Mechman Alternators

The Highest Output Alternator is Not Always the Best Option!!!


Recommended Posts

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.

i think i know your buddy there pretty well lol... ask that fucker did he gets those leads changed out and the new coils like i said

:peepwall:

:ninja:

LOL i think he's got the new leads now...on just two subs though

awesome.. hopefully he will get those other 2 swapped out.. he will notice a change in sound as well as better cooling all together.. Those coils were ninja tested and approved ;)

:ninja:

the coils are changed too? i thought it was just the lead change from sandwiched/stitched to foad.

the ones that he had did not have the new updated coils ( which have been out for a while) from when i talked to him at slam.. when i was testing them before they were released they were night and day different.. have a different ( better) sound as well as improved cooling from before which in his application he needs because he gets them bitches warm.. but i guess any sub would when your throwing a fucking 5500 to them at .5 LOL

he is in my top fucking 2 cars EVER..

:ninja:

.5? bruh dont you mean .33 cause of dem Fi .7 coils?

you were at slam wtf i didnt see you. cue ninja joke.

edit: did you get a demo with the passenger seat out? hurt butts literally.

yea .33 sorry lol.. i have never heard it before and he made sure i got a demo.. with the seat out.. almost shit myself.. no doubt.. that thing is just on another level. we talked for a bit.. after the demo i called nick and told him to make him the new recones with the included coils and leads.. if he ever gets more electrical behind it.. LAWD!

and yes i was there.. i was hidden most of the time tho.. another surprised car was lems's. i told that sum bitch a long time ago he needed to rid of that ns1 and since switching to the 8k its NIGHT AND DAY different.

but that vic is just plain brutal. the video with jamy ( the sundown van) was because i went and drugged that motherfucker over to hear it.

Dude I sat in that thing at slam with the seat out facing the wall. It was definitely one of the most intense demo's I got at slam. Really had to tighten up my chest to hide the pain.
