The Alternator Wire goes thru the big fuse box connector, It doesn't need to be extended. The mail big charge wire is the only one to extend.

What do you mean it goes through the big fuse box connector, which wire is that? Are you referring to the same wire as I am, the I believe 1 gauge wire that bolts to the alt? The one that I'm referring to is the black wire that bolts to the alt. itself.

Well I began the wiring today, I didn't get near as much done as I hoped and I'm still kind of skeptical off all the fusebox wiring, but it is done I just have to solder everything together with a better gun cuz mines a POS:nono:. But heres some pics and descriptions of everything I did, if somethings wrong please tell me or if something could of been easier input would be great:icon_bigg!

Well to get started the 7M fuse box, and connections underneath same as the 1J..

I don't have a pic but the first thing I did was disconnect everything and pop out the section with the alt. fusible link. I replaced it with the 100A alt. fuse, and then pulled back all the wires to be able to trace where everything was going.

I then got rid of all the un needed wires and laid the EA2 connector out with it's respective wires.

I then cut the 7M alt. plug off and joined the corresponding wires from the EA2 connector to those wires.

I then cut the 7M fusebox connector off for it to be replaced with the EA2 connector and joined those corresponding wires to be soldered.

And from all my reading and understanding that's all I just need to solder everything together now and it'll be 100% done. O and I still need to extend the alt. wire to reach to the 1J's location.

But here is the test fit of the fusebox with the 1J igniter in place.

Will this be the same for an 89 supra?
Sorry to bump in.

Wow man,

The car is totally different since I had it!

Good luck with everything! Hope it turns out well.

Yeah I wasn't sure if I was going to go with the swap or built 7M but the 1J was definitely the way to go, it's been great other then the HGs but hey it was a 7M lol. But thanks, maybe once I get it all up and running ill take a drive for you to check it out.

looking HOT. you are making pretty quick progress. i honestly wouldnt get a Y-pipe quite yet, i would start investing in a single turbo setup :naughty::naughty:

Yeah it's going pretty quick with working 50hrs a week too. I was thinking of a single turbo but i think i have decided i may want to go with the twin gt28s:naughty: we'll see tho. For now it'll be stock twins for a while so i wanted to get rid of the restrictive stock y-pipe.

Also as stated a couple posts up I'm beginning to polish my IC/Intake pipes and intake mani. heres a taste of how everything looks.

This pipe as well as everything else is only at 400 grit, I still have a good amount to do but they are looking good I think.This is the one thing I've never done before so I thought I'd give it a shot while waiting for the y-pipe.
