El1T3Bass Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 PM mechman and see what he says and if he can do anything for you cause that looks like a terrible way to do what they did. Honestly I don't have the money to get an entire custom alternator right now. I guess I'll just have to leave it. I'm only running a 500 watt RF amp, so it isn't too bad. I just thought I might as well do the Big 3 to help get the most out of the electrical system. Maybe just throw in a small second batt for now. You can get those kinetik hc600 for 50-60$ online and that along with the big3 stopped my voltage drop but I'm running 1000-1100w rms. I have a hc600 laying around, pm me if ya want it wow now this just shows that smd isnt just any forum. We are a brother hood. here let me put it in retard-onix for u aareehhhh duuuurrrrr ehhh got it now?

Jessica Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 May i ask what year and model your car is and what engine it has? Edit It looks like you have the 2.3l 4 cyl. here is a pic of the back of the alternator. Look where the arrow is on your alt. see if there is a wire there. It's back in a tight spot so it might be hard to see or covered by a rubber boot with flex loom around it. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Iraggi Alternator Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The best you can do with that alt is get the large spades that go in the plug and upgrade them to 8g. You really need to upgrade your alt. Not much you can do with that output termination. I didnt read but what are you showing the back of the alt for? Hold on... let me read it again... The arrow in the pic is nothing you want to connect anything to. You can ground the alt anywhere on the housing to the frame... and/or battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuetip Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 try to get more pix of your alt, sizes, back, and bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraggi Alternator Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Your alt doesnt have an output stud. It has two spade terminals.. The F terminal is for the regulator. Its not an output terminal for the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 If you look closely at the first pics you'll see 2 what look like 10ga wires on a plug with another white wire with black stripe. Just one of those alts it looks like you can't do a lot with, best option is to add a 2nd alt that's one wire on the engine if your able to find room. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
