Recommended Posts

so i got a 220a high output alt, an when installed i realized that my headlights,dash lights, an other electronics in my car are dimming now, it never did that with my stock alt installed. an im trying to figure this problem out, an im not sure what i can do. this problem is pissing me the hell off. an this is all dimming with no music playing. any ideas?

Most HO alts don't put out diddly at idle rpm....

Need smaller pulley or raise rpm

Pretty much this. My EA 200a is the same. I drop to 12.8 at idle.

because your stock alt probably did more at idle.

Most stock alts are designed to do more at idle like kranny said.

Don't bump at idle :D

Or get a DC power with their XP series. Usually does over a 100 amps at idle
