 |
|
Hey guys,
Just got myself an alternator off a vs, i'll be able to rig it up to fit and change the pully etc, but i'm lost in terms of the wiring??
I know that the vs alt has an internal regulator, so i dunno what to do? Should i bypass the original gemini regulator (near the battery?) or somehow disable the regulator in the vs alt?
I'm assuming the only other change should be the wires from the + terminal on my old alt (Dont have any wires going to the other terminal??) should go to the terminal on the vs that says b+? Plus the vs one has a connector for a plug with 2 pins, and my old alt has been rewired and has a plug with olnly 2 pins too (Should be 3??)
anyway, any help is needed for the regulator, thanks guys

| so to get rid of the gem regulator is it just as easy as unplugging it? or does it require re wiring? |

| Needs rewiring... things like the fuel pump n shit run off that regulator... I would take it to an auto elec coz if you stuff it up you could have a nice exploding battery or an equally cool car fire |
