On some models it can, on this vehicle he already has the smallest recommended pulley.

Not that I am aware of at this time, but if your idle is too low it's a simple matter of using a flash programmer to raise the idle speed.

so if i got this exact alternator for me 2.4l camry, i would have to make adjustments to raise my engine rpms for the alternator to charge at the ~14volts?

thus losing mpg's just to have a better alternator?

Tim unfortunately I have yet to resolve my issue. I have found no way to adjust the throttle as stated a few posts above. I lost my job shortly after my last post and couldn't afford to pay a mechanic to remove the alternator, then pay to ship it and be without a car for however long it would take....then get it back and pay my mechanic to install it once again.

Even if there is a way to adjust the RPM it won't affect mileage much as even with continually revving the car at red lights I still get about 350 to 380 miles to the tank.

Can you guys find a company for me that does it for my car? I think it'd be a good gesture as I've looked and found nothing so far... thanks mechman

If you want to send the unit back we can de-tune it to a 240 amp spec. This would have a lower turn on speed, and would likely give you better voltage at idle.

The 240 amp stators where not available when you purchased this almost 2 years ago.

This was received less than one year ago .....

This image is from the shipping of the unit which wasn't even the correct unit:

Oh okay, well I need to get some monies AGAIN to get this unit uninstalled .. That offer is a great option because I was relying on my car during the Hurricane Sandy fiasco and I had no power for over a week... So I used a bit more gas charging up electronics in my vehicle... It was dipping into the 11's again if I didn't push down on the accelerator....

Oh, I must have misread that. It doesn't really matter though, as we didn't come out with the 240 amp option until 5 months ago. The 240's are not even in our paper catalog yet, but will be for 2013. I'm just throwing that out there as a possible solution for your problem if you can't get the idle speed bumped up.

yes.... I'm hoping that it wouldn't come at a cost to me as I have a 270a unit .... Let me know Mr Mechman... I'll borrow some monies to get this unit uninstalled and shipped if so..... Thanks again
