ChevyBoy95 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 As of now I'm checking out DC Power to see if they have anything that fits my application, which is probably like 220 amps or so. Hopefully I can find one that isnt $500 though.

Autruche Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you want an alternator, you should also try emailing mechman about a unit, or try seeing if you can get an alternator though tejcurrent, ohio generators is a great company too.

Yea I need to look around. Even though mechman and dc power make solid units, I don't want to spend 450-500 dollars on a alternator, but idk I might have to.

sprkn_ranger Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Do you have room for a second alt? You could probably get away with adding another stock alt. It would be way cheaper than buying a HO alt. That is if you can fab your own bracket or know someone that can help you with that.

Ehh maybe, I checked yesterday and I feel confident with the amount of open space to the side of my current alt, I could fit a 2 more alts if I had the fab skill, as in room, not that I would. Dual stock is an option.

crunkjuice1 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) If you have waited this long just put your mind to it and wait and save a bit longer and just get a HO alt. Patience is a virtue It took me 7 months to finally get my alt I noticed even with adding a second battery once my amps hit batteries up the stock alt just couldn't keep up with amps and trying to top off batteries. I played it safe and not bumped for awhile since I realized for my setup I ran through three stock alts. Every setup is different but I still think you should save up for mechman or DCpower alt. I can only speak of mechman that you will most likely get a mounting bracket made to help mount their alt to your car, and DCpower most likely does the same.

ChevyBoy95 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Yea an just for fun, I checked my voltage at amp (AQ1200D at 1) and my drop is from 13.98v to 13.69v, on my highest listening level. Battery up from reads 14.08v but didn't measure it's drop.
