Kranny Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I have a 2000 f150 and wanted the 270A unit from mechman. Called them and they told me that would be bad for my truck due to the limited belt wrap on the 4.6l/5.4l engines from ford at that time period. They said they've had way less issues with the 240A unit. Saved me $100 and probably a mountain of issues. lololol you serious? buddy of mine has a crown vic with the 4.6 and has a dc power 270xp on it. i never heard his belt make so much as a peep when demoing full tilt with 20k.

GSanders17 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Mike Singer told me this exact same thing when I ordered my alt from him. He said he could build me a 300 amp alt for my Civic but it wouldn't charge at idle so I should go with the 260 amp since my car is a daily driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyblack76 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thats why I always recommend the Elite. Both of mine that I have had on two different vehicles are monsters at idle. any hairpin alternator will be a monster at idle. thats what they are designed to do. thats why i will run nothing but hairpins. my old alt did not idle at all. (350A alt on a 4 cylinder 2.2 liter). i didnt realize how much i hated it until i went to a 240A hairpin. the new lower rated alt gives more power at idle than my old larger one and almost the same peak. one thing id like to point out for everyone is to confirm from the company if you are buying a cold peak rated alternator or a hot rated alternator. Most companies that we all know and love rate their alts with a cold peak rating. A few tests I have done on multiple of these alts show thier true colors hot are not so nice. so that is why the 240A that i got turned out to be overall better than the 350 I had since the 240 was hot rated adn 350 was cold rated. my .02! I see the exact same thing. I have a dual set up. One, a "smaller rated" large case hairpin, the other a large case "larger rated" conventinal. The hair pin walks all over the conventinal. Big time when its been running for a spell (heat). When i do my 30s pshyclone runs, i do it at idle. Everyone just looks at me like im nuts...lol. But, ya, HAIRPIN/6phase is the ONLY shit ill run now. I need to get the conventinal recased sometime. Thought was to have a lil of both, a low turn on monster, and a higher "peak" monster. Anyway, im extremely satisfied with my hair pin for sure....

Keith77 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Not everyone needs a alt to put out at idle. Just a fyi. I would have to say i agree with this statement as well as some the op said. All applications are different. At finals last year i seen something that blew my mind from an alternator standpoint. I had just had a talk with mike singer in regards to my car and alt and such. After talking with him a guy i know asked me to come get a demo of his car and he would prove what singer said to be true. This guys vehicle didn't do shit at idle.. I don't even think it was charging.. but when he started to put a load on the vehicle and rev'ed to 2k his voltage CLIMBED ! I seen 12.2 then 12.9 then 13.4 then 14 then 14.8.. Shit was climbing the more he got on it. Now would that work in my application.. hell no.. because after i get hammered i don't even know where the gas pedal is to rev the motor but all applications are different.. and now that i think about it i thats exactly what you were saying in the beginning so i have no clue why in the hell i went off on this rant.. shit i need more coffee.. disregard everything that i just said. 2 Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.
