Nikitaaa Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 So far the build looks flawless and I really like how you made the fiberglassing and pods to blend with the stock interior colors of the Lexus. Score with the new alternator; I wish mechman made one for my own vehicle. I must ask, what were you dropping to voltage wise with the stock alternator? 12s?

Purplehaze Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Got my Mechman 270a alternator today Here is just a few pics of it. I might put it in next week and when i do, you know i will take pics and post a video. Right now, my stock alt charges @ 13.1-13.4v and that is weak. It is 180a stock so i will give it credit for that Anyway, this one should charge @ 15.2 cold and 14.9 hot. It benched @ 278a. Looks awesome! I can't wait to get a Mechman alt on my ride! One question though. Isn't your voltage controlled by the pcm? Just curious if it came with a voltage module, since you said your car only charges @ 13.1-13.4, and this alt would run at a higher voltage? Anyway, that is a really nice looking alt, with really nice output, should make for a stout setup along with what you already have!

meade916 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 nice looking alt! bet its a pain on the F to change out tho not no hoe making it easy being right up on top. lol once the car is on the lift and the plastic is all removed, it is actually RIGHT in front of my face......but that still don't change the fact that i don't like playing with that motor. I suppose if i can do 4, i can do one simple swap out though LOL Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Mechman DOESN't "make one" for my ride either. A stock one had to be purchased and then upgraded. I don't see why you can't do the same Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!
