fritosaregood Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Right now I have a DC 270xp alt on my 95 honda accord, a d3400 up front and 4 d3100s in the back, running a 5krms amp. I know with my setup a VCM wont magically keep my voltage at 14.9 at full tilt, but Im having problems with dropping .3~4 volts from turning on lights, and the same when turning on the a/c. But my biggest annoyance right now is that alot of times the honda computer just decides to shut the alt down to charging at 12.5. Will the VCM get around this problem and override the cars computer?

THEKINGsBACK Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well that sucks.. Is Toyota still a import? ummmm can you find a Toyota plan in Detroit?? Im Just sayin? Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is an ELD, and is that safe?
