  1. They have been proven reliable @ 180bhp that's 2.5x stock power then on the other hand 4e and 4efte engines have blown up/let go at less power. Try it or don't...... there's only one way to find out.

    Just realised starlet have a plug not a small post. So one of the wires in the plug will be the battery bulb wire.

    And you won't get voltage over a fuse, both legs of a fuse are connected together so technically your just checking a short. You need to put one multimeter lead to earth and check both side of the fuse with the other lead. When checked and both side of the fuse you get the same reading on the multimeter you know that the fuse is ok if one side is showing a reading and the other shows nothing it is blown.

  3. I said 60/80/100amp as in it could be one of three sizes. Yours is 80amp so it's the 80amp one that will be the main live to the alt.

    If the battery light is going out it would suggest that the alt is charging. The way it works is fused live from fusebox to bulb on dash then from the other side of the Bulb to alt small post which is earth. The alt small post is only earth when not charging. When the alt starts to charge the small post goes live which turns the light out.

  4. I've just watched your video. You won't get any voltage out of an alternator that way. It needs a 12v power supply to energise the rotor (create magnetic feild) there will be a main live from the alt to the fuse box, where it goes into the fuse box it'll have a main fuse @ 60/80/100amp have you checked them plus the small energise wire will be fused. You need to have input to have an output.
