Jay L. Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have a big Singer hairpin alt., externally reg'd. He estimates 430+ amps at 1800ish rpm, and if I remember correctly it put out 260 at alt. idle (which is not engine idle). Engine idles 7-800, alt turns on at about 1100. I'm sooner than later going to be installing another alt, one with engine idle output. Lets say it makes 200 amps at engine idle and 300 amps at 1800rpm. So a total of 730 amps at 1800. Lets say I have 700 amps of draw. I know to a certain point both alts share the load, but does that change when one alt is working harder than the other?

Kyblack76 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 got ya... i recall now that said.. You will never see 400amp .... real world dude.....' also..hes telling you WHAT it can do. in your car.. expect around 2/3's. hot and real world. No way youll see 400 amp off anything..... not dc not mechman, not anything...... If you can show me a vid of a single alt even (with no other pull on the same belt, like a 3 or 4 set up) show me..... At the end NO, mixing wont hurt you.. the alt will turn on, like the others and feed what it can when it can.

Jay L. Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 If you would quit with the internet nazi routine, and the pm's telling me to "watch" what I post....please "MY" question wasn't about the big alt., it was about the smaller one. I could care less if MY big alt puts out 430, but it WILL put out MORE than the next SMALLER alt that I put on. For ANYONE else out there, will the smaller alt be working TOO hard under full load? Should I send the big alt back to be rebuilt for engine idle output, and get another matching alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 you wont ever get an HO alt that will put out at engine idle.. best bet is to get a stock or a bit higher if you want engine idle output my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
