The relay in the 3rd pic looks like a hot start relay. You should be able to connect the FI wiring and a hot to the coil and ECU and it should start. You don't need the relay board.

you will then be running off pure battery with no alternator....keep that in mind.

hand impact screwdriver will back those puppys out like butter. If you don't have one, you need one.
