    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    I have a 1990 integra and the 70A alternator is not cutting it anymore. Its a pain bc even with the big three and a decent batt. i cant run my amp @ 1ohm so what would be the best solution for my car? could mine be rebuilt? or which h/o alt should i buy.. i want one that is fairly affordable but not complete crap either. i seen a 220A powerbastard are those any good? I knw the good ones are iraggi and dc power but i believe they have to rebuild it. any suggestions? thanks

    Mechman, Talk to Matt he will give you an awesome alt for a decent price

    All I have to say, is that you can buy whatever Alt that you want, but BE CAREFUL.... you get what you pay for, i didnt believe it until it happened to me. I bought a DB Electrical alt off of Ebay, it was supposed to do 220 at max, 115 at idle. It went out on me twice in a months period. Come to find out it did 80 amps max, and i forgot the idle but, my volts without the Headunit on would dip into the 9's. I ordered a Mechman 270 for my car, which was more expensive but Does way more than it says, Now volts can stay around 14.8

    Maybe you should read before you try and look smart.. I have used other alts but wanted to step up to a 250 amp so i went with xs.. None of the other alts had issues like this, so other ones will work... Good try tho..

    Dude no need to be a major dick about it....... You misunderstood the point completely, the point is, if Nathan is trying to help out and you are fed up with it, then you have no need to be Very disappointed in anything. Things happen, not every alt comes out perfect, but you're right, i just try to look smart, good job, remember that next time when people try to help.......

    So basically what you're saying is that what you say is right and what they say is wrong? You're the master at knowing how alternators work and won't admit that there's a chance the people who made it know what the problem is and you don't?

    x2, not to bash on you man, but certain cars have had problems like this. For Example i can't remember the guy on here, but he bought a 260 from irragi, and he had the same kind of problem it wasnt performing well on his honda. He sent it back and was pretty mad about it, come to find out if he would have listened, he would have found out it had slippage wasn't getting a good grip across the new styler pulley, and he got a refund for an alt that actually bench tested like 40 to 50 amps more. If you dont get the slight problem taking care of, None of the alt companies alts will work properly
