shepherd92683 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Any suggestions on an alt based on information given? DC is out of my price range unfortunately. 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Did you ground directly to the alt casing rather than the block? Give that a try and see if it helps.

DubNDodge Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I still don't think he should have that much drop. I have a 120a alt a d3100 and d925. I drop to 13.1 on a 90 degree day. With a 2200 and 90.4. How do your grounds look OP?

truthsayer Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 What size wire to rear. CCA or OFC? Your alternator is stock it needs upgraded. How long do you run it at full tilt? pictures of grounds? Did you remove any wires off the alternator (stock)?1/0 to the rear. I know I need to upgrade the alt. it will happen one day lol. I did not rove any wires during big 3.What do you mean used to? Did you change anything?It seems to have happened more after I upgraded my boston amp. It just doesn't seem that running it stereo at 1.5 ohms like the last one I had would be that hard of a drop. By used to I mean within the last 6-8 months and it's been steady since then.If I add another hc2400 and a 270a mechman would that be sufficient to run as a daily if I upgrade to an sq 3500.1? That should do it. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepherd92683 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Grounds are solid. Somedays it will float while driving 13.6-14 other days like today it floated 12.4-12.6. I don't get it. Shouldn't there be more consistency? 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherd92683 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 There also was no change in a bad way after I did big 3. Actually gained about a volt. 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 There also was no change in a bad way after I did big 3. Actually gained about a volt. Stock alt is PCM regulated. Shuts off when it senses batteries are charged and also when temperature gets too high.

shepherd92683 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Mechman emailed me and suggested the G series 250a. Anyone have experience with that alt? 2017 Honda Accord Touring Build coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
