Pokey Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Do you have to hook up the new alt now??? Or could it wait til next week??? Quote
slim8605 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 my voltage drops real low so i wanted to do it now. would it make a difference if i put it in if i still have the stock wiring? Quote 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock
Pokey Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 IMO it may be too small. I'd try to wait it out if I were you. How bad could it be not being able to bump for a few days??? Quote
slim8605 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 It'll be bad cuz im goin to a couple partys for new years and i wanted to show off. :'( i can wait tho! i was just curious. thanks southern Quote 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock
Slinky Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 Somebody correct me if im wrong but i dont think there is a problem with puttin it in now. you just wont reach the full potential of the alt.

slim8605 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 Thats what I thought but I wasnt sure. Quote 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock
Pokey Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 True, and I didn't wanna say go for it and have something happen to it. So I'd try to wait it out. It's kinda like using 4ga wire for your amp when you need 1/0. Too small could end up hurting it or not giving it what it needs to perfore at its best. If you really wanna go through with it, go for it, but if anything happns...I'm not to blame here....blame slinky...LoL. Quote
Dale Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I was thinking that maybe your system could draw more current than the stock wiring will carry and cause overheating/melting. It's one thing if your alternator CANNOT provide more current. But it's a different thing to have an alternator that CAN provide the current, a system that CAN draw the current, BUT small wiring for the current. See my point? Quote
slim8605 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Posted December 31, 2006 yea i understand what your sayin Dale. i ordered my new wire from knukonceptz so i should be gettin it soon. i decided to wait a lil longer. so i wont have to blame slinky ;D Quote 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock
