Hey everyone,
I am finally getting the wiring wrapped up on my build and very much looking forward to the first start of my m52 turbo swap. I have a question regarding the blue wire that goes to the alternator to excite the coil to get it charging. I am not running the stock dash at all, and have opted for a raspberry pi dash setup since I am running megasquirt.
From my understanding, the blue wire coming out of the dash that also goes through the c101 is needed to make sure the alternator actually starts charging the car. Is it essentially a 12v wire, or am I missing something? Could I just hook it up to a switched/ignition 12v source, or do I need to do something special to it?
Thanks in advance, all the help making the car run sooner makes the wife happy as it's getting all the parts out of the house, lol...
