Hi there.
I'm rewiring my car (1992 Civic EG K20). I'm following this wiring diagram http://www.hondata.com/images/k20awiring.gif
I'm not going to use the EG main relay but i have encounter a problem. The EG main relay has built-in diodes for voltage supression ECU protection.
Must i use diode protected relays? or i can use standart ones as seen at the above wiring diagram. I also have the same question for the Rad fan relay also switched by the ECU.
Thanks in advance.
What type of relay?

Re: What type of relay?
It would be best to use the same type of relays used by the original manufacturer. They used what they used for a very good reason.

Re: What type of relay?
The problem was i couldn't find diode protected relays but finally i've found them. OEM Main relay uses this type of reverse voltage suppression so i think the can do the trick.
The rad fan relay in my EG under-hood relay box uses a resistor for the same reason but i think it can be replaced with a diode protected one. But if there is any reason to do not use them please let me know. I haven't started the wiring yet.
Thanks in advance.
