra parts from the car plus the entire front cut and a normal efi motor I had been fixing up to put in.)
I am not getting power at the fuel pump, looking for the fuel pump relay, manual says under the passenger side dash, don't see it there, subaru dealerships book says over the rhs strut tower, not there either, anyone have a clue? Thinking of just wiring it up permanently with new wires to the 12V line in the ignition switch so it runs all the time round and round instead. Any other reasons the thing wouldn't get power? I thought the fuel pressure regulator was purely mechanical, did run fine with the current loom/computer before.

If it has a flap type AFM, make sure it and the airbox is installed as normal.

in factory efi L Series like my 85 made 87 plated flapper style 3 plug ECU EA82T GLTA sedan,, drop the ecu from the steering column and above there are two relays fixed to the top side of the steering column, one is fuel pump relay, other is ? ignition relay
