I am looking for the part numbers for the 14 or 16 pin connectors necessary when you remove the 4 cylinder engine bay relay board when doing a six conversion. I will be iinstalling an internally regulated alternator. Someone told me it was a 928 part that you could buy from Zims who advertises in the Porsche Pano.

You may know this, but in addition to the VR, the relay board holds the relays for the heater blower fan, fuel pump, rear window defroster and a central main power relay that provides power to the other three relays, which is fused with a 25A fuse also on the board. An 8A fuseholder on the board supplies power to the rear window defroster.
If you have otherwise routed wires or deleted the rear window defroster, fuel pump, heater fan, and figured out the VR, then the relay board can be deleted. But its a fair bit of work to do it and you should remove the ignition harness and probably the alternator harness from the car to do the connector install. The 14-pin connector with male pins is available new from Patrick Motor Sports...its about $60. You can mount it to your ignition harness to mate with the 14-pin female connector at the front edge of the relay board. Another thing to figure out is the circuit that is on the relay board (that you will lose if deleting the board) that connects the VR to the alt indicator light on the dash. Study the relay board circuits to find it. |
