Toofast4u Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I tried talking to em' months ago. I couldn't get a straight answer on idle output among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt@mechman Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 The unit in the link is a small case, 3 phase Mitsubishi design Honda unit. It will NOT have good output at all if it actually makes 170 amps peak output. Also, if you look at the back of the housing, you will see that the rectifier is very small (about half the back of the unit) with limited inlet openings for airflow. For that vehicle, we use a 6-phase hair pin unit that has infinitely better idle output capabilities. We can go as far with it as 320 amps peak, and still maintain 150 amps by 800 rpm. Our entry level unit makes 160 amps with 100 amps at only 650 rpm !! All of our units are a direct bolt in, and feature 12 diodes instead of 6. All of our units feature double tier rectifiers that take up the entire back of the alternator for maximum heat dissipation and bomb-proof daily durability. Our units also come with a 2 year warranty and 6-day-a-week toll free customer service. 865-522-6166 ext. 202 [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel4055 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Did you ask if they did? Just because it's not on their site doesn't mean they don't have it. Rest In Peace mother.

nbshazeezee Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Well I bought the sketchy ass alternator, I just needed something cheap and cuz i am on a budget. It runs at 70amps idle and peaks at 170 amps at around 1500rpms. It should be better than my stock alternator that runs at 90 amps. Ill let you all know how it goes! Cheers!
