Cardboardcat15 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It definitely does. I had an issue with Idle speed in my application, to a point where the alternator doesn't even charge when I idle in drive. Granted, I stuck a 220 amp alternator on a tiny 90HP 1.6l engine that idles below 700 RPMs. It was pretty much my fault because I didn't realize this would happen until AFTER i bought and chopped my alt bracket and got the thing installed. Just do your research. Find out what your engine idles at in drive, and figure out what RPM speed the alt you're gonna buy starts charging at. Chances are you'll be fine, but you can never be too sure. My Channel on YouTube.
