What fuses to use in a 2nd Gen box for the GSL-SE?

Okay, I've searched for awhile to find my answer and amazingly, nothing. There was a post for the 12A models but none really for the GSL-SE 13B. I looked at my fusible links and even in the FSM but had no luck in finding my answer. Maybe someone on here knows the answer.

In order, from bottom to top, of the five fusible links, what amperage of fuses would I need for the 2nd Gen fuse box? And, for a bonus to me, in that same order (bottom to top), what is each fusible link responsible for (IGN, ALT, LIGHT, etc..) ?

Hey,

The first three fusible links are the same as the 12A cars. The 2nd 2 are for the ECU and injectors. Here is a pic (Thanks to Max):



I used a 2nd gen fusebox and used the same values as the 2nd gen. I used:

30A ECU
40A Injectors
80A main
30A headlights
30A retractor

Kent

EDIT: To be clear, I used the actual 2nd gen fusebox and fuses. You can plug most fuses in directly like darkfrost's write-up. However, the larger fuses (80A for instance) are different than the smaller values and will not plug in the 1st gen fusible link blocks. If you are doing like darkfrost, just use a 60A main or whatever the closest you can get in that style.

Thanks. I saw the same writing on the side of my fusible links but didn't see anywhere that claimed amps. From looking at that picture, I can see what fuses go to what. That helps a lot. Now, all I need to do is wire the S.O.B. up.
