Tarball Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Getting started on my S10, will be a slow build due to budgeting limits but I'm starting with the Alt.It's a 2.2l s10 so the stocker has to go and there aren't aftermarket bolt ons that have good idle output...so I'm adapting a DC Power 270 SP.It's tight and not much room to work with (the alt is friggin heavy compared to stock !! )I built an extension bracket out of 1/4" steel and just ground it down 'till it fit. It was a bitch getting the top bolt started by myself 'cause I had to hold it in place and sneak the bolt in from the back at the same time.Here are the pics of my progress so far.

I kno first hand how hard it is to change them alts... they suck. lol Yeah, they really should have put a little more effort into making the standard 4.3 alt bolt up to the 2.2. Plan is 2 15" RE MTs - cut-through - on a Soundstream XXX 4000d - 14vbats/16v charging Plans may change though...regardless of the end system I need a beefy electrical foundation CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.

Tarball Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just curious why you would make a bracket instead of getting a mechman 270a made for the 2.2l? Didn't know they made one for the s10 and if it bolt right up I doubt its a beefy as this one. There just isnt enough space in the stock location for a large alternator. What does a mechman 270 made for a 2.2l s10 do at idle? **edited for spelling CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal.

Not sure what the specs were on that dc power. 185ish @ idle are you sure that mechman would bolt into the stock location on a 2nd gen 2.2l s10 ? What alt casing do they use?
