demonstr8 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Will upgrading your factory alt. to a higher output alt. cause any technical problems with your electrical system? i've heard rumors that it could cause you to start popping fuses to other devices or harm your ECM. Are there steps to take to prevent this? Thanks for any input...

EricM9104 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 if you have the alternator set to run a higher voltage yes you'lkl start fucking shit up. higher amperage but staying under 15v and you'll be fine Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 24k miles Stock H/U and mids/highs Power Acoustik GW3-12" D2 Sub HiFonics BXX1200.1D @ 1ohm Random 2.5^3' dual ported box NVX LOC Stinger wiring throughout 1977 Chevy SWB Cammed 350 Dual exhaust Cheap Wish stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I've never had problems with an upgraded alt causing fuses to blow and the ECM will not be effected unless you bump your voltage over 18v.

newls1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I run 15.2 - 15.6v daily on my tahoe with 2 alts, and 3 batts, and not a damn thing has ever happened. Practice safe wiring skills and you'll be good to go. Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotloud555 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) No problem with car electrical when upgrade to H/0. I wouldn't wanna run over 15 volt because it might cause electrical issues. Make sure you know what's you doing.

newls1 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 try out DC Power before you purchase. They may be slightly higher, however in the event of a technical issue may arrise, you can always have rob a phone call away.

Dr. Johnson Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 They have not been around much and saying that he is just a call away is far from the truth lately. I am not saying do not buy from them but read their area. Even the admins have had a very difficult time getting ahold of them. Lets be completely honest here. no BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
