hdorre Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Yellow tops are fine... why would batteries matter when your trying to hold OVER what they can provide???? people are weird.... exactly.. ANYHOW.. The vfl is what, a 3800 watt amp? My Flatline FL2 and Ampere 3800 setups (1 ohm nominal in both situations) held high 13s (~13.7v) revved, and LOW 13s (13.1v) at idle. I have a 230A Singer alt.

Bump4life Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 get the biggest alt you possible can. youll thank me later. once you have purchased largest alt you can and installed, do your big 3. next charge all your batteries with a quality smart charger like xs power or ctek. after that report.

Ahmed Johnson Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 If the alternator is internally regulated, couldn't he run a wire from the alternator to the amp or a battery in the back and bypass any PCM or factory charging system?
Bump4life Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 If the alternator is internally regulated, couldn't he run a wire from the alternator to the amp or a battery in the back and bypass any PCM or factory charging system? regulation is a separate circuit from the output post on the alt. and is a separate circuit from the pcm system when using an external regulator. there are ways to trick in but i like incorporating so your battery light actually tells you something useful. those lights and circuits are there for a reason. IMO if alternator companies don't know how to incorporate their regulation systems into cars they really have no idea how the circuit is working. its not that hard to make a circuit to shut off the battery light yet still have it light up if there is an issue with the charging system. stick simple and incorporate your internal regulator with stock pcm. voltage isnt everything. amperage is what you want while maintaining voltage.

Ahmed Johnson Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks. I haven't had an issue with my alt and I believe I have a PCM.
Bump4life Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Thanks. I haven't had an issue with my alt and I believe I have a PCM. every car has a pcm, its just whether or not it controls alternator to increase fuel efficiency Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

That is exactly right Anthony The way we have gone around the pcm is to turn the alt on with a internal regulator or external if you add one. The internal is included in the total costs you were given before though and sets voltage at 14.8V If you tied into the stock regulator in any way it would not yield a performance gain (there is just a battery light you get going around it but it will not impede daily operations) For wiring it, you just go to a key hot (a 12V ignition source that is isolated with a relay or to any 12V source that works with ignition) This is what I was told by mike. I just dont understand wiring it to a 12v ignition source and that bypassing the pcm. So if I go from alt positive to fuse box thats 12v ignition it will bypass the ecm? Its gotta be a 12v ignition source that the oem alternator isnt using that way it bypasses the pcm? Im not worried about the battery light I can shut that off with my tune tool.
