In my reply in your other thread I have previously explained what you need to do to wire in a later type alternator.

Re: Wiring diagram

Yes you need to remove the external reg and then connect some of the wires from that plug to the connection on the back of the alternator as I explained in my last reply. If you aren’t sure how to do what I explained in my last post then maybe it would be best to get help from an auto electrician or...

Re: Will SJ samurai jimny brakes lines

Vin starting VSE = Spanish
JSA= jap

Re: Coiled turqoise samurai 16v

I don’t think the VSS makes a big difference to the performance, I just found it made it a bit smoother, unless it was all in my head. More importantly though you will constantly have a check engine light if the VSS isn’t hooked up. It shouldn’t be too hard to swap in a jap cluster, just be mindful ...

Re: Wiring diagram

You’ll just need to wire up the thick white wire to the + stud as usual. IIRC the later jap ones have a type 1 style plug so White-red that goes to the voltage reg is the warning light hook that up to L And Black-white to IG IMG_7924.jpeg The other wires aren’t needed. Make sure the white at the old...

Re: Wiring diagram

The lj80 wiring diagram might work for what you need, they share the same alt and external voltage regulator.

You could always convert it to run the newer alternator with an internal regulator.

Re: KJA cut n shut

Very tidy!

I’ve got a love hate relationship with KJAs, they look ace but I don’t fit in them so I could never buy one 🤣

Re: Knuckle oil seal bolts

Normal bolts will squash the wiper seals and reduce the effectiveness of the seal imo.

I’ll throw a load in the box of bits I’m putting together for you. I’ve got hundreds of them
