greg662 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 i just put on my dc power 270 amp alt and now from idle all the way up to 3000 rpm it sits at 12.3. I have tested it with a damn and it matches my VM in my car. with stock alt I stayed around 14.4 until I turned my system up it would drop to the low 13 high 12 now it's dipping down to the 11s and idea what might be my problem?

greg662 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 well what would be the cause and how does pulleys fix it? are you getting bigger ones? when it comes to engines and even alts I know little to none.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Sounds like the alternator isn't turned on. Check your connections and if you're still having problems call us. It's nothing about the alternator's turn on speed if it's constantly at 12.3 volts. Also, what vehicle? Quote
Nikitaaa Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 A smaller pulley would cause the alternator to see higher rpm Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw
tacomaguy1 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Is it plugged in right? Quote Team Flex Issues
Guest DC Power Kyle Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 A smaller pulley would cause the alternator to see higher rpm Has nothing to do with this if it's still at 12.3v at 3,000 Engine RPM. Quote
