So who knows how to convert the fusable link ratings (1.25 sq, 0.3 sq, etc...) to amps? Nothing found on the search, but lots of people have done it.

I'm doing the FC fuse block conversion and want to know for sure that I'm connecting to the right amp rating--of course I could just guestimate--if I must.

Thanks, Scott

 

could you enlighten me on what this will do? actually, what exactly are you talking about? HAHAHA, is this worth effort?

i dont really know but when I converted to the 2nd gen box, the main remain as 80amps but for the two healights, I just replaced it with 15 amps from autozone.

 

the headlight retractors are 30A, the headlight one is 30a, and the main is 80amp

 

Thanks for the info guys.

Scott

 

anytime

 

My fusible links were dead, so while I was at rx7heaven I asked if they had any. He just pulled out a box and handed me three of the big ones (I'd assume 80amp) and said there, use those. When I asked if it mattered, he said it wouldn't.

Was he shittin me?

they'll work, but your headlight motors and headlights, and their respective wiring will burn out now, faster than the fusible links will... which could potentially cause a fire is there's a short anywhere ever...

fusible links are just like fuses... they protect wiring and electrical devices from damage should there be too much energy put through them (amperage). Don't mess with the ratings... that's like putting a 20A fuse where there should be a 5A for the radio or whatever...

That's right! The fusable links are the "weakest" link in the circuit--by design. That way the link burns out and not your wiring or component.
