[dr1ft-pig]

hey alll have just installed a 16v 4age into a ke70 with twin 40 mm webbers..... anyway i need to know how to wire the 16v alternator into the ke70 loom as the 4k alternator has 1 pin and the 16v one has 3 pins...... anyone know how to get around this???? i have heard u splice a wire and only use2 terminals of the 16v alternator..... any help would be arrpeciated... pic would be awesome aswell cheers guys

out of the 4AGE alternator you should have a

white
yellow
red with blue

and the thick B+ battery cable also white

on the KE70 you have the 2 plug connector

white (thick)
yellow

i used the original KE70 plug to neaten things up (loom side) not alternator plug.

thick white off the alternator to thick white at KE70 plug

i stripped back the thin white wire and spliced and soldered it to the thick white one. this is a 12v reference signal so its fine to be linked with this wire as it alwys has power.

the red and blue wire on the alternator side joins to the yellow and white wire on the KE70 plug side. this is a 12v ignition signal used to turn the alternator charge light on when the ignition is turned on. when the alternator starts charging it turns off.

the yellow wire i wired to an external ignitioon signal. i used the original ke70 coil positive as it is ignition switched and is neat enough. it is located near the battery, you'll find it.

thats how i wired mine and it works sweet

i'd put a pic of the wiring but its using different colour wires to extend the loom as i only had the alternator plug. add to that i'd have to unwrap it as well and ithink the above description explains it well enough.

oki have tried this and the plug that i have that comes from the 4age alternator has (looking from where the wires enter the back of the plug)
i have a white (top closest to clip) a black (left) and a blue wire (right), and i also have a wire that came from the other direction which is red and has the terminal on it to bolt to the back of the alternator,also the white wire that comes out of the plug has the same terminalon italso....and where i have cut the loom to get this plug the black wire that comes from the plug stopps and ha sbeen joined to a red wire that is a littlebit thinner....

any ideas gilly lol
