Jessica Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Over heating huh? Well, do you have an internal water pump or external? if it's an external water pump you might have belt slip with the extra strain of the new alt and your water pump isn't getting turned fast enough. But you would think you would hear some squall from the belt if it was slipping. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Kyblack76 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 damn it, i just re read that... my bad... the install looks pretty good to me... coming from another unibody owner as well.. Are you seeing this voltage on a hand held meter? or are you looking at the voltage with a display type unit you have hooked up? like a stinger or dakota digital type of unit?

Amart88 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'll go make a little "walk around" vid of the system and see if you notice anything not right or something. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudPursuit Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have the exact same car. The computer has a built in regulator that alternates the voltage to increase fuel economy. The only way to fix it is to install an older style alt (off of a cavalier) and deal with a low battery indicator on you dash at all times. Otherwise the voltage will always be fluctuating.

Is there no way to bypass it? like mla or something? damn I don't want to get a less powerful alt as the 270 is just cutting it. maybe look into a second alt in place of the ac in the near future.

LoudPursuit Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Only way is how I told you. Older model alt. Most ecotecs have this feature which is a pain when trying to install a stereo. You could try chipping the computer though, get to a true tuning garage and have them program the chip to keep a consistent voltage (and increase horsepower.)

Junior Russell Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 you could try hooking the alt up to an external voltage regulator instead of the pcm... http://www.youtube.c...e1?feature=mheehttp://www.stevemead...87#entry1993187 JVC KD-R530 head unit VVME INNO-D1500 sub amp Kenwood KAC-8402 amplifierPioneer 2-way 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohms DTI Audio 6.5 X2 @ 4 ohmsbox: 4.24 ft^3 tuned to 61 hertz (port walls fell off and dissapeared ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
