I am doing the big 3 upgrade on my TSX and wanted to make sure I am identifying the + lead on the alternator correctly in the picture below.



Thanks for any and all help.

bump ^^

 

didn't want to start a new thread about this...and it doesn't look like seanberrys been on since dec. but maybe someone else can answer this

anyone have luck doing the Alternator to Battery +?
it's right here on the picture, but i don't have a clue as to how to get to it. and i was told not to break off that black plastic piece

 

isn't there a nut on top that you can just take off? i think the black piece is there to hold the wire in a certain position. i remember doing this to my integra and it had a black piece like that but was smaller. i'll take a look at my alternator when i have time.

 

the nut is that shiny piece just to the right of the black piece. not even my smallest wrench can fit there. Also i talked to someone on tsx site, they said 0ga terminal isn't gonna fit :\, but it is possible to ADD a 4ga to it. but the "how" was not disclosed.

btw just added a 0ga to my battery - ground, i went idle 12.0v to 12.6v!
i just added it under it since I didn't have any self tapping screws, also my damn battery terminal i got doesn't fit 0ga ring terminal even though it says it does

 

Probably gonna change the battery terminal in the future, the one I got from Partsexpress.com says they fit 0ga, but it's like 2cm too small to fit it :\

side by side with stock

gonna be upgrading that chassis to engine ground soon, need some more ring terminals!


and a little update

bottom 2 amps arn't mounted yet, still running wires, just there to giev you an idea how it'll look. only wire you'll really be able to see is the ground, since that was the onl yway for me to keep it as short as possible

 

looks good. i also have just the negative battery ground right now. that block to chassis ground looks hard to get to.
