Looks right.

Here is a quick rundown or relay's, it's from the12volt.com :

SPDT Automotive Relays


SPDT Relay : (Single Pole Double Throw Relay) an electromagnetic switch, consist of a coil (terminals 85 & 86), 1 common terminal (30), 1 normally closed terminal (87a), and one normally open terminal (87).

When the coil of the relay is at rest (not energized), the common terminal (30) and the normally closed terminal (87a) have continuity. When the coil is energized, the common terminal (30) and the normally open terminal (87) have continuity.

The diagram below center shows the relay at rest, with the coil not energized. The diagram below right shows the relay with the coil energized. As you can see the coil is an electromagnet that causes the arm that is always connected to the common (30) to pivot when energized whereby contact is broken from the normally closed terminal (87a) and made with the normally open terminal (87).

When energizing the coil of a relay, polarity of the coil does not matter unless there is a diode across the coil. If a diode is not present, you may attach positive voltage to either terminal of the coil and negative voltage to the other, otherwise you must connect positive to the side of the coil that the cathode side (side with stripe) of the diode is connected and negative to side of the coil that the anode side of the diode is connected.

ok thanks, but I have no idea aboput the diode hehe,
lets make this simple enough for me
all I have is a ignited push start from Ignitedperformence.com (have no idea if it has diode inside)
2 fuse holder and fuses
wires 12guage or similar to my starter wire
and a relay.
is it ok to follow the above photo to wire my push start?

By the way, im I correct to say that the strarter wire is Black with white strip?
what will happen to my civic if I tap the push start at the wrong wire?

thanks for the help

I have info given by the product manufacturer (igniteperformance.com)
its totally deffernt
87 to push start
30 to ground
86 to starter wire
85 to 12 volts
Im totally confuse

Just this mornin I install the push start from Ignited (IgnitedPerformance.com) I followed all the instruction from Igninted website but sad to say it blew my 30amp fuse, good thing its the fuse not my car.

anyway I followed the pics above and it works
also thanks to 02exsilver for confirming it

86 to button 85 to ground 87 to starter wire 30 to positive.
by the way honda civic Ignition on Black with yellow stripwire
and Starter wire is Black with white strip wire
Thanks everybody

Sorry about not getting back sooner.... I've got PC issues.

The diode, it's useless in your case. It sounds like you did ok though.
How do you like it?

yea bro...how do you like it...i was thinking of installing one of those but i wasnt sure how hard it was..

 

[ersatz0906]

it was easy just follow the instruction from ignitedperformance.com except the 85,86,87 and 30 in the relay. and always use fuses like the diagram above.

very cool to start your car by pushing hehehe
