Well, I got it running. But I have no alternator. So I'm curious as to if anyone can put any pictures up. Because I cannot figure out what I'm missing.

also any info on the tach. I spliced into the yellow red that the diagram said, but Is there any way to t it off at the coil, or anything else of the sort.

Any help to get this thing going, It's the last stages

okay dawg check it,


first off did you plug in the alt.... there should be the plug (u need to get it off a s13 chassis harness)


theres a ground, and power.


u need em connected




tach wise eh. i dont have a tach, i asked the same question


here, i started this thread. if you find out, or have anymore questions post there

on congrats on starting the engine! does yours make a anoyying lifter ticking noise?

Nope, Video is on my build page

Also, I could not find that plug. I figured as much. But the owner before the last did some very interesting things with wiring. Which messed me up a little bit. But i never did think to check the ground. First thing tomorrow!

OH! and btw. 10w-40 makes that noise go away

Correction.

The alternator charges. I just hafta rev it to what I'm guessing is 2000 ish RPM. Then it decides to charge.

That's a kind of a late start IMO, I might not even hit that on a daily drive. I know some alternators out there need to be excited before they can charge. But I didn't know that these followed that procedure, if they do.

Any Ideas? or think it's normal

what? you cant even pass 30 mph without going past 2k rpm

most of my driving is 25.

Could just be a bad alt

wtf the connector is not for 12+ and ground

1 wire is for the cluster for the brake/volt dummy light to come on when the alt shits out

the other wire is a constant 12v+ for the alt to know what the source power is, it doesnt charge the battery through this wire though.

then of course theres the big 12v+ lead and the ground lead
