Thanx
Match your main fuse to your Alternator rating + about 5 or 10 amps... So if you've got a stock alternator, use a 60 amp... If you're running the S4 alt, use the 80 that the S4 fuse block comes with... Headlights shoulbe be 20 or 30...

I have done the fc fuse block swap into a few fb's its pretty EAZY and by far a better setup. you can get that kinda fuse and just remove the stock fuseable links and replace with the newer fuse. they fit like a glove. I have even installed a fc fuse block as a extra fuseblock on my b so i can have all the extra spots to hook up my airhorns, extra power outlets, foglights and such
Here you og! All the parts needed to do the conversion.
And the finished product! Had to cut a little of the factory mounting bracket, but it looks awesome.
I had a friend of mine at the local printshop make me a new screen label for the top showing all of the new values of the fuses and what they go to.
Here are your values:
EFan: 20amp
Headlights: 30amp
Main Fuse: 80amp I have an 80amp 2nd Gen Alternator
Retractors: 30amp
Computer: 30amp
Injectors: 40amp
One open one for expansion.
BTW,
The 2nd gen block is spoken for, and so is the second one, once I find it.
The aftermaket blocks are gold-plated, solid brass, and quite heavy.
They look to able to take a 2 guage input wire in any of 3 locations, and about a 6 guage output. They use standard LARGE size tube-style fuses (which are available in nice high amp-ratings)
I have an -SE so I need 5 fuses for the stock wiring. I'm going to need at least one more for the stereo/computer set-up I have planned, one for the amps... and probably one more for an alarm...
FYI: You can also use the older 323's if the FC is not available. 323 have 5 five fuses while the FC has 7. I use them on older RX since there the 323's is shorter and easier to hide in my pocket.
If anyone has a FC or 323 fuse box they're willing to part with PM me, I'd be quite grateful. I've got 2 "ghetto rigged" fusable links that I cobbled together with spade terminals and fusable links from Pep Boys, but I'd much rather get the conversion over with during the "spring tuneup".
