yea we will see.

as of this point I can not add any more power. I am still dropping like crazy.

I just put in a 350A alt but im still dropping to 11.9 in some situations. I have a ton of wiring all over. I need to find my bottleneck and get a clamp meter to make sure the alt is putting out anywhere close to 350A. im sure the alt is doing the job because it drops my RPM by about 1000 on heavy notes so i know currents is being produced. so only thing i can think is that my return path is choked somehow.

mercedes engines run hot so I think i gotta run some grounds right off the alt case for them to be effective.

we will see.

anyone ever have this problem? cold start im at 14.7 volts. then 10 minutes of diriving in 75 degerees im down to 14.1. then after she is fully warmed up i sit at 13.7- 13.8.

when I am hot, my voltage can drop as low as 11.7 at the amps (with dual inputs) and 11.9 at the batts (both starting batt and secondary in trunk both are D3100s).

I have all OFC KNU Kollosus wiring. 2 runs POS from alt to back. 3 engine gorunds at various points around engine. all grounds connected to frame and are shorter than 1 ft.

only thing i can think of is that my frame has high resistence or my engine has high resistence. so im thinking adding grounds as full runs or directly from alt case to frame may solve my problem.

I have already checked for PCM control and hooked alt up from a 12volt source other than car. same voltage readings.

hello all. havent been here in a while. busy with school and work. a lot has happened!!

i will catch it all up but right now here is a look of some new toys!!

DD 95z!!

Zs and some caps!!!

I have results with caps in and they are very awesome!!

Those motors are just sexy

thanks man! they should handle the power better than my 9500s and be a little stronger too! and a hell of a lot lighter!! achieved all of my goals!!

adding caps instead of batts to save weight as well

looking forward to see what you do with them motors and caps.

Order up a nice 20 or so foot run of ofc and run a negative outside your car. See if you see better voltage. In for results.

Iv been looking into caps. Seems like they recharge faster and discharge slower then batteries.

ehh they dont have as much power as batteries. they are good if you have a lot of them or a solid electrical behind a few banks. im doing some tests now to tell people exactlt what they need. ill make a new thread about it.

I wanna see cap tests yay

no tests in my car yet. but we tested them in my buddies. on pretty much stock electrical. my car is this weekend.
