Nikitaaa Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Recently installed a mechman 240. At first I used the stock size belt (alt has an overdrive pulley) Alt charged way lower than normal (13.8-13.6) Bought a new belt and put that in. Now charging a bit higher (13.8-14) but the charging light is still on... My questions are: 1) does anyone who owns/work with this generation of civic have a similar issue when installing a high output alt? 2) what did your car charge at cold and warmed up? 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead7890 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I have an 06 with a DC power and my charging light comes on for a sec every once in a while. I haven't measured it when its cold.

Nikitaaa Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks for the info!!! Wonder why this light is coming on. Anything I could troubleshoot? Also, any idea what your overall voltage is looking like with the car on? Warm or cold doesn't really matter 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, any idea what your overall voltage is looking like with the car on? Warm or cold doesn't really matter I don't know what you could troubleshoot. Also now that I thought about it, when I first installed my alt, the light came on and stayed on, so I change my starting battery and it went off. Now it just flickers every once in a while, I think it may have flashed once or twice last month. I'll check out the voltage tomorrow.

Maebros Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 One thing to be aware of with 8th gen civic as well as any other newer Hondas is the ELD (Electrical Load Detector) this is a small module in your cars charging system that limits charging voltage. something about feul economy or some shit like that. here is a tutorial adam did a while back on bypassing it for a older gens http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/139844-how-to-eld-bypass-for-honda-civicaccordfit/ HU: Pioneer AVH x5800BHS SP Amp: AQ 120.4 Front SP: Hertz Hsk 165 Rear SP: DD cxs 6.5 SW Amp: Crescendo BC2000d SW 2 DC level 3 12" Electrical: Stock alt for now XS D2400 XS D3400 Knukonceptz Kolossus Second skin damplifier On 8/8/2012 at 4:50 PM, Brandon15zzz said: I heard he actually graduated college with a 4.0 gpa.
