Yes i had wired it correctly to begin with. However it hasn't solved my charging problem because i still only get 13.56V out of my alternator. The Four track i tested also only charged at 13.86V . I'm not sure if they are just low output alternators on fourtraks or the alternator is wearing...

Update on the alternator wiring! Luckily i had a Fourtrack come into work for some welding, so i pinned out the regulator box and now am happy that my wiring is correct. This wiring diagram shows how to wire up a fourtrack regulator box Wire colours as follows: white = 12V Battery Live...

Modifications for fitting this engine include: N/s Footwell removal Re-alinement of the Slave cylinder pipe

Nice one i totally agree, i need to eliminate the reg. and just see how much power the Alternator is throwing out. I shall do this next, but reckon the alternator is probably ok. Good advice man!

No, pulleys are all standard OEM daihatsu components, apart from the PS pump, but that is on a seperate belt to the alternator. More likely i have wired the External regulator incorrectly, or the external regulator is faulty. I have another reg. but i'm not fitting that until i know the reg...

Replaced the clutch pipe in a more suitable position ready for the exhaust pipe run.

Yes it is here: http://www.bmhor.org/fourtrak/charging%20system%206MB.pdf But it does not show the wire colours or multiplug arrangements, thats why i tired to make my own diagram to include the colours and plugs.

Ok i wired it up as per my diagram, but it isn't correct, i'm not getting 14.2V like i want. Battery light is on with IGN and goes out when started, and below are the recorded voltages. Battery Voltage = 12.87V Running Voltage = 13.52V Loaded Voltage = 13.52V It seems it will charge, but...

I'ved tried to make a wiring diagram, I'm not 100% that this is correct, so dont try it at home!! I'm going to try this in the morning, Someone please advise me if this is incorrect, so i dont blow the reg.

Right got to the main hassle of fitting this engine! That is wiring the alternator, because it has an external regulator there are six wires that need to be wired up in order for it to operate correctly. Three of the wires connect to the alternator , i,e, Field, rotor and earth. the big fat...

stuck it in today with the minimum of hassle. Bit of chopping the N/s footwell New release bearing Engine ready Engine in cut just enough out for the exhaust downpipe. Will have to re-route the clutch pipe a little in order for the exhaust to fit.

:clap2:

Remove your PCV pipe from the air filter and see if it still does the same!

Bleed screws break for two reasons, 1, cause the material is fatigued through all the heat cycles they have to endure over time or 2. the same as point 1, but the engine is overheating for some reason causing excessive pressure in the system which could cause the bleed screw to break. Not...

Yeah i hope so, looks new, unless someone just painted it up! It was already fitted when i bought the landy. :)

These wheels are now Sold! Thanks
