Alternator Power Wire
I am pretty sure I already have this figured out but wanted to ask some input anyways. While I have the car all apart I plan on upgrading my power wiring from the Alternator to the battery because I am planning on a high output upgrade down the road. I plan on using 4 AWG wiring on both sides of the circuit but was wondering about the fusible links.
I am completely removing the factory wiring due to oxidation and sheathing deterioration. I am planning on replacing the fusible link with an inline fuse (AGU or ANL have several holders sitting around from past stereo projects). My question is what is the current rating for the dual 18 AWG fusible link?
I'm planning on putting in a 130-135A fuse inline and will swap it out when I finally install the larger 200A alternator but want make sure I stay within the range of the factory fusible links while using the factory alternator.
Now before anyone tells me I shouldn't remove the fusible links I have done this before without frying things. I know they are slower blowing than most fuses but I do not want to solder these inline w/the 4 AWG power wiring.
