I have absolutely no idea. I want to say no, though, because the 08's don't have the oil controlled rocker profiles. You could figure it out fairly quickly, though, with a multimeter.

 

ummm question , maby i have the wrong kinda relay cause mine works backwords lol the light is on when no mivec then it turns off when its in lol. ahh i cant seem to find the right relay i thought the one i have would doit but i am one step further cause i want a red light when its off and a green when its on so all i have to do is find the relay and hook that one up to lol,,,

 

You need a relay that will turn on when no power is presented to the switch circuit. Most relays do the opposite.

 

Pretty cool idea. Props on the ingenuity!

 

Case fans run on 12V DC, or you can get a little less cooling and a LOT less noise by hooking them up between the red and yellow wires, which will give them 7V DC.


Or you can ditch the fans entirely and go watercooled like I did.


Uh, back on topic... Any 5-pin relay that has a normally-open pin and normally closed pin will work. Hook it up one way, the light will come on when MIVEC engages. Hook up the other way for the opposite result.

 

ok ill grab and MR76 from my work if anyone els is doing thing that would be the relay number from advanced auto, the mr76 comes with not tab if u want the tab get an MR78 relay ill grab one any try it if it works ill show u they way i did it. thx otter

 

yea i have also been trying to find a relay but i dont want to get the wrong one otter which one did u get from Radioshack

 

some one from NC needs to start on this so I can come meet up with ya and we do it on my car. Im scared to death of wiring lol

 

I never found a relay that didn't start buzzing on me, though I haven't really looked that hard, either. The light hasn't been hooked up for awhile because of this.

As for the right relay, just walk into a radio shack and look into their 12v relay bin. You want a relay that gives you the option to have it turn on either with or without power (it'll have 5 pins). They'll have many for you to choose from.

 

i have looked and asked but they say that they dont know what im talkin about i call them retarded u have a pic of this thing

 

People who work there are idiots and they're trained to sell phones, not electrical components. There's nothing to really take a picture of, it's a relay with 5 pins. It won't be attached to a circuit board like the one in my picture.

 

otter is right radioshack ppl are dumb, but like i said the GP Sorenson relay MR78 or 76 depending if u want a bracket on it or not these do have 5 connectors but i tryed it i dont think it works but i think its the right kind ill try it again tomarrow.

You can find them at Advanced auto or, auto zone or what ever auto parts store u have around you they can cross the relay number

 

yea let us know how you made out

 

so otter what do you think the light would do that fore cause i feel more power when the light goes back on like a jolt of power but why would mivec turn back off < LOw oil?? but i just changed it) i know i have been having some probs with my maf i think but i wont know unti li get a new one

oyea i can here a almost turbo sound in my car then when mivec kicks it it dos away but then comes back at higher rpm. so otter ???? heh

 

I'm not sure what's going on with how you set yours up, but I'd disconnect your relay and return everything to stock to make sure something isn't wrong with your oil control valve.
