binks.333.binks Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 what kind of electrical you have jlh2003? I am trying to get an idea what i need, i am going to be running a bc5500. So far I picked up the 280 singer alt yesterday and got 2 runs done. stopping by knukonceptz tomorrow and pickin up wire for another run of positive and 2 runs of negative. hopefully buying some c&d batts locally just don't know how many i need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a batcap 4000 I add sometimes for daily use since I compete in IASCA and the classes I run are limited to two total batteries. Singer 280a for what car? http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=88276 AlphaDamp CLD Tiles - Get more sound deadening using less sound deadener http://www.secondskinaudio.com/products/AlphaDamp.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much power you running exactly with what kind of voltage drops? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binks.333.binks Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 thats right... forgot you posted voltage numbers already. hopefully if it stops raining here soon i will get the rest of my wires ran and finish deadening the passenger door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh2003 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Here's some insight thanks Matt@Mechman: Jonathan- They have machined a billet front housing with the required bolt pattern for the civic, that accepts large case Denso internals. The unit is essentially exactly the same as our 250 amp “Idle-Max” units that we offer for full size trucks. We could build the exact same thing, we just have not had enough interest in that application to justify the additional time and expense of designing and machining a billet housing for that vehicle. For most people, the 240 amp unit is sufficient, and is very popular due to the lower $449 price tag. The 240 amp unit that we offer performs well all the way down to 600 engine rpm. We can build a 320 amp unit for that application for $499, but it will not make very much current below 800 engine RPM. Our 320 amp unit makes 140 amps by 900 engine RPM, full output by 1800 rpm. Like DC’s unit, ours uses 6 phase hairpins stator technology, and has twin internal rectifiers with 12 press fit diodes. Ours is just a little bit smaller, and makes a lot more peak power, so it doesn’t quite have the low RPM grunt of the DC unit. It would essentially be the same internals as in DJ’s 320 amp universals.

Just curious trying to understand how one company can make it so big but the other 3-4 big name companies cant, I've yet to see or hear anyone who has the DC power 250 or 270a unit, here is the two i am referring to: https://www.dcpowerinc.com/high-output-alternators/xp-series-high-output-alternators.html?make=Honda&model=Civic&year=2006&engine=1.8L+I4+R18A We are just curious and want to get a better understanding thanks -- -Jonathan Team Nemesis Team XS Power Team Second Skin Team Sundown Audio http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=88276 AlphaDamp CLD Tiles - Get more sound deadening using less sound deadener http://www.secondskinaudio.com/products/AlphaDamp.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
