Guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 what kind of 220a alt do you have? sounds like your car cant spin it fast enough to output enough current to keep the voltage up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of shit alternator? Should put that in my signature I kinda screwed myself when I bought it...220amps at 4k RPM = 100 mph for full output. Go me.

Thought it was a hell of a deal compared to $300-$600 is there anyway around it, or just buying a new alternator? Edited February 4, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

Lbox88 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you can, maybe get an underdrive pulley cheap til you can get a new alt maybe? Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carshateme Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Well going to mechman alternator since DC alternators don't make H/O alternators for 95 buick skylarks...heck Mechman doesn't...I just found a buick in their list that has a 3.1L motor, the same as mine...this one. 165 amps at 700rpm - $499 http://www.mechmanhighoutputalternators.com/shop/products/GM-270a-alternator-GM-Intermediate-CS130D-conversion-AD237-case.html OR I found something from DB electrical...I dunno about them though. 200Amp at 1200rpm -$207 http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-4470-skylark-200-amp-high-output-alternator-96-97-98-8202-7.aspx Which would be the better bet...?

alaskanzx5 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 well, if you got a second ebay alt and ran both you would be able to get better output but you should just post the pos on ebey for $100 then buy an actual highoutput alt. Quote t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
