Long story short , I asked KB electronics to make an alternator voltage booster fuse replacement .

They want to know why this fuse is 10a as in what else is wired into the alternator sense circuit that needs it .

All I know is that this fuse is in the back fuse box near the battery .

Any help appreciated , cheers Adrian .

Fair enough , I'll get back to Leigh at HKB electronics and mention this .

BTW I've just fitted the 140a LS1 Mitsy alternator and the voltage at idle can still fall below 14v , I believe this is due to alternator voltage compensation at running temps . I've watched the idle voltage drop and rise sitting at lights and driving along in warm weather .

Ideally I want about 14.7v cold and around 14.3 at running temp . Its actually interesting to read what's happened over the last 20 years with alternator voltage regulation . Voltage deliberately reduced to drop idle load emissions and fuel consumption . One mob reckons some cars are deliberately regulated low which reduces battery voltage and then alternator voltage ramped up to around 15v under extended braking to - emulate a regen brake .

Anyway I want what keep my battery right up and 14+ into coils injectors and fuel pumps won't hurt either .

Thanks and cheers from Adrian .

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
