I deleted my alternator (wire, tin, bolts, nuts, brackets, etc) and saved 18 pounds!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
Now I want to delete the relay board. But I need to know how to wire the starter in. I know I'll need some sort of voltage regulator or relay in the starter circuit. What have the others of you done? Thanks, Paul |

You don't need a regulator for the starter. The voltage regulator is normally there to "throttle" the output of the alternator which would otherwise produce wildly varying voltages as your engine rpm's vary. As far as the starter circuit goes, it merely goes in one connector and out another. If you jumper pin 1 of the 14 pin connector to pin 6 of the 12 pin connector, your starter should work. Both the wires of the pins mentioned should be yellow in color.
