Aveo wouldn't be my first choice, but it's what I have and something different from what everyone else is doing. I apologize for the lack in updates, but more will be trickling in soon. Just got new wiring for the 4-channel, should be an interesting rebuild coming up. Now, what I've been waiting for... My new Iraggi 320A alt.... Just came in today... enjoy ;-) Stock comparison coming soon. Then we'll see how voltage fairs, and possibly meter again. 2011 Chevrolet Aveo(click for build log)Clarion NX-603SKAR 4500.1DIraggi 320A alt Knukonceptz 1/0 Kollosus Fleks Cable8 AWG Sky High Car Audio OFC 1/0- Sky High Car Audio 2- XP3000 XS Power BatteriesSMD VM-12- 12" Ascendant Audio Mayhems Toolmaker Fuse block Toolmaker Bus Bars (Last Season scores 1-15" Mayhem) 145.2 dB- Sealed @ NSPL World Finals (9/28/14) 148.1 dB- Hardcore @ NSPL World Finals (9/27/14) 150.23-- Hardcore on 4500 Watts!!!!

mikelbolton Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 As promised, here's a stock vs. built alternator comparison. Now, as you can see, there's not much difference in the two. Windings look larger inside the Iraggi case, and it's quite a bit heavier. Below is another side-by side pic, followed by the real problem. The new alt is machined so that it sits farther back from the mount, so that the new pulley lines up... The problem is that the case now will hit the intake manifold, if mounted normally. The picture below shows the mounting brackets just how they'd mount to the motor, and just how far back the alt will sit. Here are the pics where I began the installation. I took an old tensioner bracket I had laying around, and drilled it out a bit. So that I could mount the alt, just an inch or so off the regular mount, to give me the clearance necessary. Sanded down. Painted metallic flake blue Now, I got everything mounted, but the tension on the belt pulls the alt at an angle. I didn't like this at all, but I tested it. It worked last night. Belt came off as soon as I started the car this morning. I'll have to have another bracket at the back of the alt and front to keep it from hanging at an angle. I think the first thing I'll do, is talk with Iraggi tomorrow. I think we can come up with a quick and easy mount to make this work, and so he'll know for future alt builds. Plus, we'll have to use a different belt based off of how much we angle the alt off of the original bracketing. 2011 Chevrolet Aveo(click for build log)Clarion NX-603SKAR 4500.1DIraggi 320A alt Knukonceptz 1/0 Kollosus Fleks Cable8 AWG Sky High Car Audio OFC 1/0- Sky High Car Audio 2- XP3000 XS Power BatteriesSMD VM-12- 12" Ascendant Audio Mayhems Toolmaker Fuse block Toolmaker Bus Bars (Last Season scores 1-15" Mayhem) 145.2 dB- Sealed @ NSPL World Finals (9/28/14) 148.1 dB- Hardcore @ NSPL World Finals (9/27/14) 150.23-- Hardcore on 4500 Watts!!!!

mikelbolton Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 @SMZ2: No problem bro, glad I could help and it was that simple a fix, lol I'll hopefully be starting a little work on it this week.... I finally did get the alternator on. I bought some steel bushings and some 2x4 strapping brackets, drilled and cut them down, and she's mounted. Voltage is great, alt is definitely helping in a big way. I, unfortunately, was sick and trying to make this happen quick-like, and did not take any pics. I will try to remedy this when I get to working on the new box... What is this!!!!???
