Usually alternator power wire runs into the factory fuse box, through a fuse, to the battery positive. It might do some other weird stuff along the way, I don't ever deal with whats inside the fuse box on an S14 (I know yours is s13 so I'm not sure what all is different there). I can't even get the thing open to be honest. It LOOKS like it just pulls apart but everytime I've tried its stumped me.

Anyways...

My solution for you is simply revert all wires back to original. Get a complete uncut harness from another member for the same exact year vehicle. Do the chassis harness first of course. The engine harness is easy cake, don't even sweat that for now.

It should look something like this
1. alt + to fuse box
2. Battery to starter (You should put a 120-170 amp fuse in this if relocated to the rear)
3. fuse box to starter (smaller starter wire is start 12v from ignition switch)
4. Battery to fuse box (for all the in-car lights and stuff)

Alternators and ignition switches can act funny if you screw with the wiring. The alt's 12v output can keep the engine running if the 12v is supplied improperly. You should be able to take the battery out of the car with the engine still running, and you should still be able to turn off the engine with the key.
