crunkjuice1 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) I got this in yesterday, its a 250 max 200 idle exernally regulated alternator. Thanks again Mat, Mike, and Josh for all your help!!!! Main thing that catches my eye is the large amounts of cooling this unit has. Hope you guys like the pics. Oh Yeah Megatron tried to help hold the alt in place for the pic haha! Edited August 18, 2012 by crunkjuice1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunkjuice1 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 From the little I know its the voltage regulator and its adjustable from 14v up to 20v. Normally the regulator is built into a alternator but when its external like this I'm guessing it leaves more space in the alternator for more beefy parts and the regulator case design helps it stay cooler rather than it being inside the alternator where heat can and will affect performance. Thats what I think the point of going this route achieves but anyone see me saying something wrong please correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMI CUSTOMS Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You can get by with 10 gauge wire from local auto parts store if you keep it short like less then 3 feet. I just know alot of people use 8 gauge and I tried 12 gauge with mine and it didn't like that, but mine are also 6+ ft way too, so 8 gauge was a must plus I had a full 250' spool for my build.

crunkjuice1 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 AMI what are "signs" that I'm guessing you mean the regulator didn't like long runs with thin wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
