Panic over, complete amateur hour here, all wired in correctly, but somewhere along the line the plug had come loose! Was on 11.5V before i got it working, then was charging at 13.5V. Couple of car based problems for me to sort, i have the fan on a manual switch and it isnt coming on, and my...

Ok, a bit odd. My alternator setup: The big battery terminal goes straight to my battery The yellow wire goes to my charge indicator lamp The black/red goes to a 10A fused 12V that switches on with the ignition The white goes to a permanent live For some reason im still getting no charge. Ive...

Its ok, if im coming from there i have 7.5A fused switched lives that come from the chassis. I was just hoping there might be something on the loom in the vicinity of the alternator that i could splice into as it saves me routing the wire all round the engine bay.

Yeah, im a little confused as i just have a permanent live going to the the permanent AND switched live on the alternator but it doesnt seem to be charging. I will just go through the arduous task of taking a wire from the footwell/ECU area and taking it all the way round to the alternator. With...

yellow, white and black/red

Ok, im having difficulty finding the switched live for my alternator. Can anyoe direct me towards a suitable one i can splice into on the alternator side of the engine? Thanks :)

Are these standard or uprated? Cheers

Oh, i get what a fuse does incidentally, it came across like i have no idea (which isnt always true lol), just wondering if it means it wouldnt work or maybe would just blow the fuse immediately.

Yeah, my thick wire goes to the battery just direct. Out of interest, whats the relevance of the ampage of the fuse it goes through? For example, what would the problem be if i ran the White wire to my 7.5A permanent live? I think the problem must be that the switched live is always live, but...

Just had a look at the car diagram. The yellow on the alternator, went to the charge warning lamp on the car. The only other wire i have available is a 7.5A errrm permanent live i think.

ok, on the alternator i have 3 wires. A yellow (this is already wired in to my car) and the 2 i have spliced together are white and black/red (or maybe red/black) Should this work or do i need to tweek the 2 wires that are spliced together?

Thats a good call, a bit safer than what i have now! Hmm ok, i seem to remember this with my old 1JZ conversion. I will get it up to temperature and try and drive it a few times then before diagnosing problems further. Though id have thought the idle thing would be unrelated.

Oh, i dont have a fuel computer. I have a hard wired switch to a 255l/hr fuel pump. This goes in on the passenger side and the return is on the drivers side.

I think i already have the diagram, its just the standard car had a 2 wire plug and the new one is 3 wires. I saw somewhere that they were bridged and it was ok, but now im thinking i need to source what i think will be a switched live or permanent live. It may not be learning as up until...

Errrm a yellow and something else. Id need to check. The afm worked ok in the lexus it came from, but may have taken a couple of knocks. Is there any way to check it? Also, sounds silly but for hood clearance my afm is on its side, would that have an effect? I should say im still to change the...

Ok, so i posted up in another thread but i have a few issues so it would be handy for me to have it all in one location. I have a 200sx with 1UZ running standard ECU. I have blocked the EGR, dont run secondary lambdas and i think thats pretty much it as far as modifying the electronics...

samsdad can u give a bit more detail on this please? thanks

Cool, just standard technique then. Im slowly eliminating all the little niggles im expecting with this car! Test drive on saturday hopefully. Will put up videos.

Hmmmm, well theres a couple of loops on the heater matrix that are the highest point, hmmmmm.

Oh, another question as ive filled it. Will the system self bleed or do i need to let air out of that bolt on top of the housing we are talking about?
