  6. Belt slip??

    in MechMan Alternators and 12v Accessories

    Posted

    the reason that company A has found a way to do it and company B either hasnt or doesnt feel it can live up to their standards. the companies you are referencing are reputable companies and are not going to produce something that doesnt live up to their standards.

    so are you saying Mechman & Excessive have higher standards then DC Power? Just curious at to your opinion

    Cody-

    The biggest we can go and still have it be durable, and make decent low RPM output is 160 amps. We sell that unit for $349, and it comes with a 2 year warranty.

    see that makes less sense because I got a different answer from Eric@ Mechman, in May 2011

    Hi Jonathan,

    We build a 220a unit for that car that produces 135a @ 700rpm, full output @

    1800rpm. $549 + shipping. It features our heavy duty rectifier and diodes,

    improved cooling, precision balanced rotor, premium NTN bearings, and comes

    with our one-year warranty and lifetime product support.

    Our AVBM adjustable voltage boost module is also included for this unit.

    It will require some minor clearancing of your factory bracket to install.

    Please reply to this email to insure your quote.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    It's not a question of which company is better...

    We are curious why dc power can make a 250 and 270 amp units for our cars 06-09 honda civic lx ex dx 1.8L 8th gen civic non si models.... BUT no other company can or does make bigger then a 225a, that's what makes me hesitant.. Mechman and Excessive amperage Both only make up to a 225a...

    I already have a 225a EA alt

    We were just trying to solve a debate

    Did you call mechman? They don't have the recent online and they just made a new 320amp for my scion tC. Dc I heard was a tad ahead in technology

    Yes i spoke with Mechman and EA as well as dc power before I purchased my EA back in November.... Dc provided no reason why they could make a 250 or 270 and said there would be no belt slip but everyone I've asked their opinion has sad there would be.... EA & Mechman said its Bc that's the biggest that can use/make to make it go in the stock location without heavy modification

    I have a shitty hydraulic tensioner on my mechman 320. it slipped when I started the car, but now it's good. Only time it slips is when my AC is on blast at idle and music turned up then I accelerate. The main thing if its a hydraulic tensioner is to make sure it's new/good condition and let it tighten by itself. It took a few days for me. Second if it doesnt work replace with a bigger idle pulley, shorter belt, or new tensioner. Getting import cars to work on after market alts is a bitch and there is no way around it. I absolutely hated the process but I can't complain that with my saz3500 volts stay at 13.6 :D

    Yep it is a hydraulic tensioner

    I've had my EA 225a on since November and still on start up, stopped at lights etc with the ac blasting good I get squeal which I assume Means the belt is slipping

  12. Building new box TOMORROW, need input tonight please :D Dual SA-12 build.

    torres box builder is idiot proof all you do is plug in measurements and it does all the calculations.

    i did it for u

    14.5H X 38W X 23D

    port 4W X 13H X 30L

    .28 for sub displacement

    .08 for bracing

    .17 xtra baffle displacement

    after displacement comes to 3.20 @33.97hz

    that gives you 1.6 per sub, which is within the 1.5-2.0 cu ft recommended, that should be fine

    I have 2 of the stinger ones and they have worked perfect for well over a year now... I have 2 blue ones because my speedometer and tachometer are blue...I've never had any issues with how bright they are at night and they are both in plain view, never been pulled over for them or questioned about them.

    Are they illegal to have?

    thats kinda iffy or a gray area.... depends on the officer or who ever you encounter, as with any aftermarket lightening it can be considered a distraction to other drivers if its viewable outside the vehicle...youd have to check your state and local laws...for instance here ins SC anything red blue and/or flashing is iilegal anywhere onthe vehicle...

    its one of those things that common sense comes into play, chances are if your not speeding or doing something else stupid or jamming out full tilt around a cop you arent going to get pulled over or cited for it.

    I have never had any issues at all with them where they are at and have been since installed, most of the ones made are either red or blue, if its to bring do like someone else suggested and put some tint over it to dim it some, you could even use a relay and attach it to the dimmer switch for your dash lights, or even techforce makes these...http://techforcepcservices.com/shop/viewitem.php?productid=569
