c_ballin10 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Can someone give me advice i already upgraded my wires to 1/0 power and ground. Ran power to alternator and ground to chassis and chassis to engine block. Alternator is brand new only had for 2 weeks. Just upgrade wires today but no diffenrence. My voltz are at 12.2 still. I have a 1997 honda accord ex 2.7 v6. Quote
eaglescorpio1 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 what rpm did you test at? you get full power at about 2000 rpm. hook a digital multi meter up to the positive sourse of your alt and the chassis of the car and test at 2000 rpm. See what you get. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!!
c_ballin10 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Autozone told me dat my alternator was only puting out 12.2 voltz. But I test it out at 2000rpms and the voltz were like at 14.0 but itz not stayin like it drops back down to 11.9 to 12.0. I dont know whatz wrong Quote
treossi Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 did you take it off and test it at autozone, if you did, that test doesn't mean shit, since that tester only spins up to 3500 alternator rpm, (not engine rpm) and if they used they're vat type tester they probably hooked it up wrong, they did that to me, i just laughed Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
c_ballin10 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 I just want my power so i can throw my slap back in my car. I just add new 1/0 gauge to Quote
treossi Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 that doesn't answer my question Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
TechSys Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Autozone can't test h.o alts worth a crap. Just about any auto parts store can't. Quote Team Pinnacle / Team SouthEastSPL / Team SoundStream / Team GPI / GPI Sales Rep for Florida and Georgia
