Wiring for coils/battery.



Is the white/red the positive battery wire?

Power source for coils, right?

I dunno either https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif ....i know white red is battery.......Are you going to run Premix?

Yeah I'm running premix. 89Rag was helping me, we both determined the White/Red to be the battery positive wire. I had planned on hooking my laptop up to the Haltech today but I kinda ran out of time. Maybe tomorrow.



The battery is in place and all the leads terminated. The turbo/mani/dp is all bolted and secured. My wideband is attached as well as my EGT. I need to make sure the starter is wired correctly and then figure out the alternator and maybe I can start it! I do need to go back to NOPI though. I picked up an ignition wire kit (MSD) for an FD and they are not long enough!



Here are pics for the alternator connection...I think anyway. IIRC and if I can read the wiring diagram right, one of these connectors is where the stock alternator hooked in place.

According to this site, I should hook the white/black wire coming from the new alternator to the black/white wire in the engine harness. The white/blue wire should be connected to a constant power source.



Does this sound correct to anyone else? Could I just run my own wire to the positive terminal on the battery using a 30 amp fuse?

How come you're not using a different waterpump/neck?



That way it can bolt up and line up like stock.

I don't know, didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal.



Am I right in my alternator assumptions?

For the water pump neck, you could simply cut the elbow off, rotate it 180 degrees, and weld it back together
