Those who have eliminated the Generator Battery Control Module-How did you wire alt?
I have a 2005 LQ9 I am swapping in, the alternator has the main feed wire and a pigtail that has two wires coming out of it.
On of the two wires goes to the PCM
The other wire made it's way over to the Generator Battery Control Module. Since now that is gone I do not really know what I should do with this wire.
My understanding is that the Generator Battery Control Module tells the alternator how much juice it expects the car to need and gets it ready for increased loads. Since this will pretty much be a race car it doesn't need this function (and not that I am going to be able to tell any momentary decrease in idle due to a load with a big cam/loud exhaust).
Anyone have any definitive information concerning this Generator Battery Control Module and the 2 wire pigtail alternator wiring?
Thanks!

I fixed mine by installing an F-body alt' and wiring pin B & C to an ignition switched 12v source going through a 194 bulb.
Seriously, got tired of dealing w/ the 2 wire alt... not sure why they're such a pain.
